Recently I was sent to Montreal to learn about LPG Endermologie from Daniele Henkel, a wellness company that’s a distributor of the equipment in the US.  Endermologie has been around for over 25 years, but the equipment that may currently be in the US isn’t the latest in technological advances.  There hasn’t been a distributor in the US for several years, and Daniele Henkel will be bringing the newest in endermologie to the US.   Daniele Henkel is not only a distributor, but they are educators and true believers in living naturally and healthfully and that the products they represent have the same philosophy.   Lipomassage by Endermologie is a 100% natural and non-invasive procedure that helps to eradicate areas of fat that a person hasn’t been able to lose with diet and exercise.   It helps the flow of the blood’s circulation and lymphatic system and EndermoLift by Endermologie is what is used on the face for reducing wrinkles and sculpting.

The training facility (above) at Daniele Henkel consists of several pieces of equipment, including the various Endermologie equipment and the Huber Motion Lab.

As you can see, a different size tool is used on the face compared to the rest of the body and the technician reads the screen on the machine to give them the correct info needed to get the best results.

To begin the process you have to put on this “nurse white” leotard that goes from head to toe.  The Ergodrive treatment head doesn’t touch bare skin, only when doing EndermoLift on the face.  We each had approximately 30 minute treatments on the first day and about 15 minutes on the next.  I was apprehensive at first, concerned that the machine would possibly hurt.  I shouldn’t have worried.  The technicians were excellent and it was actually quite relaxing and I almost could have dozed off to sleep, except we were talking most of the time.  Nonetheless it was the most relaxing time I’ve had in a long time!  The technician wanted to make sure I was comfortable, talk about trouble spots and she was also telling me what she was evaluating about me.  During the process it feels like a rolling and suctioning sensation simultaneously; like an interesting massage.

Daniele had told us her own personal story of having a surgery on her knee and how this helped the healing process.   I didn’t expect to see much change or feel anything differently, especially after only one treatment.  But, many years ago I had a knee injury in high school and it can bother me from time to time – OK all the time.   As I get older it bothers me more – my knee becomes extremely stiff if I sit in one spot too long without moving my legs or if I stand too long it becomes difficult to bend.  I’m talking about – I can’t sit in one position for even 10 minutes without moving my legs because of stiffness – arthritic feeling stiffness.   So after the technician talked to me she wanted to concentrate on the leg area.   Before I even told her about my leg issue, she had run the machine across my legs and she made the comment to ME that she recognized I have an issue there!   I told her yes, and explained what it was.

After having my treatment we sat around a table having lunch, then went over some education of Endermologie and how the skin works etc.  Another words, we sat for several hours.  Guess what – my legs didn’t hurt in the least bit.  I didn’t have to get up and walk around, I didn’t have to shuffle my legs while sitting to get them in a new position so they wouldn’t be stiff.   The non stiff and non painful legs lasted for several hours.   I was shocked, very, very pleased and impressed!  Later that evening we went to dinner and sat for 4 hours through a fabulous dinner and then walked several blocks back to the hotel and still my legs were feeling amazing!

The next day we met again at Daniele Henkel offices and finished our class and had another shortened treatment before the flight home – flying can be the worst!  Cramped seating, sitting for several hours, etc.  We left for the airport and I didn’t arrive home until 12 hours later – that’s a lot of sitting, and in crammed areas for several hours of that time.  But, for at least for half of that time my legs didn’t hurt at all. On the last leg of my trip from Chicago to home they were starting to feel fatigued, but not nearly as stiff and pained as they would normally feel.  To say I was impressed is the understatement of the year!   I wondered if in only one or two treatments that made me feel this good, how good could others who have much worse injuries or ailments feel after a series of treatments?  Could surgeries or other procedures be deemed unnecessary?  This was only one “issue” that Endermologie helped, how many other things could this do?

Stay tuned for more on my trip and what I learned.
