Endermologie Treatments

Endermologie is a non-invasive cellulite treatment using deep massage and suction to “shrink” the fat cells responsible for cellulite. This mechanical massage technique increases blood and oxygen flow to tissue where cellulite resides, theoretically stimulating the metabolism of fat cells in that area. Fluids from the massaged cells are naturally absorbed and removed during urination. This causes the cells to be temporarily reduced in size.

The Endermologie technique originated in France’s plastic surgery community and is FDA-approved for the temporary reduction of cellulite. It is frequently used in combination with traditional liposuction.

What can I expect during an Endermologie treatment?

During an Endermologie treatment, your physician will set a mechanical roller to massage the treatment area. A suction device will pull gently on the massaged skin to smooth and remove cellulite dimpling. While most patients find the sensation — much like that of a deep tissue massage — to be pleasant, patients who are especially sensitive to pain should speak to their physician. The intensity of the massage can be effectively adjusted for your comfort.

It is important to be properly hydrated when undergoing the Endermologie procedure. Drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water should be sufficient, and the same level of hydration should be maintained for several weeks after treatment to help flush out the fluids created by the procedure.

How long does it take?

Endermologie sessions rarely exceed 45 minutes, but there is no down time — at most, you will experience some brief soreness. Most patients will need anywhere from 10 to 20 such sessions to achieve optimal results. As with all cellulite treatments, the effects are temporary — follow-up sessions will need to be scheduled to maintain results.

FAQ

How many sessions before I see results?
The average women will need 14 to 20 treatments to achieve optimal results. Treatments are generally 35 minutes in duration, twice a week. Once a month follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain results.

How long do the results last?
For several months up to a few years, depending on age, lifestyle, and hormonal changes. Once-a-month maintenance sessions are recommended after completion of the initial sessions, which maintains the results and keeps the toxins and abnormal fluid from building back up in the connective tissues.

How long does a session last? Do you just work on my problem areas?
Sessions last an average of 35 minutes. Your problem areas are focused on, but time is given to other areas to stimulate general circulation and elimination.

Does this replace exercise?
No. In fact, it is highly recommended that you add diet and exercise to the routine you follow while undergoing Endermologie ® treatments. In most cases, this improves results. It really works on a different area than exercise ~ which effects the deeper structures, which is why even women who work out often have cellulite

Endermologie Reviews

Thank you Mariette!

When I first decided to try endermologie I went to see Mariette at Soma Body Therapy (owner) without a full understanding of the treatment and results. Mariette sat and explained the treatment process, the expected results, the time frame in which to see the results and my part in the overall process.

We talked for 20 minutes and with absolutely no pressure to purchase a package.

I decided to buy a package and it was a great decision!

I (and my boyfriend) noticed the reduction of cellulite and the “glow” of my skin.

As an added bonus: I have had digestion problems for years and since starting endermologie my “problem” has become regulated (if you know what I mean!)

Soma Body Therapy  “ROCKS”

I had never heard of endermologie until I came to Johannesburg. When I found Mariette. I was blown away with her knowledge of the human body. I have been an athlete my entire life and thankfully have never had a problem with cellulite. However, I have had a problem with water retention. I had a very important photo shoot to get ready for and I went to Mariette and I must say I looked fabulous for my shoot. I was cut and glowing.

Endermologie is amazing. It does more than just rid cellulite, it truly flushes your system and feels amazing while having it done.

Thank you “ Mariette”

The Best!

by Laracante

I loved my experience with Mariette at Soma Body Therapy in Parkhurst. I have suffered with a condition called Thoracic Outlet Syndrome for over 10 years; after being an elite swimmer since the age of five. After years of intense training, I had no circulation pulsing through my left arm, a consequence that ended my swimming career. After years of reaching out for help from Neurologists, Neurosurgeons, physical therapists, and eastern medicine practitioners…

Nothing helped with the return of the circulation to my arm like the feeling I was cons equated with after treatments with Mariette! I truly believe in the pulsating machine that is used during the endermologie session, and also the warm spirit of Mariette, to help heal the body and ease the mind. And, I love that Mariette ’s kindness and keen knowledge of Endermologie has eased my mind during treatment, and expanded my film collection.

I truly had a great experience here

Cheers!!!

