This article describes what collagen is and how age affects our skin.
I often talk to my clients about what happens with collagen and ageing. And, although I have a feeling I’ve shared this before, I held onto the link because it’s one of the best articles I’ve read that describes what collagen is, how it affects skin tone and elasticity, and how its depreciation as we age affects our skin. It’s a handy one to keep on file for when you have 5 mins to delve deeper.

This excerpt from the LPG โManagement of endometriosis with endermologieยฎโ seminar answers “WHAT IS ENDOMETRIOSIS?”

Excerpt from the LPG โManagement of endometriosis with endermologieยฎโ seminar.
WHAT IS ENDOMETRIOSIS?
โข Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory gynaecological disease.
โข In a normal cycle, each month cells react in the same way to those in the womb. Building up and breaking down and bleeding.
โข In endometriosis the cells similar to those lining the womb are found elsewhere in the body: ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other pelvic organs.
โข The blood (displaced tissue) has no way to escape but returns to back to the body and gets trapped.
โข This causes inflammation, pain, formation of scar tissue and adhesions.
โข The cause of endometriosis is unknown and there is no definite cure.
Watch this space to learn how Endermologie can help manage the symptoms of Endometriosis.
Endometriosis metrics: Endo is suggested to affect 1.5 million women, with many women still waiting years before an accurate diagnosis.

Endometriosis metrics
Although Endometriosis was first discussed in medical journals in 1690 (Dr Daniel Shroen), it took another 300 years before the condition was more fully understood and the name endometriosis was coined. However advances in the treatment of endo didnโt really happen until the 1980s when laparoscopic surgery became available.
Itโs still a long way from being a perfect diagnostic pathway, however, with many women still waiting years before an accurate diagnosis.
Non-invasive Endermologie reduces the pain and inflammation associated with endometriosis.
Wonder how Endermologie for endometriosis works? The following slides explain how the non-invasive Endermologie massage can have a much deeper effect than surface level. Hence reducing the pain and inflammation associated with #endometriosis.

Perimenopause or โreversing out of pubertyโ by Dr Carrie Jones. Donโt get caught off guard and think youโre going crazy! Itโs perimenopause!
Following on from the last few weeks discussing endometriosis, Iโve decided to continue looking at womenโs health for a little longer, this time tackling menopause and perimenopause.
Iโve collated a load of fabulous resources so will post directly from these so you can go follow and learn more.
This post from @dr.carriejones discusses โPerimenopause or โreversing out of pubertyโ which means literal reversing. Things that used to work in favour of reproduction are not now.
And this affects your brain state. Your hormones, particularly estradiol (a type of estrogen) is required by many parts of your brain! The decline of those hormones creates all those Brain symptoms. ![]()
Not to mention affecting other health aspects of you like blood sugar and bone health.
A single Instagram post isnโt the same as a full visit and plan with your practitioner but swipe through to get ideas! ![]()

Perimenopause and menopause Dr Mary Claire discusses the very real effects of these hormonal changes in women’s lives.
Reposted with thanks to @drmaryclaire
What breaks my heart the most in my journey to learn about perimenopause and menopause is how many hoops the average person must jump through to get qualified care. We deserve so much more than outdated guidelines, under-education of our providers, and the societal dismissal of our symptoms as psychological. Keep the conversation going and look at the resources we have available to you at the link in Dr Mary Claire’s BIO.




Considering a cosmetic procedure? Make sure you know who’s doing it and do your due diligence first. It could save your life.
I’ve said it before and I’ll no doubt say it many, many times again. Please don’t undertake any procedure, even if it’s marketed as non-invasive or harmless, without doing your research first. The consequences of poor and uneducated treatment/practitioner choices aren’t usually fatal, but can lead to life-altering side-effects.

Oestrogen & weight gain in menopause coupled with less movement, processed diet & stress,can keep the abdominal weight expanding.

