BEAUTY POWERED BY WELLNESS

With wellness-focused treatments now in high demand in salons and clinics, Endermologie cell stimulation technology is helping to improve vitality, stress and sleep

With recent studies showing that both stress and insomnia are on the rise among UK adults, an increasing number of salons and aesthetic clinics are broadening their offer to encompass protocols that improve these lifestyle factors.

Science-backed treatments that work on the parasympathetic nervous system are increasingly being embraced by clients looking to make long-term changes to their wellbeing.

Enter Endermologie from LPG, which harnesses the power of mechanobiology to provide 100% natural, non-invasive cellular stimulation.

Endermologie enhances wellbeing by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system and improving circulation. This approach helps alleviate issues including stress, anxiety, and lack of sleep, while boosting energy levels and natural defences.

The VSS protocol

The newly developed Vitality, Stress, Sleep (VSS) Endermologie protocol has gained acclaim from leading experts, including renowned Londonbased facialist Guendalina Gennari, aka The Skin Sculpter (pictured), who says, “LPG’s new Vitality, Stress &Sleep protocol represents a groundbreaking step forward in holistic wellness. By boosting the body’s natural defences, significantly lowering cortisol levels, and enhancing cognitive function, these treatments offer a comprehensive approach to health.”

She adds, “While many of my clients initially turn to LPG treatments for aesthetic benefits like reducing cellulite or water retention, they have experienced remarkable additional benefits with the new VSS protocol. Beyond the visible improvements, this treatment has enhanced their overall wellness, strengthening natural defences, reducing cortisol, and alleviating insomnia-related sleep disorders – a true testament to the holistic power of this protocol.”

Clinical results

A five-week placebo-controlled study revealed significant benefits for participants receiving two 40-minute Endermologie sessions per week. Key findings include:

• Vitality: A 9.4% increase in T-lymphocytes, crucial for fighting infections, alongside a 2.5% improvement in cognitive accuracy and 6% improvement in concentration.

• Stress: Cortisol levels decreased by 44.6%, with a 19% drop after just one treatment. Anxiety and depression were reduced by 50.9%, muscular pain decreased by 69%, and heart rate variability increased by 76.6%.

• Sleep: Insomnia-related issues dropped 54.7%. The protocol, which focuses on reflex stimulation, circulatory mobilisation, muscle relaxation, and digestive comfort, significantly reduced stress, improved vitality, strengthened natural defences, and enhanced sleep quality.

LPG expert physiotherapists and ateam led by Professor Christophe Hausswirth, an independent clinical research director, conducted this scientific study with the beScored Institute in France, in conjunction with the European Sleep Centre, University of Sydney, and the Cerballiance Laboratory.

The study proved that the new VSS Endermologie protocol benefits overall wellness with measurable positive impact. Professor Hausswirth commented, “This is the first trial to conclusively prove that aseries of mechanical massage treatments designed to target the lymphatic system can have such significant effects on so many aspects of mental health.”

The Endermologie Vitality, Stress, Sleep (VSS) protocol not only boosts energy and vitality but also improves overall wellness. The protocol can be used on its own, or before or during an aesthetic treatment in case of stress, helping clinics and salons to deliver the non-invasive wellness-focused results that clients are increasingly looking for.
