Endermologie
Claimed to be the only treatment approved by the American Food and Drugs Administration FDA to irradiate cellulite. The procedure reduces the 'orange-peel' appearance and localised fat, as well as boosting circulation and expelling abnormal water retention. A course of treatments totally banishes cellulite leaving you with a more refined figure. You dress in a protective body stocking as areas of concern are massaged using motorised rollers containing a vacuum pump to break down fat and induce lymphatic drainage.
How much? From £40 per 35 minute session, a course of 10 is recommended.