A grounded, compassionate look at a time of profound transition
Perimenopause is not just a hormonal shift – itโs a whole mind-body recalibration.
For many women, this phase brings changes in energy, mood, sleep, skin, body composition and how we feel in our bodies day-to-day. It can also be a time of feeling disconnected from ourselves, uncertain about whatโs normal, and overwhelmed by advice that swings between denial and crisis.
Whatโs often missing is a calm, evidence-informed explanation.
Not fear. Not minimisation.
Just clarity – and support that feels respectful rather than corrective.
What is perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional period before menopause, typically beginning in the mid-40s (but sometimes earlier or later). During this time, our reproductive hormones oestrogen and progesterone (and testosterone) fluctuate unpredictably, and these hormonal changes affect multiple systems including:
- Circulation & lymphatic flow
- Connective tissue strength & collagen production
- Sleep regulation & nervous system balance
- Metabolism and fat distribution
- Inflammation and fluid retention
- Temperature regulation
- Mood and cognitive function
These shifts areย physiologicalย – not psychological, not cosmetic, and not something to โpush throughโ or โfixโ.
Common physical changes women report
Many women describe noticing changes such as:
- Increased fluid retention and puffiness
- Heaviness through the legs, hips or lower abdomen
- Softer skin tone or changes in texture
- A more pronounced appearance of cellulite or dimpling (even if weight is stable)
- Increased sensitivity to alcohol, stress or poor sleep
- Skin sensitivity and irritability
- Sudden, unexplained changes in shape and where weight sits
These changes are driven primarily by:
- Fluctuating oestrogen affecting microcirculation & lymphatic flow
- Reduced collagen synthesis leading to looser connective tissue support
- Increased inflammation and nervous-system hyper-arousal
- Sleep disturbance affecting repair and metabolic regulation
None of this means anything is wrong with you.
It means your biology is adapting.
Where Endermologie can help
While nothing replaces healthy movement, nourishment, sleep and medical support when required, Endermologie offers therapeutic assistance in managing the physical symptoms that feel disruptive.
Endermologieโs gentle mechanical stimulation has been shown to:
- Improve circulation and oxygen delivery to tissuesยน
- Encourage lymphatic flow and reduce swelling or puffinessยฒ
- Support collagen and elastin activity, improving tone & tissue resilienceยณ
- Release restrictions in fascia to support comfort and mobilityโด
- Reduce sensations of heaviness or congestionยฒ
- Promote nervous-system calming through parasympathetic activationโต
Clients often describe feeling:
โlighter, clearer, less inflamed and more connected to themselves.โ
For many women, the relief is as emotional as it is physical – a sense ofย coming back intoย their body rather than fighting against it.
Why cellulite often becomes more visible during perimenopause
Many women are surprised (and frustrated) when dimpling becomes more noticeable, even if weight hasnโt changed and despite exercising and eating well.
This happens because declining and fluctuating oestrogen affects:
- Microcirculationย – slowing blood flow to the skin and underlying tissues
- Lymphatic drainageย – reducing the ability to move excess fluid efficiently
- Collagen & elastin productionย – weakening the connective tissue structure
- Fascia flexibilityย – making tissue feel tighter or more restricted
When circulation slows and lymphatic congestion increases, the fat cells beneath the skin can swell temporarily with retained fluid – while the connective bands (septa) stiffen. This combination makesย skin texture changes more visible, particularly over the thighs, hips, buttocks and abdomen.
This is not a sign that the body is failing, or that effort is lacking – itโs simply physiology responding to hormonal shifts.
The emotional side of body change
Many women say they feel like they โwake up in a different bodyโ – one that reacts differently to stress, food, exercise, sleep or medication. It can feel unsettling and even grief-laden.
Common sentiments include:
- โI donโt recognise myself.โ
- โNothing I used to do works anymore.โ
- โI feel puffy all the time.โ
- โI used to feel strong – now everything feels harder.โ
Whatโs important to know:
Youโre not alone
Youโre not doing anything wrong.
And you do not need to push harder – you need support.
The nervous system plays a critical role here.
When hormonal instability increases stress sensitivity, the body shifts into sympathetic dominance (fight-or-flight), which increases inflammation and fluid retention.
This is where gentle, nourishing treatments can help restore balance.
How Endermologie supports perimenopausal body changes
Endermologie can provide support that complements your bodyโs natural repair systems without force or trauma.
Endermologie’s mechanical stimulation has been shown to:
- Improve circulation and oxygen delivery to tissues (+400%)ยน
- Increase lymphatic flow and encourage fluid movement (+300%)ยฒ
- Reduce swelling and feelings of heavinessยฒ
- Support collagen and elastin activity for skin tone & firmnessยณ
- Improve mobility, lightness and comfort after treatmentโต
- Support nervous-system calming through parasympathetic activationโถ
Together, these effects help tissues function more effectively and feel less congested or compressed, which in turn supports smoother skin and improved comfort.
How it feels
Most clients describe Endermologie treatments as:
relaxing, rhythmic, restorative – truly nourishing
Many notice:
- Feeling lighter and less puffy
- Reduction in bloating & heaviness
- Softer, smoother skin
- Improved sleep & clarity
- A deep sense of nervous-system rest
Realistic expectations
The goal isย not perfection, erasing cellulite or reversing ageing.
The goal isย co-operation with your body, not control.
A realistic outcome is:
- Gradual smoothing over time
- Less puffiness and fluid retention
- More comfortable mobility
- Feeling more at home in your body
An unrealistic outcome is:
- One treatment that changes everything
- A complete and permanent reversal of symptoms
- A pressure-based transformation
Change unfolds through gradual support, not urgency.
When to begin treatment
Most women benefit from beginning treatment when they first notice:
- Increasing fluid retention
- More visible dimpling or uneven texture
- Increased heaviness in the legs or abdomen
- Sleep disruption or nervous-system fatigue
- Feeling disconnected from their body
Many find thatย regular weekly or fortnightly sessionsย help stabilise comfort, confidence and wellbeing during hormonal transition.
A gentler way to support yourself
Perimenopause is a profound transition, and you deserve care that honours that.
No shame. No pressure.
Just support, clarity and trust in your body.
If youโre curious, youโre welcome to book a Consultation & Discovery Session โ an unrushed conversation about your goals and what support could feel good for you.
With warmth,
Niamh x

Read on for more info about neck tightening treatments.