Endermologie, also known as lipomassage, is a non-invasive procedure that can help you lose Centimeters and get rid of cellulite. This body contouring procedure feels like a deep tissue massage, and can help to loosen up fatty tissues stored under the skin, improve your skin tone, and also help you lose a few Kilograms and Centimeters.

If you’re already exercising regularly and eating a healthy diet, you may be able to lose a few stubborn Centimeters with a series of Endermologie treamtments.

Set up a consultation with Soma Body Therapy to find out if you may be a good candidate for Endermologie.

Our Endermologie specialist can discuss the pros and cons of this procedure, and create a customized treatment plan that will help you achieve your weight loss goals.

How Endermologie Works

If the skin tissues on your hips, thighs and buttocks have dimples and lumps, or you have very visible patches of cellulite, you could benefit from Endermologie sessions. Endermologie works by increasing circulation to the muscles and tissue fibers deep in the skin’s surface, and also helps to increase collagen production. Both of these effects help to reduce the appearance of dimpled skin, creating a more toned and suppleappearance.

The Endermologie system uses  combination of suction and rollers to increase circulation to the tissues and facilitate the lymphatic system’s natural processes. It can help to strengthen and tone the skin beyond what traditional massage can do. A series of treatments can be effective for tightening and strengthening the skin, and also for eliminating dimple and lumps under the skin’s surface.

Getting Results with Endermologie

Most people need to undergo a series of eight to ten Endermologie sessions in order to see results. These sessions can be spaced out over several weeks, and you will need to make sure you are eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly so that the body can flush out toxins. A light massage with massage oil or body butter before bed can also enhance results with this treatment.

Some of the key things to remember for getting results with Endermologie, include:

• Drinking more water each day to help the body flush out toxins and extra cells
• Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean protein throughout the treatment process
• Working out regularly to sweat out toxins
• Wearing loose-fitting clothing to promote healthy circulation
• Massaging the skin tissues lightly before going to bed
• Avoiding fried foods and sugary foods that can elevate blood sugar levels and cause weight gain

The Endermologie procedure is fairly relaxing and most people report that it feels like a deep-tissue massage. The sessions can last between 45 minutes to an hour, and are performed on an outpatient basis.

What you really need to know about smoothing out your body.

It really does seem like a nasty twist of fate. We women are designed to gain weight on our hips and thighs. It’s what gives us, to quote many men, “curves in all the right places”. However, anywhere between 85 and 95 percent of women end up the downside of those curves: the lumpy, bumpy effect we call cellulite.

Beautiful from the inside

Eating foods rich in nutrients which support the connective tissue can be helpful,” write Patrick Holford and Natalie Savona in their book Solve Your Skin Problems (Piatkus). They recommend upping your intake of foods rich in vitamin C, a nutrient essential for healthy collagen production. If you’re carrying a few extra kilos, losing weight can also help. They do caution, however, that weight loss won’t eradicate the problem. Still, the point is that weight-loss will result in a reduction in dimple depth, and we’re certain you won’t complain about that.

‘There’s little evidence to suggest that the fat in cellulite is any different to the fat anywhere else on your body’

Hit me with your laser beam

While there has been some debate about the efficacy of some cellulite creams, more research is being done into machines. The likes of ultrasound and radio frequency are more able to get to the heart of the matter: fat build-up and the elasticity of the connective tissue. You should note that none of these can cure cellulite. The nature of your skin means that if you have it now, you’ll always be prone to it. However, these treatments can temporarily reduce the appearance and will require long-term maintenance.

Suction massage

This is a non-invasive treatment that uses uses a high-powered suction and roller tool to lift and massage cellulite-affected areas. Treatments like Endermologie work on increasing blood flow and stimulating lymphatic drainage. The latest generation of Endermologie is Lipomassage, which adds isometric exercise to the mix, meaning you play an active role in your treatment. Apparently this cuts down on the number of sessions you need as you could see results in as few as six sessions. You may need six to eight weekly treatments at a cost of around R500 per session.

Mesotherapy

Not a machine treatment, but a popular one nonetheless, Mesotherapy involves injecting an elixir of pharmaceutical or homeopathic medications, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes into the skin. This cocktail is said to help rejuvenate the skin by improving blood flow, removing hardened connective tissue, and improving lymphatic drainage. You’re looking at anything upwards of R700 per session. If you’re carrying a few extra kilos, experts advise that you may need anything from eight to 15 sessions, which could cost up to R1 500 per treatment. Maintenance treatments are recommended every second month, and eventually every six months.

