Abstract
Endermologie is a motorized rhythmic folding-unfolding and suction technique of the panniculus adiposus. Our study shows that one 40-min Endermologie session produces no noticeable changes in biological parameters, except for plasma estradiol levels, which vary significantly, first by decreasing during the session, then by increasing afterward. Such an Endermologie/estrogen interaction can be compared to the clinical effects observed in some patients undergoing regular Endermologie treatment: return of menses in amenorrheal patients and a trophic effect on skin and subcutaneous connective tissue comparable to that observed during postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy. Understanding such an interaction with the estrogen metabolism requires additional studies and opens many paths for research on therapeutic applications before and after menopause beyond refinement of the body contour and improvement of the appearance of the panniculus adiposus.