I’ve spoken with a few people recently about their options for neck-tightening treatments. Here’s a quick summary. Feel free to DM if you want to know more about any of these options and I can help talk you through them.
At home:ย
Retinol
Prescription-strength retinoids e.g. tretinoin (aka โVitamin Aโ), will increase the turnover of your skin cells, exfoliating your skin and signals an increase in your endogenous collagen production. It can take some people a while to build up a tolerance to the product, so itโs best to start with a once or twice-a-week application, taking care to avoid the eyes and the corner of the nostrils and mouth where a product build-up could cause irritation. Skin must be protected from sun as itโs likely to be more photosensitive during treatment, and therefore likely to cause hyper- or hypopigmentation.
Micro-needling
Using a derma roller, micro-needling pen or derma stamp creates tiny injuries to your skinโs surface, stimulating a healing response to create more collagen and elastin. Care must be taken to ensure the skin and equipment are sterile otherwise there is a high risk of infection which could lead to scarring. Can be done every 4 โ 6 weeks, assuming the skin is healthy.
In-patient procedure:
Surgery
Since last year, if you are considering cosmetic surgery, you must first get a referral from your GP. You should make sure your Cosmetic Surgeon is certified by The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS). Neck lift surgery is usually performed in a hospital under general anaesthesia. The surgery involves making small incisions on the skin at the top of your neck where the skin is tightened through plastic sutures, usually hidden in the hairline. More extensive surgery can involve removing excess fat and skin.ย
Post-op swelling, bruising and pain are common, and many surgeons recommend wearing a compression garment in the days and/or weeks post-op. It takes 3 to 6 months before the scars become less visible and swelling is much reduced (although 12 months for full healing).
In salon:
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections or with needling (aka โVampireโ facial)
For a PRP treatment, the patient gives a blood sample and that blood is spun in a machine (centrifuge) to separate out the platelets. The platelets are the blood cells that respond to injuries to begin the healing cycle, wound clotting, inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling. Injecting platelets into the skin will boost collagen and elastin production with minimal side effects (temporary bruising and swelling). Some people will choose to apply the platelets after a microneedling treatment to stimulate a faster healing response.
Muscle relaxants (โbotoxโ)
Qualified injectors will insert Botox into the neck (platysma muscles), along the lower jawline and sometimes along the wrinkle lines on the neck. This helps to ease the downward pull and over time can lead to less wrinkle development. Can be done every 3 to 4 months (depending on dosage). There are minimal side effects other than those usually associated with injections, e.g. mild bruising, swelling or infection (or allergic reaction).ย
Hylauronic acid (HA) injections (โProfhiloโ)
High-strength hyaluronic acid is injected into the skin in several areas where it disperses and boosts water retention in the deeper layers of the skin. Over time itโs thought to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Often requires 2 โ 3 treatments and results are expected to last for approximately 6 months. Again, like botox, there are minimal side effects, e.g. mild bruising, swelling or infection (or allergic reaction).ย
Threadlift/ PDO threads
Threads and/or PDO (polydioxanone) threads are inserted into the skin using long needles. Threads may not absorb into the skin over time, whereas PDO threads will usually absorb. This treatment works by creating scar tissue (thicker collagen fibres) around the inserted threads that will lift and tighten the skin. Usually carried out every 2 years. Side effects are usually mild, pain, bruising and swelling. However, can also cause infection, abscesses, dimpling, granulomas, and movement of the threads to the skinโs surface, causing pulling on the skin.
Laserย
Laserย Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) treatments can be ablative (will cause damage skin surface) or non-ablative (penetrates the skin without surface damage) depending on the wavelength. An ablative laser causes surface trauma to create a healing response and stimulate collagen production and will usually tighten skin and reduce surface pigmentation. This requires some downtime (depends on treatment depth/area etc) and there is a risk of infection as the skin heals. Results last for years with good sun-protection.ย
Non-ablative laser treatments will create heat in the deeper skin layers to stimulate collagen and will take longer to see results. Usually requiring treatments every month for approx. 4 โ 8 months, with touch-ups every few months. Any treatments that generate heat in the skin, there is still a risk of burn/pigmentation changes etc.ย
Ultrasound
Ultrasound treatments such as โUltherapyโ or HIFU (High-Intensity Frequency Ultrasound) deliver micro-focused ultrasonic energy into the deeper skin layers to create a tightening/contraction of the connective tissues. Billed as a non-invasive treatment, it should only have mild side-effects such as redness, heat, tingling and tenderness for a few hours after the treatment. However, some patients have experienced burns, fat atrophy (i.e. damage to underlying fat causing a sunken/pulling or sagging effect) and nerve damage. Results are typically seen within 3 months and last approximately 1-2 years.
Radiofrequency (RF)
RF uses low-frequency electromagnetic waves to penetrate into deeper skin layers to generate heat that stimulates the regeneration of collagen and elastin fibres. Like ultrasound, RF is considered non-invasive and should only cause temporary redness and swelling after the procedure. However, it too can cause burns, fat atrophy and nerve damage. Usually requires 3 โ 5 treatments every 3-4 weeks with quarterly maintenance sessions.
Radiofrequency with micro-needling
A device which uses a combination of RF and micro-needling. Said to improve the outcome of both treatments.ย
Peelsย
There are three fundamental types of peels that work at different layers of the skin; superficial, medium and deep. Whether itโs a mandelic acid, milk, glycolic, jessner, trichloroacetic acid etc, they all do one job, strip the surface layers of skin to stimulate cell regeneration and leave newer skin exposed. However, they can cause burn-like injuries and with every peel you risk destroying the skinโs microbiome which can lead to issues further down the track.
Endermologie
Endermologie has been proven to stimulate the fibroblasts โ aka the cells responsible for collagen growth, as well as stimulating your endogenous production of elastin and hyaluronic acid. As a truly non-invasive, zero-risk treatment, the results are gradual.ย
Other things to note. Sun protection is a must! Keep the skin hydrated and focus on maintaining overall good health, i.e. eat a balanced, healthy diet that supports a healthy gut, get plenty of rest, reduce stress, drink plenty of water and supplement with vitamins and minerals if theyโre lacking in your diet or your gutโs not working as it should. A GP/Naturopath can help you discover and correct any deficiencies.

