Endermologie - LPG
• A non-invasive technique – no downtime,
resume normal activities after treatment
• The LPG Technique is one of a kind
• A uniquely designed motorized device with
two adjustable rollers and controlled suction
• It gently folds and unfolds the skin and
targets the problem areas symmetrically
• Specific maneuvers are performed
Endermologie -LPG
• Smooth and deep tissue motions reduces the
thickness of the subcutaneous fatty layer
which increases blood flow and lymphatic
drainage
• The results are smoothing the interface layer
between the dermis and hypodermis
• Increases local blood circulation stimulating
the connective tissue, results are plumping
the skin layers
How RF Works
• By passing currents – displacement
of charged particles
• By rotation of water particles
Current Flow
• Heating depends on current flow
and resistance of tissue:
– The higher the current, the greater the
heating effect
– The smaller the area, the greater the
heating effect
– The higher the tissue resistance, the
greater the heating effect