Medical science confirms that reducing body fat doesn’t necessarily mean getting rid of cellulite.  Those stubborn pockets of fat are largely due to genetics, lifestyle and eating habits, and over 80% of women battle cellulite on any given day. 

Cellulite is most pronounced on the outer thighs, buttocks and arms, and can affect any size or shape.  However, there are several ways to reduce the appearance of cellulite and even get rid of those extra fat cells for good.  Here are just five effective ways to lose cellulite in the short and long-term:

1. Endermologie treatments. Endermologie treatments continue to be a popular cellulite reduction procedure at medspas and cosmetic surgery centers across the country, and make use of high-intensity massage to help reshape and tone up the skin. The treatment is designed to break down fatty tissue under the skin’s surface, while the massage can help shuttle away the loose fat cells and improve lymph and blood flow throughout the body. A series of endermologie treatments can then tighten and tone up the skin, soften the tissues and break down fatty deposits that are causing cellulite.

2. Dietary changes. Cellulite can become more obvious when the skin is holding water because of dehydration. Eliminating excess caffeine, sugar, salt and alcohol in the diet can help detoxify the body and bring water levels in balance. This can help reduce the appearance of cellulite and may make it easier to burn off those extra fat cells in the future.

3. Body wraps for cellulite.  Many spas, weight loss centers and aesthetic centers promote ‘anti-cellulite’ body wraps and other body treatments that promise to tighten and tone the skin. These topical treatments can be fairly intensive, and help to detoxify the skin and increase blood circulation. These wraps can provide temporary results as they tighten the skin and deplete the body of extra water; this process can make cellulite less noticeable, and a series of body wraps may help smooth out and tighten the skin.

4. Massage therapy. Vigorous massage treatments can boost circulation and improve skin elasticity. A series of massage treatments also help reduce excess fluids and toxins from the body, making the skin appear firmer, smoother and more resilient. This can reduce the appearance of cellulite and may even make it easier to lose weight.

5. Mesotherapy injections. Mesotherapy is another increasingly popular solution for cellulite, a procedure that does not require any surgery, but one that can break down fatty deposits and help the skin become firmer and smoother with time. Mesotherapy does target actual fat cells, so once they are removed from the body they are gone for good. However, there are several health risks involved with mesotherapy injections, and a series of treatments is required to achieve lasting results.

From body wraps to endermologie treatments, there are several options for getting rid of cellulite. Learn more about cellulite treatments in our information guide, or consult with a cosmetic surgeon in your area for the best treatment plan for your needs.

Losing cellulite

Cellulite is the pet peeve of many women. It usually appears on the bum and thighs, but can also show up on the arms and stomach. Cellulite is diet-resistant and affects the thin as well as the fuller-figured! Here’s our guide to getting rid of it.

What is cellulite?

Cellulite isn’t an illness; it’s just unsightly. It’s linked to hormones and mainly affects women.

It’s a superficial layer of fat underneath the skin that is affected by the size of fat cells (adipocytes), made worse by water retention (bad blood and lymphatic circulation) and fibrosis (change in collagen fibre). There are 3 types of cellulite: cellulite caused by excess fat storage cellulite, caused by collagen dysfunction, and cellulite caused by water retention due to poor circulation.

Causes

Cellulite is the result of a combination of several factors:

- Genetics. Some people have an imbalance between lipolyse (fat mass) and lipogenese (fat storage).

- Hormones. The balance between oestrogen and progesterone regulates the spread of fat in the body, and hormonal change due to puberty, pregnancy and the Pill cause variation.

- Circulation. The poorer your blood and lymphatic circulation, the higher the risk of cellulite.

- Muscle. Muscle tone regulates fat mass.

Solutions

There is no miracle cure for cellulite, but several treatments give good results if they are targeted to your type of cellulite, used in the long term and combined with a healthy lifestyle (low fat diet, regular exercise etc). Here the main ones:

- Mechanical treatments. Endermology or Cellu M6 is a massage machine that gently pinches and rolls the skin. It uses rollers and gentle suction to massage affected areas deep down, accelerating the elimination of toxins and water retention, and releasing the fat back into circulation. Pressotherapy and lymphatic drainage are carried out with a special machine using pulsed air to gradually inflate a pair of boots worn up to the thighs.

