LPG Endermologie in Montreal

A dimple in the skin is a point of skin being pulled in from below. Fibrous bands run from the deeper tissue up to the underside of the skin and tether it down, while the fat between them pushes up. This treatment works mechanically: rollers and gentle suction lift the tissue and work those bands directly.

How it works

What does LPG Endermologie do?

It smooths dimpled skin with a deep, firm massage.

Under your skin, small bands hold the skin down at fixed points. The fat between them pushes up, and that makes a dimple. The device lifts the skin with rollers and gentle suction to loosen those bands and get fluid moving. Most people feel lighter early, and the skin starts to look smoother after 4 to 6 sessions.

Results

Your results, step by step

10 visits, at a rhythm your practitioner sets. Full results at the end of the series.

  1. Your visit · 35 to 45 min

    A deep, firm massage

    You change into a light body suit that the clinic provides. Rollers and gentle suction move across the area in a set pattern. Most people find it relaxing, and some fall asleep.

  2. After session 1

    Lighter the same evening

    The area usually feels lighter the same evening. Light pink marks from the suction can appear and fade within hours. Drink water to help the fluid leave.

  3. Sessions 2 to 3

    The lightness starts to last

    The light feeling now holds between visits. This is the first sign the series is working.

  4. Sessions 4 to 6

    Your skin starts to look smoother

    The bands have been worked enough to loosen a little. This is the change most people come for.

  5. Session 10

    Your series, then upkeep

    Your practitioner compares the area with where you started. The bands slowly form again over time, so most plans include an upkeep session now and then.

    Bruise easily and said so. They dropped the suction pressure and checked the marks at every session. Finished the LPG series without a single real bruise.

    I had spent a fortune on creams for the dimpling on my outer thighs. Someone finally explained that the pull comes from bands under the skin, which no cream reaches. Ten LPG sessions did more than ten years of products.

  • ★★★★★

    Ten LPG sessions on the backs of my thighs. The first thing that changed was how light my legs felt, and the texture followed around session five. It is the most relaxing appointment I have ever paid for.

    Mes jambes gonflent à la fin de chaque quart de travail et le LPG est la seule chose qui ait fait une différence. On m’a dit honnêtement qu’il s’agit de drainage et non de perte de graisse, ce qui correspond exactement à mon besoin.

    J’ai commencé l’endermologie LPG après une chirurgie abdominale, avec l’accord de mon chirurgien. La cicatrice est nettement plus souple et l’œdème a diminué plus vite que prévu. On a demandé ses consignes avant de toucher à quoi que ce soit.

    The clinic has a great variety of services! Staff were nice and welcoming for my lipomassage, explained everything, and were super patient with all my questions.

Work the tissue, or heat the skin

Both are used for dimpling and texture. One moves tissue mechanically; the other warms the dermis so collagen is laid down. They answer slightly different versions of the same complaint.

Your visit

Change, lie down, and let the head do the work

Performed by trained practitioners, after a consultation that sets the areas and the plan.

  1. At the consultation

    Your areas and your history are reviewed

    If you are coming after surgery, bring your surgeon’s instructions: the timing and the pressure both depend on where your recovery is.

  2. 35 to 45 minutes

    In the body suit, the head works across the area

    The suit is provided and light; it is what lets the head glide and the suction work on tissue rather than on skin. Rollers and a measured vacuum pass in a set pattern, firm but adjusted to you: a deep massage, not a pinch.

  3. Straight after

    You get dressed and leave

    There is nothing to apply, nothing to avoid and nothing to recover from. Drink water, because the session has moved fluid that now has to leave.

  4. Across the series

    You come back at the rhythm your plan sets

    Fibrous tissue gives only when it is worked repeatedly, so the spacing matters more than the length of any one session.

  • Bring your surgeon’s instructions if you are post-operative

    Timing and pressure both depend on where your recovery actually is

  • Tell us about blood thinners or a bleeding disorder

    Suction can mark skin that bruises easily, and the pressure is adjusted for it

  • Drink water through the day

    The session moves fluid, and it has to have somewhere to go

  • Avoid heavy body lotion on the day

    The head needs to grip the suit, not slide on a layer of cream

Safety

Side effects, and who it is not for

This is the gentlest treatment in the clinic by some distance: no energy, no heat, nothing injected and nothing broken. What follows is what follows a firm massage.

  • The pressure is set to you and adjusted at every session
  • A body suit is provided, and the session is the same whoever treats you
  • Post-operative treatment waits for your surgeon’s instructions

Common and temporary

  • A pleasantly worked feeling in the area afterwards
  • Light pinkness where the head passed, fading within the hour
  • Needing to pass urine more than usual for a few hours

Less common

  • Temporary marking or light bruising, mostly on skin that bruises easily
  • Tenderness in the area for a day, as after a deep massage
  • No change in texture at all, which usually means the dimpling was not tethered

Wait, or choose another option, if

  • You have an active infection, rash or open skin in the area
  • You have a deep vein thrombosis or a clotting disorder
  • You have had surgery in the area and your surgeon has not cleared treatment
  • You are pregnant, unless your doctor has cleared it
  • You have an active cancer, unless your doctor has cleared it
  • You bruise very easily or take blood thinners: possible, but the pressure is adjusted

Call the clinic or seek care right away if

A leg becomes painful, swollen, warm or red after a session, you become short of breath, or a surgical scar that was treated opens, weeps or becomes hot and increasingly painful.

Right for me

Best for texture and tethering, not for a pocket of fat

Pinch the area gently and look at what happens to the surface. Which of these is it?