Just because somethingโs advertised as non-invasive doesnโt mean itโs safe.
Just because somethingโs advertised as non-invasive doesnโt mean itโs safe. Anything that penetrates the skin or causes damage, even on a surface level, can cause side effects.
Plasma pens were launched to market at a low cost and manufacturers advised that no prior experience was necessary. That raises major alarm bells!!
Skin can be fantastically resilient, but in inexperienced hands, treatments like these can cause permanent damage.








Reposted with thanks to @drimaanjoshi “Really disheartening & distressing to see these reported on the regular.
– procedural work, especially if it involves prescription medication or heats up or breaks the skin, carries risk.
– low risk, in experienced and qualified hands, is not NO risk.
– people are often lured by low prices but as I discussed twice today in clinic, low prices are often a
. The more experienced and qualified, the more in demand and the higher the fees (usually).
We all have to start somewhere but ideally that ought to be with supervision & oversight not a โsee one, do one teach oneโ approach.
Skin is delicate and in the wrong hands so much could go wrong!
I get asked plasma pen ( this treatment
) regularly & I just say โdonโt do it.โ
If you need surgery, you need surgery.
Doing nothing is *better* than something done badly by someone inexperienced that causes harm.
A patient said today โI want to pay good money, Iโm not one to look for bargains.โ And I said โI want treatment to be reassuringly expensive, and Iโd rather wait till I can afford it than cut corners.โ
Iโll get off my soapbox now.”

Semaglutide (aka OZEMPIC) is associated with non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy among patients with type 2 diabetes and those with overweight or obesity, according to a US study in JAMA Ophthalmology.
This condition typically causes sudden vision loss in the affected eye, without any pain.
Harvard University-led researchers examined the potential association between semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy) and the risk for non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in a retrospective matched cohort study.
Lead researcher Dr Joseph Rizzo said that the findings โshould be viewed as being significant but tentativeโ pending further investigations.
โThis is information we did not have before and it should be included in discussions between patients and their doctors, especially if patients have other known optic nerve problems like glaucoma or if there is preexisting significant visual loss from other causes,โ he said.

