What vacuum therapy means
Vacuum therapy is not one treatment. The name is used for a range of devices and cups that apply suction to the skin, and they vary in design, settings and training. Because of that, a result seen with one device cannot be assumed for another.
How LPG differs
| Feature | LPG Endermologie | Vacuum therapy in general |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A specific method from LPG, developed in France | A broad name for suction treatments |
| How it works | Motorised rollers with controlled suction | Suction, with the method varying by device |
| Machine | Cellu M6 Infinity at Omnia | Varies by provider |
| Needles or heat | None | Varies by device |
On the Cellu M6 Infinity, the head lifts a fold of skin and rolls it, rather than only pulling it upwards. Your therapist adjusts the settings to your tissue throughout. See what the Cellu M6 Infinity is and what Endermologie is for more detail.
What this means for results
LPG Endermologie can improve the appearance of cellulite and smooth the skin over a course. Most people notice change after 6 to 8 sessions, and stubborn cellulite takes around 10 to 12. Evidence for LPG is mixed, and studies of LPG do not automatically apply to other suction devices. Read what the research says for the detail. To see how we use it, visit cellulite treatment in London or the LPG Discovery Session.
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. LPG does not remove fat or excess skin, so surgery may suit better if skin hangs heavily. See your GP about any unexplained swelling, pain or skin change.
