Treatments range from 10 to 45 minutes of rolling the skin of the hips, thighs, legs, buttocks and stomach. Claims are that endermologie improves fat tissue architecture, lymphatic drainage and capillary circulation. Research on the mechanobiology (the science that integrates mechanics, molecular biology and genetics) of the skin shows that deep mechanical massage will induce changes in the dermis connective tissue (Silver, Siperko, and Seehra, 2003). However, in review of the published research on endermologie, which is minimal, this device does not show meaningful efficacy in the treatment of cellulite (Avram, 2004; Van Vliet, 2005).