Thanks to @endermospauk for sharing this article from #portermagazine
LPG Endermologie featured in Net-a-Porter magazine
as the go-to treatment to improve your lymphatic system. Having a properly functioning lymphatic system is incredibly important for various reasons. While you may be familiar with the visible signs of a sluggish lymphatic system, such as a puffy face, swollen limbs, and cellulite, there are also underlying health issues to consider that are not immediately visible, including digestive and immune issues.
Lymphatic drainage has gained popularity as a body-detoxifying treatment of choice this summer,
with celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Sofia Richie, and Hailey Bieber being avid fans. The lymphatic system, also known as the lymph, is a network of tissues and organs that help eliminate toxins and waste from the body.
If the lymph is not regularly drained through movement and massage, it can become sluggish, leading to water
retention, cellulite, poor blood circulation, acne, and even more serious health problems like a weakened immune system and inflammatory issues.
In summary, maintaining a healthy lymphatic system is essential for overall well-being and can have a significant impact on both visible and invisible aspects of our health.

This is a great read about why it’s so important to look after your skin – all of it – not just the bit on your face, because skin impacts health & longevity.
Endermologie is scientifically proven to boost your own natural collagen (collagen makes up the main structure of your skin – no confusing supplements required), as well as elastin (for bouncy, more elastic skin tone) and hyaluronic acid (the hydration/water molecule in your skin that keeps it moisturised). So, if you want to improve the look of your skin and achieve overall better health, you should really consider Endermologie.

Click on the image or the link below to read the full article. If you’re short on time, here’s a quick excerpt: “Growing evidence suggests that damage to the skin can have knock-on effects for the rest of the body, drivingย inflammation, muscle and bone loss, and possibly evenย cognitive decline. The more your skin deteriorates, the more the rest of you ages prematurely. In this emerging view, your skin doesnโt just reflect signs of ageing โย itโs a contributing factor. There is even tentative evidence that taking better care of our skin could slow the harmful effects of ageing and improve our overall health.”
This is good to know. The 4 symptoms of ovarian cancer to look out for:
– persistent abdominal distension (bloating)
– feeling full shortly after starting to eat and/or loss of appetite
– pelvic or abdominal pain (which can feel like indigestion)
– needing to urinate urgently or more often.

Click on the image, or the link below to read the full article. If you’re short on time, here’s an excerpt: “The study indicates this process is better at detecting ovarian cancer than general screening of people who donโt have symptoms. Some 12% of women on the fast-track pathway were diagnosed with some kind of ovarian cancer.
A total of 6.8% of fast-tracked patients were diagnosed with high-grade serous ovarian cancer. It is the most aggressive form of cancer and responsible for 90% of ovarian cancer deaths.
Out of those women with the most aggressive form, one in four were diagnosed when the cancer was still in its early stages. That is important because it allowed treatment of the most lethal cancer before it had spread significantly through the body.
There were some promising signs in treating those with this aggressive form. The majority (95%) had surgery and three quarters (77%) had chemotherapy. Complete cytoreduction โ meaning all of the cancer appears to have been removed โ was achieved in six women out of ten (61%).ย
Itโs a promising sign that there may be ways to โcatchโ and target ovarian cancer before it is well-established in the body.”
Thanks to @dochiclinic for this excellent post describing how sluggish lymph can be debilitating to your health. The most common reason many clients come to see me is to shift the stubborn fat or cellulite thatโs been building up – and when the relief of these symptoms happen after a course of treatments, itโs a very happy bonus!
But if youโre struggling with any or all of these symptoms, then why not try a course of Endermologie? Itโs a risk-free, relaxing mechanical massage thatโs been scientifically proven to be to 3 x faster and 3 x more effective than manual lymphatic massage.

You’ve all heard me say it before, but weightlifting (aka strength training) is ESSENTIAL for women, of all ages. Click on the image to follow the link to the article and learn how strength training benefits women of all ages.
If you’re short on time, here’s an excerpt:
“Health benefits
Osteoporosis, a disease in which the bones become weak and brittle, affects more women than men. Strength training increasesย bone density, a crucial factor forย preventing osteoporosis, especially for women negotiating menopause. Strength training also improvesย insulin sensitivity, which means your body gets better at using insulin to manage blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. Regular strength training contributes to betterย heart healthย too.ย
Thereโs a mental health boost as well. Strength training has been linked to reduced symptoms ofย depressionย andย anxiety.
Improved confidence and body image
Unlike some forms of exercise where progress can feel elusive, strength training offers clear and tangible measures of success. Each time you add more weight to a bar, you are reminded of your ability to meet your goals andย conquer challenges.ย
This sense of achievement doesnโt just stay in the gym โ it can change how women see themselves. Aย recent studyย found women who regularly lift weights often feel more empowered to make positive changes in their lives and feel ready to face lifeโs challenges outside the gym.
Strength training also has the potential to positively impactย body image. In a world where women are often judged on appearance, lifting weights can shift the focusย to function.”

