Does Endermologie Permanently Remove Cellulite? A Chicago Guide
Updated: Oct 16
It is one of the first questions clients ask before booking Endermologie: will it get rid of my cellulite for good? We would rather give you an honest answer than a sales pitch.
The short answer is no. No non-invasive treatment permanently removes cellulite. Endermologie can improve how cellulite and skin texture look over a series of sessions, and regular maintenance helps you keep those results. Below, we explain why, what to expect and how we plan treatments at our Lincoln Park studio, where we have offered Endermologie since 2016.
Why cellulite is so hard to get rid of
Cellulite comes from the way fat, connective tissue and skin interact beneath the surface. Bands of connective tissue pull down on the skin while fat pushes up, which creates the dimpled look. Genetics, hormones, age and skin thickness all play a part.
That is why cellulite affects people of every size and fitness level, and why it can appear even after weight loss. Because these structures are part of how your body is built, no massage, cream or device changes them permanently.
What Endermologie can do for cellulite
Endermologie uses the LPG Alliance system, a treatment head with motorized rollers and gentle suction that applies controlled mechanical massage to targeted areas. It is designed to:
Improve the look of cellulite and skin texture
Support smoother-looking skin
Encourage lymphatic circulation
LPG's Endermologie technology is FDA-cleared for the temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite. "Temporary" is the key word, and it is why maintenance is part of every plan we recommend.
What to expect from Endermologie cellulite treatment
Endermologie cellulite treatment works gradually. Each session runs about 40 minutes, and you wear a reusable body suit that helps the treatment head glide smoothly. Most clients describe it as a deep, rhythmic massage, and there is no downtime afterward.
Many clients notice their skin feels smoother early on. Visible changes in appearance usually build over a consistent series. Individual results vary.
A typical plan
Consultation. We talk through your goals, the areas you want to focus on and your health history.
Initial series. One to two sessions per week. Our Endermologie package includes 11 sessions.
Maintenance. Once the series is complete, regular, less frequent visits help sustain your results.
Think of it like a fitness routine. The benefits are easiest to keep when treatments continue at a steady pace.
Endermologie or Endosphères for cellulite?
We offer two mechanical treatments for cellulite in Chicago. Endermologie uses LPG mechanical massage, while Endosphères Therapy uses compressive microvibration. Some clients alternate between the two. Read our Endermologie vs. Endosphères comparison to see how they differ, or our guide to how many Endosphères sessions you need.
If your cellulite became more noticeable after losing weight, our page on post-weight-loss body contouring explains how these treatments may fit your goals.

How many Endermologie sessions will I need? Most clients start with one to two sessions per week during their initial series, then move to less frequent maintenance visits. Our Endermologie package includes 11 sessions.
Does Endermologie hurt? Most clients describe it as a deep, rhythmic massage. The pressure is adjusted to your comfort, and there is no downtime afterward.