- Medical and surgical treatments. Mesotherapy involves injecting cellulite-fighting products beneath the skin. Liposuction is done under anaesthetic and involves sucking out excess fat from beneath the skin.

- Electrotherapy and ultrasonolipolysis. These methods are currently booming. They employ electric currents, ultrasound or infrared through electrodes placed on affected areas or to appliances placed on the skin. They are supposed to increase the temperature of the tissue, increase cell permeability of fat cells and break down fibrous tissues present in the skin.

- Creams. With drainage ingredients to fight water retention and unblock tissue, burn fat (with caffeine) and smooth the skin, creams reduce the number and size of fatty cells and improve the look and feel of the skin.

- Hydrotherapy. Lymphatic aquadrainage is a specific form of exercise done in water. It strengthens the postural muscles which act four times as much on venous circulation than superficial muscles. Hydromassaging baths and showers with jets also stimulate the veins and lymph glands.

For years, liposuction has been one of the most popular forms of plastic surgery. Because it is relatively safe and very effective, millions of people have used the technique to take care of troublesome areas of the body where fat tends to stick. Liposuction is not an alternative to diet and exercise.

Rather, it acts as the final measure to reduce obese in places a traditional diet and exercise program won’t touch. When used right, it can be one of the greatest tools in the fight against fat. Here are some of the benefits of fat removal surgery.

Appearance

The main reason people choose to have liposuction done is to improve their appearance. Plastic surgery of all kinds fills a need people have to change things they don’t like about their bodies. A poor body image can lead to low self esteem and chronic depression. It is not, as some people might say, about being vain. It is not for impressing anyone. It’s about being happy with the person that individual sees in the mirror.

Health

It may come as some surprise to learn that liposuction can actually provide a health benefit. Excess obese storage on the body can be a dangerous thing, health-wise. This is particularly true for storage in the abdominal region, which has been shown to lead to health problems like heart disease and decreased lung function.

Removing extra obese not only provides an immediate health boost, but in many cases it leads to a renewed vigor in the patient, encouraging them to redouble their exercise and diet routines so that they never have to worry about excess fat again.

Improved Status

Whether we want to admit it or not, there is a considerable “fat bias” in this country. It might be shameful, but study after study has shown that men and especially women are continually passed over for job promotions, job offers, and are discarded as potential romantic partners because of their weight. The reasons for this are uncertain.

Some sociologists blame factors like Hollywood and the advertising industry for placing a premium on skinny girls. Others cite evolutionary factors as being behind the trend: we tend to see thin people as healthier, and therefore stronger, with a greater potential for passing down good genes. Whatever the reason, surgeries like liposuction have been shown to increase status by removing excess fat and helping people attain the bodies they desire.

Why an increasing number of people are going for Liposuction

A large number of people are continuously trying to find new and better techniques of toning down, as obesity is fast emerging as one of the most serious health problems of the present day. One of the techniques using surgery to relieve the body of excess fat is liposuction.

This technique makes use of a suction instrument known as cannula that is inserted into the body through a small incision that pulls out the excess fat. When compared to the different traditional means of weight loss, Liposuction has certain benefits as mentioned below.

Liposuction helps you to lose several kilos within hours. Most of the other weight loss methods like dieting or following a rigorous workout regime require a lot of hard work for months, and it is tough to maintain your motivation for such a long period. However, lipo not just helps you remove the few extra pounds instantaneously, but it also motivates you to stay in shape without adhering to rigorous workouts.

Other conventional practices like dieting can result in many complications and create severe health risks. However, liposuction as a technique is not only safer but is also free from serious adverse effects on your health. Even if there are minor surgical scars on the body, they are not long lasting and they disappear in a short time.

Liposuction is very effective in removing fat from some areas of the body like the chin and thighs from which extracting fat is tough through other methods. Liposuction is helpful in effective fat removal from each and every part of the body.

Liposuction might have many advantages, but it should be remembered that it is a surgical process. It is advisable that before you decide on whether to go for the surgery, you take suggestions from a competent physician and ensure that the process won’t have any side effects on your body. You must also be ready for taking a short leave from work as you might require some time  to recuperate.