A gentle approach to change, comfort and confidence
GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Monjaro (and compounded semaglutide) are becoming increasingly common as tools to support weight loss and metabolic health. For many people, they offer an important step toward improved wellbeing. But alongside the benefits, they can also create unexpected changes in how the body feels and looks. Especially relating to skin tone, shape and fluid balance.
These changes are normal and very common, but are sometimes not discussed openly. All too often, the focus is on the amount of weight lost – but I believe that how youย feel in your bodyย during that process matters just as much.
This article explores why these changes happen. And how Endermologie can gently support comfort, vitality and confidence throughout the experience.
Why GLP-1 weight-loss can affect skin, shape and fluid balance
Rapid weight change – whether from medication, surgery, illness or dieting – creates shifts in:
- Skin tone and firmness
- Body contour and shape distribution
- Fluid retention or swelling
- Circulation and lymphatic flow
- Fat volume and positioning
- Connective tissue tension and discomfort
When weight reduces faster than the skin and fascia can adjust, the result can be:
- Skin laxity or looseness
- Increased visibility of cellulite dimpling
- Puffiness or swelling in certain areas
- Uneven shape contours
- Heaviness or stiffness in the tissue
Why supporting circulation and lymphatics matters
Healthy tissue relies on good microcirculation. When blood flow and lymphatic drainage slow down, the body may hold fluid, toxins and metabolic waste. This creates swelling, discomfort and a feeling of heaviness.
Endermologie supports your blood and lymphatic circulation by:
- Improving blood circulation and oxygenation of tissuesยน
- Encouraging lymphatic flow to reduce swellingยฒ
- Mobilising fascia for better tissue movementยณ
- Supporting collagen and elastin activity for skin firmnessโด
- Reducing feelings of tightness, congestion and discomfortยณ
These benefits make adjusting to weightloss more comfortable and often lead to improved confidence in the outcome.
Why Endermologie works well during GLP-1 treatment
Endermologie is gentle, non-invasive and respects the tissue rather than forcing rapid change. It can be safely combined with medication and offers support throughout the process.
Clients often notice:
- Feeling lighter and less puffy
- Improved shape contouring and skin texture
- More comfortable movement and posture
- Better confidence during change rather than waiting for โafterโ
- A sense of connection back into their body
What realistic improvement looks like
A realistic outcome is:
- Smoother, firmer skin over time
- Softening of dimples and texture
- More definition in targeted areas, for example, through the waist, thighs or arms
- Less puffiness and fluid retention
- Increased comfort and wellbeing
An unrealistic expectation is:
- Erasing loose skin instantly
- Changing the shape of the body in a single session
- Replacing the need for healthy movement, strength training and nutrition
The aim is to work with your body – not push it beyond capacity.
An integrative approach
For the best results, a supportive structure often includes:
- Moderate strength training for muscle preservation
- Gentle movement like walking or Pilates for circulation
- Hydration to support lymphatic flow
- Protein-rich, nourishing nutrition
- Rest and recovery for hormonal balance
- Regular Endermologie for flow & tissue quality
Small, consistent steps go further than perfection.

The Lamalou-les-Bains Rehabilitation and Functional Rehabilitation Clinic in France has a CELLU M6 Allianceยฎ to contribute to better healing and better joint AND tissue mobility of its patients ![]()
After surgery, a burn, or trauma, the skin heals by producing collagen at the site of the wound. In some cases, this natural process can result in fibrotic tissues and adhesions which create a real barrier within the skin, hindering exchanges between cells.
Beyond its appearance, the scar can cause functional disorders, for example limiting joint ranges, causing pain or disrupting the functioning of certain organs.
The draining and de-fibrosing properties of the medical endermologieยฎ technique allow early and painless intervention on scars and burn after-effects.

Thanks to @surgery_recovery_ for sharing this patientโs experience with pre-op Endermologie.
We know about the benefits of Post Surgery Endermologie in ensuring the lymphatic system is working at its best for faster recovery, but did you know if you have Endermologie PRIOR to surgery you will have far less bruising & pain because of it?!
We prep the skin and underlying tissue, smoothing the fibrous tissue around the fat cells making it easier for the surgeon to remove the fat during liposuction and causing less trauma to your skin. This results in a faster recovery with less complications from fibrosis, swelling and bruising.
For optimal results we recommend having regular Endermologie sessions 4-6 weeks prior to your surgery.

