Indications for LPG endermological massage

The abbreviation LPG comes from the name Louis-Paul Guitayc (Louis-Paul Guitay), who created endermology. In 1986, the French innovator was in a car accident and faced the problem of long-term rehabilitation from his injuries.

The apparatus he created was designed to facilitate this process. However, during its use, unexpected positive effects were discovered. LPG massage sessions not only eliminated the consequences of injuries and accelerated the restoration of physical fitness, but also contributed to weight loss, the formation of beautiful body contours and the natural rejuvenation of soft tissues.

Further improvement of the technology significantly expanded the possibilities of using the device. And after the technique received approval from the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration), it is successfully used in many areas of aesthetic cosmetology and medicine.

For aesthetic purposes for:

• elimination of local deposits of subcutaneous fat and skin folds;
• reducing the appearance of cellulite;
• smoothing skin texture;
• elimination of edema;
• modeling beautiful body contours.

For therapeutic purposes for:

• restoration of soft tissues of the body and their structures after diseases, lesions, operations and injuries;
• eliminating muscle pain, spasms and congestion in tissues;
• improving peripheral circulation and normalizing lymph flow;
• posture correction;
• strengthening the musculoskeletal system and the body.

For preventive purposes for:

• activation of local metabolism and lipolysis processes;
• improving transdermal (percutaneous) detoxification and elimination of metabolites;
• increasing local skin immunity.

In sports medicine for:

• improving trophism (nutrition) and oxygenation (oxygen saturation) of tissues;
• increasing the amplitude of muscle biopotentials and increasing their performance;
• accelerated removal of lactic acid, muscle recovery after injuries and during the training process;
• eliminating soreness, hypertonicity and “fossilization” of muscles.

Hardware massage using endermology technologies allows not only to eliminate visible and tangible body problems, but also to influence the causes of their occurrence.

An integrated approach guarantees the achievement of a positive result in a minimum number of procedures and with a prolonged (long-term) effect.

The effect of vacuum-mechanical massage

Research and reports from specialists at LPG Systems, which produces cosmetology devices for endermological massage, as well as reviews from clients of our clinic indicate the high effectiveness of the effect.

A full course of procedures allows you to achieve the following results:

• Increase venous flow and lymph flow by 2 - 3 times.
• Activate the functions of fibroblasts responsible for the synthesis of collagen, elastin and extracellular matrix.
• Increase the production of new collagen by 27 - 130%.
• Form a harmonious structure of soft tissues.
• Improve the structure and texture of the skin.

Hardware LPG massage affects all layers of the skin: epidermis, dermis and, most importantly, subcutaneous fat, triggering revolutionary changes in it.

At the same time, there is an increase in microcirculation and lymph flow, elimination of stagnation and increased permeability of fat cell membranes, which makes it possible to activate the processes of natural lipolysis (breakdown of fats). LPG is a kind of lipomassage that “unseals encapsulated” fat cells, improving and accelerating the natural “burning” of fat.

How does the procedure work?

LPG massage of the abdomen, thighs and other problem areas is carried out in an elastic suit that protects the skin surface from any kind of damage. After selecting an individual treatment program, the doctor at our clinic processes it with a handpiece, in the chamber of which an area of ​​reduced pressure (vacuum) is created and two rollers rotate.

The skin fold formed by vacuum is captured by one roller and smoothed by another. Thus, while working with the manipulator, a kind of “wave” is created throughout the body, which runs throughout the entire problem area. At the same time, the rollers change the direction of their rotation, which contributes to the most intense and deep tissue treatment.

Hardware massage of the body and its problem areas does not take much time. The average duration of 1 session is 30 – 40 minutes.

There is no pain or discomfort during the treatment. On the contrary, endermological massage is one of the most comfortable procedures in hardware cosmetology. It helps to relax, relieve accumulated fatigue and neutralize the negative effects of daily stress.

• An integrated approach – eliminating existing problems, the causes of their occurrence and effective prevention.
• Individual approach - the vacuum strength, the distance between the rollers, their rotation speed and other parameters of influence are easily changed, depending on the client’s problem.
• Quick visible and tangible results - after 1 - 2 procedures you can evaluate the positive changes that increase as you progress through the entire course.

The method has only one drawback – the presence of contraindications.

Contraindications

All hardware manipulations have a number of contraindications. Only a specialist can recommend endermology in each specific case. You cannot self-medicate, because... this can have a negative effect on the body. The B-flexy procedure has the following contraindications:

Vacuum massage is carried out in a special suit. The rollers act on the fat layer with wave-like movements and absorb the skin, lifting it.

The most important areas of influence are the upper and lower extremities, riding breeches, abdomen, face, hips and shoulders.

Girls cite a reduction in body volume and the return of elasticity as the primary effect as the results of an LPG massage The texture of the skin improves, the shade becomes healthy.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage of using cosmechanics is the disappearance of swelling and reduction in volume. In addition, the tissues actively begin to get rid of fluid, toxins and waste, so the patient can feel that the waist has become one centimeter thinner after the first procedure. Also, the advantages of endermolift are:

• multi-purpose focus: fat breakdown, lifting (tightening muscle structure), improving skin condition;
• long lasting effect;
• safety;
• versatility (lpg massage can be performed on any part of the body);
• noticeable visual result, quick effectiveness;
• deep effect on muscles, skin;
• complex effect (cosmetic, health, aesthetic).

The disadvantages of endermolift are:

• a large number of contraindications;
• you need to additionally buy a special suit;
• After the procedure, it is necessary to constantly maintain the body in shape, i.e. you should exercise and diet;
• the price for the whole course is high;
• preliminary diagnosis is needed.

Description of the method

The impact on the skin and subcutaneous structures is carried out by a device with special attachments - maniples. They imitate the work of a massage therapist's hands: warming, kneading, stretching, and vibration movements.

The mechanical rollers of the device are additionally equipped with vacuum suction cups. A doctor or massage specialist places the device in the right places, the skin is deeply massaged, and the vacuum effect enhances the effect.

The method was named after the first letters of the name of its inventor, Louis-Paul Guitay. He was a specialist in the field of cosmetology and massage, but after an injury scars formed on his skin, and he was looking for a way to get rid of or at least reduce their severity without getting tired of long self-massage and without becoming dependent on the quality of work of his colleagues. The mechanical-vacuum device he created met the inventor’s hopes, and then the LPG method spread and began to be used by professional massage therapists and rehabilitation doctors and cosmetologists to solve treatment, preventive and restorative problems.
