Endermolift is a procedure created by specialists from the French company LPG Systems. The initial goal of developing lift massage was to find a way to restore the body after injuries. The effectiveness of massage was proven in the rehabilitation of patients with traumatic lesions, after which this technique began to be used not only in sports medicine, but also in aesthetic cosmetology.
At the moment, endermolift is one of the most popular techniques used in hardware cosmetology. When the procedure is carried out correctly, metabolic processes in the body are normalized, the patient’s figure and general well-being change. The main advantages of LPG massage are the ability to perform it on different parts of the body, a visible reduction in subcutaneous fat, and a minimal number of contraindications and side effects.
Operating principle of LPG devices
The essence of the technique is a mechanical effect on the skin with a vacuum attachment, which is called a manipulator. She pulls in and releases a small area of skin and uses rollers inside to knead it. Up to 16 such manipulations are repeated per second. Contrary to misconceptions, there is no discomfort during the procedure. A prerequisite for an LPG massage is an endermological suit, which completely eliminates pain and improves the glide of the nozzle.
The technique was developed by Louis Paul Guitey, a Frenchman, thanks to whom it bears its name. At first, LPG massage was used for other purposes. Using mechanical action, postoperative scars were softened, making them less hard and noticeable. It was only later that they discovered that the procedure was of interest to cosmetology. Massage makes the skin more elastic and reduces fat deposits.
Unusual name of the procedure
The name of this type of massage comes from the initials of the founder of the method, Louis Paul Huthe - LPG. He came up with a device that in 1973 helped him cope with post-traumatic scars that appeared on the cosmetologist’s body after an accident. Of course, there was no talk of any procedures similar to those carried out on a similar device today. Later, when the effectiveness of this method in combating scars and other irregularities on the skin was proven, other possibilities for using the device began to be considered, in particular, the ability to model the figure and prevent aging of the skin on the face and décolleté.
Who invented the LPG machine
The author of the technique, Louis Paul Gitey, during the recovery period after a car accident, underwent a course of painful massage sessions. Being an engineer, he realized that it was not necessary to torture the patient to get the same effect. As a result, the first LPG device appeared, the name of which is represented by the first letters of its developer. The second common name for the technology is endermology.
Since the advent of the first apparatus, research into the methodology and its improvement have not stopped. The latest development is the LPG integral device. The new technology is called Ergodrive. The manipule captures a large area of the surface being treated and acts more deeply. As a result, a more sustainable and tangible result is achieved.
LPG massage may have other names:
- endermolifting;
- lipomassage;
- cosmechanics;
- endermological massage;
Possible complications and side effects
Every therapy has some side effects. For LPG massage they are:
- swelling, redness of the skin - quickly disappear on their own;
- bruises, hemorrhages are an infrequent phenomenon, and if the massage is performed correctly, most likely it will not even appear;
Bruising and bruising are uncommon side effects. - pain - if it is felt at the very beginning of the session and then quickly passes, there is no need to worry. However, if they are observed until the very end of the procedures, and during each of them, you need to let the specialist know about it. Here one of two things: either the mechanical impact is too intense, or the body is too sensitive to it;
Patients usually do not feel pain - slight chills, fever, both in the first hours after the procedure - this means there is vegetative-vascular dystonia. You can simply relax and drink herbal tea.
Whatever the side effects that appear, the patient must immediately report them to the specialist: then he will be able to adjust the course of therapy.
You should report any side effects to your doctor.

Patient reviews
Irina, Volgograd
“A friend persuaded me to use the LPG massage service after finding a coupon that gave a big discount. The fact that I lost 10 kg and lost 8 cm in my waist was a big surprise. This massage is done using a bandage suit. The doctor said that it was needed so that there would be no severe pain during the procedure. One such suit, costing 500-600 rubles, will last the entire course, and can even be worn for subsequent courses. This product is made from dense and strong material. There are bandage suits in different sizes.
During the session I felt pleasant sensations, and the result was wonderful. However, I continue to go to the gym. I drank a lot of water. It is necessary that the doctor is good and performs the procedure correctly. I tried four techniques on myself. If you moisturize your skin with special products, it will make it more beautiful. I will continue my massage course! Another good thing is that there is lightness in the spine (I have “earned” three hernias in my life), the pain there has decreased, thanks to which I have not taken analgesics for several months now. This hasn’t happened for a long time.”
Girls respond positively to the procedure
Elena, Moscow
“Once upon a time I went for an LPG massage. An excellent method to recover after childbirth. Although, due to the individual characteristics of the body, the process of the sessions caused severe pain, I completed them all. I think I need to go again to look my best during the beach season.”
Sofia, St. Petersburg
“So far I have only completed a couple of sessions, but the result is already noticeable. My figure has become toned. According to the specialist, the device is simply wonderful. He said that even an intense classical massage did not give a similar result. Clients do not lose excess weight at first, but their figure is perfectly toned. And from the 5-6th session, weight loss begins.”
LPG massage pleases many with its results
Natalia, Moscow
“Because of my specialty (dressmaker), sometimes I need to not only dress my clients, but also undress them. Not long ago I came to a great and pleasant shock from the figure of one woman. Toned body and simply amazing legs! She has smooth legs, well, just like the legs from the ad with sliding scarves. And the client told me that this is the result of the fact that she completed the LPG course. Thanks to him, she lost 12 cm in her waist and 5 cm in her hips. And the bonus was that I felt much better. Now I’ll go too!”
Conclusion
The range of prices for devices is very wide. From several hundred thousand to millions of rubles. If I personally had to make a choice in favor of just one device, then I would choose Resoledy. It has an adequate price and rich functionality. The analogues are too cheap...well, I wouldn’t risk it. Although they are suitable for regions with low income levels. But only professional clinics that work with VIP clients will be able to afford original LPG devices, since the price for the service will be very high. I hope my review was useful to you. And remember that this is my personal opinion, like everything on my blog. You may have your own point of view and that's okay.
For what purposes can the technology be used?
LPG massage has found its widest application in cosmetology, effectively eliminating traces of even neglected and outdated cellulite, effectively correcting body contours, helping to eliminate fat deposits, making the skin firm and elastic. The result can be achieved due to the fact that during the procedure:
microcirculation of blood in problem areas increases, cells receive the full amount of nutrients and oxygen necessary for their life; the removal of waste into the lymph system improves and the outflow of lymph accelerates; metabolic processes are normalized; the condition and texture of collagen and elastin fibers improves, their tone increases, elasticity, firmness; the accumulation of bioactive elements is stimulated, attracting macrophages and fibroblasts, which participate in the synthesis of new collagen and elastin, which leads to skin renewal; muscle tone increases; tissue swelling is relieved.
Thanks to lpg massage, improving nutrition and metabolic processes in the epidermis, increasing skin tone, it is possible to achieve an effect in eliminating fine wrinkles. The vacuum-roller effect perfectly exfoliates and polishes the skin, promoting its renewal and regeneration, restoring beauty, freshness and natural velvety. After a full range of procedures, facial wrinkles are smoothed out, double chin is removed, swelling goes away, and skin elasticity increases.
LPG massage helps in the fight against stretch marks on the body (skin stretch marks), promotes the resorption of scars (burns, cosmetics). Due to massage manipulations, scar tissue softens, brightens, and becomes more elastic.
Epidermology, in addition to cosmetology, has found application in two more areas, sports and therapeutic. In the first case, it is necessary for many athletes to recover from injuries and injuries, speeds up the rehabilitation process, relieves swelling, muscle tension, pain syndromes, and fatigue. In therapy, the method is needed for a general strengthening effect, it helps relieve lower back pain, and complements the complex treatment of burns.