High-performance bodies – whether professional athletes, dedicated CrossFitters, runners, cyclists, swimmers or weekend warriors – rely on high-quality recovery. Progress doesnโt happen during the workout itself, but in the hours and daysย afterย training, when tissues repair, inflammation settles, and the nervous system shifts back into balance.
When recovery is inefficient, the result is familiar:
- persistent DOMS
- stiffness and restricted range
- inflammation and fluid retention
- slower progress and interrupted training blocks
- plateaus, fatigue or injury risk
- nervous-system overload
Endermologie provides a powerful yet gentle recovery tool that supports the physiological processes that athletes depend on – without aggressive manual force or painful techniques.
Why recovery matters
Training creates controlled micro-damage to muscular, fascial and connective tissue structures. This is essential – itโs how the body adapts and becomes stronger. But the body can only rebuild if there is:
- efficient clearance of metabolic waste
- oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues
- restored mobility and glide between layers
- nervous-system parasympathetic activation (restโrepair state)
If inflammation and fluid congestion linger, repair is slow and incomplete. This increases the likelihood of ongoing pain, reduced performance output and biomechanical compensation.
Recovery is not a luxury.
It is a performance tool.
How Endermologie supports athletic recovery
Endermologie uses mechanical stimulation to mobilise fascia and soft tissue, helping the body accelerate recovery processes without force or trauma.
Clinically-supported physiological effects include:
- Improved circulation & oxygen delivery to tissuesย (+400%)ยน
- Significantly increased lymphatic flow and removal of metabolic wasteย (+300%)ยฒ
- Reduced swelling, heaviness and inflammatory congestionยฒ
- Enhanced fascial glide & mobility for better movement qualityยณ
- Reduced sensations of muscular stiffness, tightness and discomfortโต
- Improved nervous-system balance and recoveryย via parasympathetic activationโถ
For athletes, this means:
- faster between-session turnaround
- better range of motion and fluidity
- less post-training soreness
- reduced risk of chronic tension and overuse injury
- more efficiency in strength, power and endurance cycles
The fascia advantage
Modern performance science now recognises fascia as the foundation of movement efficiency, power transfer and injury resilience. When fascia is stiff, dehydrated or ‘glued’ down, more energy is wasted and performance drops.
Endermologie mechanically mobilises fascia, supporting:
- improved elasticity and glide
- reduced adhesions and restrictions
- improved neuromuscular coordination
- greater ease & fluidity in movement
- muscle firing efficiency and technique consistency
Athletes often report feeling:
โlighter, looser, faster and more switched onโ
Nervous-system recovery
High-intensity training elevates sympathetic โfight or flightโ activity. Without down-regulation, the body struggles to repair or adapt. This contributes to sleep disruption, chronic soreness, plateauing performance and emotional fatigue.
Research on theย VSS protocol (Vitality, Stress & Sleep)ย demonstrates Endermologieโs ability to:
- calm sympathetic nervous system activation
- improve sleep quality and cognitive recoveryโถ
- support immune system resilience
Who itโs ideal for
Endermologie is supportive for:
- CrossFit and functional strength athletes
- Runners, cyclists, swimmers & triathletes
- Rowers & field athletes
- Reformer and barre practitioners
- Strength & conditioning programs
- Masters athletes (40+)
- Anyone balancing high training loads with work, life & stress
It is also ideal:
- in competition blocksย to maintain consistent output
- during rehabย to support tissue mobility and swelling
- post-competitionย for accelerating recovery
What to expect
Most athletes feel:
- lighter legs
- improved mobility
- reduced soreness
- improved sleep
- reduced nervous-system tension
Treatment rhythm
- 1โ2 sessions per weekย during high training load
- Maintenance when it suits the individual
- Focused blocksย pre-competition or heavy lifting phases
What this is NOT
- Not aggressive, painful or forceful deep tissue
- Not a replacement for conditioning, mobility or technique work
- Not a quick fix – progress builds with rhythm
This is a performance strategy.
The gentler way to perform better
When the body feels safe, supported it performs at a higher level.
Not tight, overloaded or braced.
If youโd like to experience the difference real recovery can make:
Book a Consultation & Discovery Session โ
A thoughtful, unrushed conversation about your goals, training demands and ideal support rhythm.