Benifits of Endermologie after Liposuction

While many plastic surgeons encourage patients to pursue massage therapy after recovery is over to help the body heal and reduce the risks of bumps and lumps developing after surgery, patients may also benefit from the FDA-approved treatment called Endermologie.

Endermologie uses mechanical rollers and heat to increase circulation in the body and is typically performed to address cellulite; however, it is a powerful and relatively effective body reshaping treatment for patients who are noticing small bumps and dimples in certain areas after plastic surgery.

Endermologie is a non-invasive procedure that has become increasingly popular in recent years as more people look for non-surgical procedures that will get rid of cellulite. The procedure involves applying a mechanical roller against the skin and using a suction device to manipulate the skin tissues and increase circulation. The treatment itself is powerful enough to stimulate the skin and underlying tissues so that the connective tissues can be smoothed out over the muscles which then creates a smoother, sculpted appearance on the skin’s surface.

This effect may be especially valuable for plastic surgery patients who have undergone liposuction, body sculpting or other procedures and have loose or sagging skin as a result of the fat removal. The skin and underlying muscle tissues can be suctioned and smoothed out with the help of the endermologie procedure.

Plastic surgery procedures including breast implants, body contouring and body lifts involve extensive manipulation of the body’s tissues and the final result may not look completely sculpted or smooth. While many plastic surgeons encourage patients to pursue massage therapy after recovery is over to help the body heal and reduce the risks of bumps and lumps developing after surgery, patients may also benefit from the FDA-approved treatment called Endermologie.

Endermologie uses mechanical rollers and heat to increase circulation in the body and is typically performed to address cellulite; however, it is a powerful and relatively effective body reshaping treatment for patients who are noticing small bumps and dimples in certain areas after plastic surgery.

Key Benefits of Endermologie After Plastic Surgery

Endermologie helps to smooth out bumps, lumps and dimples and reduce the appearance of cellulite and fat deposits. It may also offer some skin-tightening benefits as the mechanical rollers stimulate collagen production and help the body’s tissues heal and rebuild themselves.  Key benefits of endermologie include:

Non-invasive and simple procedure

Painless process

Can be undertaken as a series of treatments for total body sculpting and reshaping

Helps the skin appear softer, smoother and more resilient

Drawbacks of Endermologie After Plastic Surgery

While endermologie offers several benefits for those who have cellulite, bumps or uneven skin after plastic surgery, it does have some drawbacks.

First, endermologie does not guarantee long-term results and maintenance treatments are usually required. This can be costly, but may cosmetic surgeons and medical spas offer package pricing for those who may want to sign up for a set maintenance treatments.

Endermologie may also feel uncomfortable for some patients, especially if they are typically sensitive to deep tissue massage. While the mechanical rollers are painless, they do go deep enough into the muscles and skin tissues to stimulate circulation and the suctioning process may feel uncomfortable.

Plastic surgery patients who are in the early stages of recovery should not pursue intensive treatments such as endermologie or even deep tissue massage in some cases, as this can slow down the healing process and may result in pain or inadequate skin tissue repair.

Liposuction as a procedure to achieve great health

If beauty is only skin deep then why do a lot of us suffer from low self-esteem whenever we are overweight? Being obese can cause so many woes for us, such as in our wellness, in our relations, and in our view about living.

Nonetheless, for every problem, there are solutions. To remove excess body fat that causes so much embarrassment and possible health risks, we could try exercise programs, diets, and diet pills. Physicians have also developed medical procedures that remove fatty deposits from the body. One such technique is liposuction.

Liposuction was discovered in Europe in the late 1970s, and because of its success in removing body fat and giving contour to the body, its popularity as a surgical technique for weight loss and body sculpting quickly spread all over the world.

When performed by a registered and capable medical practitioner, liposuction is one medical procedure that will produce life-changing results for the person. And what are these results?

Liposuction mainly benefits a person’s health; removing unwanted fat can lower one’s risk for diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. Moreover, with the weight loss after liposuction, we can slide into clothes that are actually complementary to our new shapeliness.

