• Dr. Brian Kinney on Endermologie – Cellulite Treatment

    Endermologie – Cellulite Treatment weight lossThe fight against cellulite is one almost every woman can relate to.  There are many claims about new miracle lasers, radio waves, ultrasound, diets, supplements, creams, potions and lotions, that say they can improve the appearance of cellulite, but few, if any work.  In the late 1990’s Endermologie was the first medical treatment cleared by the FDA for marketing for the “temporary improvement in the appearance of cellulite.” It was the original, the gold standard and was alone in the marketplace for a bit less than ten years.  All other treatment options came post-2006.  To date, other technologies like laser, radio waves or ultrasound to the computerized suction-roller concept have been added to the list.

    Aside from Endermologie, none of these treatments have been formally studied in the pre-marketing approval (PMA) process of the FDA.

    Patients like Endermologie.  If doctors properly set their client’s expectations and a miracle cure is not promised, satisfaction rates are typically 80-95%.  Dr. Brian Kinney likes this technology, too.  Dr. Brian Kinney M.D. recommends this procedure to his clients in several circumstances:

    1) Pre- and post-operative “cosmetic physical therapy” following liposuction, facelifts, breast surgery and others
    2) To soften and subjectively improve scars from old or recent surgery
    3) To remove fluid from swollen tissues and to massage the lymphatic drainage channels
    4) To firm and tone the connective tissue in and just under the skin.

    Endermologie is a valuable part of the overall package of firming, toning, reducing swelling, speeding recovery after surgery, softening scarred or healing tissues and temporarily improving the appearance of cellulite.

    In Doctor Brian Kinney’s experience, patients tend to heal a bit faster, have less swelling and pain, and the tissues smooth and firm better when the treatment is post surgery rather than on old scars.  Depending on the plastic surgeon, some doctors charge for Endermologie after surgery, and some do not.  For soft scars, it works well and often rapidly within a few weeks.  For old scars, it has a lower chance of being effective and takes longer, but it’s worth a short trial.

    The ability for Endermologie to drain lymphatic fluids has been proven in several rigorous scientific studies.  Brian Kinney M.D. and others see Endermologie work very well in this setting.  Firming and toning the connective tissue helps to improve cellulite and this is the most challenging goal.  It is achieved temporarily in more than ¾ of patients.  However, once or twice a month maintenance procedures, combined with proper diet, exercise, and nutrition to maintain proper weight are required for maximum results.  According to Doctor Brian M. Kinney, if patients actively participate in the process, the results will be better and the patient will be more satisfied with the outcome.
