| Endermologie® | CoolSculpting | |
| Treatment Description | Endermologie® uses mechanical cellular stimulation to target dormant cells and cellulite dimples, firming the skin, reducing fat, and smoothing cellulite. This service is delivered via an endermologie® machine, which has rollers and a suction system that a specialist uses to treat customers. | The CoolSculpting treatment works by a process called Cryolipolysis®. The fat cells in the treated area are crystalized (frozen) to the point where they are damaged and die – a process called apoptosis, or programmed cell death. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates the dead cells. |

Endermologie and CoolSculpting both offer impressive results, and the fact that these procedures are non-invasive makes them a wonderful service for spas, resorts, massage therapists, and skin care centers to offer. However, many things make endermologie® a preferable treatment over CoolSculpting.
What Makes endermologie® Better Than CoolSculpting?
While some people may find that CoolSculpting meets their needs better than endermologie®, many things make endermologie® the overall better treatment for most people.
Faster Treatment Sessions
While CoolSculting appointments take 40-60 minutes, endermologie® sessions only take 15-35 minutes – short enough to fit into an hour-long lunch break, including the travel time. In addition to the sessions being shorter, endermologie® results can be seen in as little as 2-3 weeks, but it takes about 8 weeks to see the most dramatic results from CoolSculpting.
Targets Cellulite
CoolSculpting doesn’t target cellulite – it treats deeper layers of fat. To reduce the appearance of lumpy, bumpy cellulite, you need to choose endermologie® treatments, which have been FDA-approved to treat cellulite.
Can Be Used on the Whole Body
While endermologie® can be used on the entire body – including the face – CoolScultping is limited to specific areas of the body, limiting its usefulness for certain patients.
Non-Aggressive
Although CoolSculpting is non-surgical, it can still be painful, often resulting in soreness, redness, and bruises. Meanwhile, endermologie® treatments feel like a relaxing massage, making your clients more inclined to come in for repeat treatments.
No Downtime
Since endermologie® doesn’t require any downtime, people can fit it into a lunch break rather than wasting their entire day. Even the busiest executives can squeeze endermologie® treatments into their day and keep powering through life without needing to spend any time recovering from a potentially painful procedure.
What Is Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia?
Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) is a rare but serious side effect of CoolSculpting where fat cells at the treatment site get bigger instead of shrinking. While this side effect isn’t dangerous, the only treatment for PAH is liposuction or another type of surgery.
There have been no documented cases of endermologie® treatments causing PAH, providing just one more reason endermologie® is better for the average patient than CoolSculpting.
Who Can Provide endermologie® Services?
Professionals in a variety of service industries are adding endermologie® treatments to their offerings, including spas, wellness facilities, chiropractors, physical therapists, aestheticians, sports medicine doctors, and more.
Does endermologie® Really Work?
All endermologie® products have been cleared by the FDA since 1999 and comply with all international quality standards. Additionally, numerous studies have shown that endermologie® reduces the appearance of cellulite, improves skin’s radiance, and increases fat release, collagen production activation, natural elastin synthesis, natural hyaluronic acid synthesis, and firmness.
Why Should I Add endermologie® to My Business?
More than half (57%) of women feel judged for their cellulite, making endermologie® products an excellent investment in your business. If you could offer those women a non-surgical treatment option to help them feel better about themselves, why wouldn’t you want to tap into that market?
Additionally, as the baby boomer population continues to age, more people – both men and women – are likely to be interested in rejuvenating their facial skin and improving the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, under-eye bags, and more with endermologie® treatments.
