Why you can usually carry on as normal
LPG Endermologie uses motorised rollers and controlled suction, with no needles and no heat. Skin is often pink for an hour or so, and some people feel mild tenderness the next day, mainly early in a course. Neither usually stops you training. See LPG side effects for the full list.
A simple guide for the day of treatment
| How you feel | What to do |
|---|---|
| Well and comfortable | Carry on with your usual exercise |
| A little tired after a full session | Choose a walk or gentle movement |
| Tender in the treated area | Train a different area or rest that day |
| Bruised or sore for more than a few days | Tell your therapist before your next session |
Drink water through the day, and avoid very hot baths or saunas straight after treatment.
How exercise supports your results
Exercise and LPG do different jobs. LPG works on the skin and connective tissue, while strength training builds the muscle underneath. Work for the legs and glutes is especially helpful if you are treating the appearance of cellulite. See body contouring in London for how we plan treatment around your goals, and the LPG Discovery Session for what your first visit includes. LPG sessions run Monday to Saturday, so you can fit them around your training week. Results vary.
Who this is not for
LPG is not suitable with active cancer, an infection, phlebitis or a blood clot, open wounds or inflamed skin. If you have a circulatory or blood disorder, recent surgery, a pacemaker or an implanted device, ask your doctor or surgeon first. After surgery, your surgeon decides when you can exercise and when LPG can start, so see LPG after surgery. See your GP about any unexplained swelling, pain or skin change, and stop exercising if pain increases.