In conclusion, we may feel more confident after having liposuction. The sense of our own worth is heightened and we feel that we are no longer ostracised by other people. We notice that people treat us differently, compared when we were still carrying rolls of fat. We hear compliments about our looks. The notion of being appreciated for our appearance is priceless.

As with all weight loss procedures that need invasive surgery, there are some risks involved in liposuction surgery, more so if the operation was not done in a certified clinic or handled by a trained doctor. If you are considering undergoing liposuction, make sure that you select a accredited hospital and that your doctor is certified to perform liposuction procedures. You will never regret you went through the extra precaution. Because, certainly, it’s your body that will be going under the knife and you would undeniably wish for only the best possible result of the procedure.

General information on Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical technique that can be used to remove excess fats from the body areas where fat might get deposited. It is mainly used for removing fats from thighs, face, neck, back, abdomen etc. Liposuction has become a very popular surgical procedure. The original form of liposuction was invented by Dr. Giorgio Fischer in 1974. This technique was developed further in 1978 by French physicians. Liposuction became very popular in the United States as well as other places in the world. Today’s techniques are improved upon and many variants of the original surgery were invented. These techniques were much better and did not cause any problems that were caused by liposuction earlier.

The process of liposuction uses a cannula that is used to remove fats from the body areas. The fats are disturbed by using ultrasound, laser or high frequency energy. These are then suctioned out of the body under a lot of pressure. The process uses many equipments and tools. Infiltration pump is used in the surgery to insert the infiltration fluid into hypodermis. The suction device is attached to the cannula and suctions out the excess fats from the body. Containers for fat are important equipments because they can be used to calculate the amount of blood that a patient loses on one side and the amount of fat removed from the body on the other side.

Liposuction can be performed either by using general anesthesia or local anesthesia. However, using local anesthesia is generally recommended by surgeons as it is safer. The patient must have normal body weight and be a healthy. This is because during the surgery many complications can arise that may result in high blood pressure or a cardiac arrest.

The cost is different in each region. The cost of surgery includes non surgical costs and the fees charged by the surgeon. The cost also depends upon the body area from which fat is being removed and the amount of fat being removed.

The recovery time from the surgery depends upon the number of areas treated and the size of the area treated. Usually the recovery time may vary from days to months. In general a patient gets back to normal routine after a week’s time and the benefits of the surgery become visible after about three months. After the surgery, care is important in liposuction so that the patient does not get any health problems. The success of the surgery depends a lot upon the surgeon selected. An expert and experienced surgeon can assure success of the surgery. Treatments like Endermologie can also be done to speed up the recovery time as well as help to improve the body’s overall look.

Liposuction guide provides information on safe and easy ways to remove fat deposition without going for surgical sutures. The website is a genuine source to give you a perfect sculpted body, by using the benefits of liposuction.

How Do I Recover?

Each surgery requires specific post-operative care and your surgeon will give you all the information pertinent to your procedure/s.

However there are some general tips that can help you get through the early post-op days as comfortably as possible:

•Don’t expect to look fantastic right away – if you anticipate some bruising and swelling you will be mentally prepared for the initial few days.

•Ice packs and compressors can alleviate much of the swelling and discomfort.

•Do not use any pain medication that is not prescribed by your surgeon. If you feel the need to take anti-inflammatories you must clear this with your doctor first.

•Recovery to the face and neck area can be greatly assisted by keeping your head elevated for two or three days after surgery. If you fail to carry out this simple procedure you could in fact prolong the recovery process and may even experience an adverse effect on the results.

•Make sure you check how soon you may bath, shower, wash your hair etc.

•Do not return to work or take on heavy tasks sooner than advised by your doctor. Practice patience and make the most of legitimate time off!

•Check when you will be able to drive again. This will also be dependent on the pain medication you are taking.

•Do not start exercising too soon, even if you feel able to. The possible injury or damage to the surgery site is not worth a few extra days off the treadmill!

•It’s very tempting to want to laze by the pool and get a golden tan to go with your newly enhanced face or body. However, exposure to the sun after surgery can be very detrimental so keep in the shade and use a sun block with a minimum SPF of 15.

•There are many alternative therapies that can enhance the recovery process while making you feel better emotionally. Some doctors will recommend practitioners. Even if your surgeon is not particularly in favour of complementary medicine he or she should be able to advise which therapies are safe. Always check with your surgeon first and only make use of registered practitioners.