A gentle, biologically intelligent approach to facial rejuvenation
In a world where skin is often stretched, frozen, burned, ablated or injected in pursuit of youth, it can feel refreshing – and relieving – to discover a gentler path.
Face Endermologie (also known as Endermoliftยฎ) is a natural, non-invasive technique that respects skin and stimulates its intrinsic regenerative capabilities. Instead of forcing rapid change through heat, needles or trauma, it worksย withย your skin to restore radiance, firmness, hydration and vitality from within.
Why choose a natural approach to facial ageing?
As we age, our skin naturally becomes thinner, less elastic and more fragile due to changes in:
- Collagen (strength and firmness)
- Elastin (suppleness and flexibility)
- Hyaluronic acid (hydration and plumpness)
- Microcirculation and lymphatic flow
- Cellular turnover
- Inflammation and oxidative stress
Face Endermologie supports these systems without damaging the skin barrier, triggering inflammation or creating artificial volume.
Itโs not about looking younger or unnatural.
Itโs about lookingย well,ย rested,ย liftedย andย radiantly yourself.
The science behind Face Endermologie
Using patentedย mechanostimulationโข, the treatment head gently and rhythmically lifts the skin, creating mechanical micro-pulses that activate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
Independent clinical studies demonstrate that this process can:
Clinically proven outcomes
(Humbert P. et al. Clin Interv Aging. 2015)
| Skin Improvement | Clinical Result |
|---|---|
| Wrinkle reduction | โ87% |
| Natural hyaluronic acid production | +80% |
| Skin firmness | +70% |
| Radiance / luminosity | x2 natural glow |
Face Endermologie is the only technique proven to:
- Increase natural hyaluronic acid production (for natural plumping & hydration)
- Boost elastin (supple, lifted skin)
- Stimulate collagen (support & firmness)
Not by forcing change – but by awakening natural cellular function.
What Face Endermologie helps to improve
- Skin firmness and tone
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Under-eye puffiness & dark circles
- Jowls and sagging around jawline
- Fluid or fat build up under the chin
- Dull, congested or stressed skin
- Tension in the jaw, face and neck
- Nervous-system overload and facial holding patterns
A natural alternative to aggressive interventions
Unlike heat or cold- based devices, injectables, threads, peels or ablation techniques, Face Endermologie:
โ Respects the integrity of the skin
โ Does not induce trauma or inflammation
โ Hasย no downtimeย or side effects
โ Looks natural, not artificial
โ Supports long-term skin health
โ Works cumulatively, not suddenly
It is ideal for those who:
- Want visible improvement without looking altered
- Prefer an evidence-informed holistic approach
- Have sensitivity, inflammation or barrier dysfunction
- Are not suitable for heat/needle-based procedures
- Want long-term regenerative change
It is also supportiveย between or alongsideย other therapies.
What to expect from treatment
Face Endermologie feels like a rhythmic lifting massage – gentle and deeply relaxing.
Most clients say their skin feels lifted and boosted immediately after.
Treatment rhythm:
- 1โ2 sessions per week initially
- Then every 3โ4 weeks for maintenance
- Gradual, progressive changes over time
This is not a quick fix – it’s an investment in your skin’s health.
A softer philosophy
Beautiful skin is healthy skin.
Cared for, nourished and respected.

Carrying on the theme of โso much more than just getting rid of celluliteโโฆdid you know that Endermologie is clinically proven to help relieve the symptoms of endometriosis?
In one short treatment, youโll feel less bloated and pain will be reduced. Over the course of treatments, weโll relieve any adhesions and much of the inflammation.
So if youโre struggling with endo, book in now to see how Endermologie can help you.




I’ve seen this play out many times over the years – even post-liposuction. That’s why I always emphasise maintenance for my body contouring clients, along with building muscle and good nutrition.
Click on the image or link posted below to read the article. But if you’re stuck for time, here’s an excerpt:
“A new study suggests the seeds of the yo-yo effect are planted when you first suffer obesity.
Researchers fromย ETH Zurichย made this discovery when they went looking for the molecular causes of the yo-yo effect in mice.
To that end, they โanalysed fat cells from overweight mice and those that had shed their excess weight through dietingโ.
What they found was a little creepy: Fat cells stored โmemoriesโ of obesity in their cell nucleus.
These memories remained โeven after a weight-loss program, making it more likely for mice to put the weight back onโ.
Translates to humans
The scientists discovered evidence that similar mechanisms are also present in humans.
Professor Ferdinand von Meyenn is head of the von Meyenn Nutrition and Metabolic Epigenetics Group and co-author of theย new study.
He said:ย โThe fat cells remember the overweight state and can return to this state more easily.โ
He said the mice with these epigenetic markers regained weight more quickly when they again had access to a high-fat diet.
โThat means weโve found a molecular basis for the yo-yo effect.โ

– erythema
– induration
– pain
– loss of joint mobility
– muscle tension
– stiffness and soreness
Lymphatic drainage:
– Accelerates vascularisation
– Assists pain reduction
– Optimises scar healing
– Stimulates collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production
– Stimulates natural lipolysis (fat loss)



OPTIMISING SURGICAL OUTCOMES WITH PRE-SURGERY LPG ENDERMOLOGIEยฎ TREATMENT
Things can get a little weird after surgery. The compression garment combined with swelling Post op can sometimes create folds and indentations in the skin. This can be awfully upsetting for the patient.
Medical endermologieยฎ enables regular and precise drainage, painlessly, for faster and more visible results than with manual drainage. It helps to drain residual liquid and to reduce bruising, to relieve pain and to prevent fibrosis.
In my opinion, and for many top surgeons, a course of pre and post op Endermologie is essential for an excellent outcome.

Iโve had a couple of people reach out to ask what Endermologie protocols they should use for pre and post op (liposuction in particular ).
My answer is always the same – it depends on the individual. Every single person will present with different requirements so itโs vital to be able to perform a thorough assessment along with a medical history of each client.
However, this second slide is a pretty good place to start!
