There is a particular kind of frustration that brings many of our clients to Fusion of Beauty: people struggle with inch loss.
They are not sedentary. They are not ignoring their health. Most of them eat well, move their bodies regularly, and do everything that conventional wisdom says should produce results. And yet — the waist stays the same. The thighs don’t change. The stubborn areas that have been there for years remain exactly where they are, resistant to every strategy applied.
This frustration is real. And it is not a failure of willpower or effort. It is a mismatch between the tool and the problem.
Diet and exercise are essential for overall health. But they work through systemic mechanisms — burning calories, building muscle, improving cardiovascular fitness — that do not specifically target the structural issues driving stubborn fat deposits, body circumference, and the loss of skin firmness that many women experience.For these concerns, a different kind of tool is needed.
LPG Endermologie Advanced is that tool. It is the only FDA-cleared device proven to lose inches, firm skin, and reshape the body at a structural level — without surgery, without injections, and without downtime. At Fusion of Beauty in Tarzana, it is our most requested treatment — and the results our clients achieve after a course of sessions are why.
What LPG Endermologie Advanced Is
LPG Endermologie was developed in France by Louis Paul Guitay in the 1980s — originally as a physical therapy tool for treating burn scars and post-surgical fibrosis. Over the decades that followed, its applications expanded dramatically as clinical research documented its effects on the body’s fat cells, connective tissue, lymphatic system, and collagen production.
Today, LPG Endermologie is the most extensively researched non-invasive body treatment available. More than 145 independent clinical studies have documented its mechanisms and outcomes. It has been FDA-cleared for use in the United States since 1998. And the technology has continued to evolve — with the current generation of devices, including the Cellu M6 Keymodule that we use at Fusion of Beauty, representing the most advanced and effective iteration in the treatment’s history.
The treatment uses a patented device with motorized rollers and precisely calibrated suction to perform what LPG calls mecano-stimulation — a deep, rhythmic mechanical mobilization of the skin and the layers of connective tissue beneath it. The device creates a controlled skin fold, gently lifting and working the tissue in a way that stimulates the body’s natural cellular processes at a level that no manual massage, cream, or exercise can reach.
Each session is 35 to 55 minutes. You wear a specialized body suit throughout — allowing the device to work smoothly across the skin’s surface. The experience feels like a firm, deep tissue massage. Most clients find it deeply relaxing. Some fall asleep.
The Clinical Evidence: What LPG Actually Does to Your Body
The clinical data on LPG Endermologie is among the strongest of any non-invasive aesthetic treatment. Here is what the most recent research shows.
Inch Loss and Body Circumference Reduction
A 2024 BeScored clinical study — one of the most comprehensive evaluations of the current generation of LPG devices — found that clients achieved an average waistline circumference reduction of 2.28 inches (5.8 centimeters) after a course of treatment.
A separate clinical study found that 117 out of 118 patients — 99 percent — showed measurable loss in body circumference measurements. The mean body circumference reduction across eight measured body sites was 2.9 centimeters per site. These are not isolated results. They are consistent, reproducible findings across multiple independent studies.
What makes these results particularly significant is that they occur without caloric restriction, without pharmacological intervention, and without exercise protocols. The LPG treatment itself drives the circumference reduction — through its direct effects on fat cells, fluid retention, and tissue structure.
Skin Firmness
The same 2024 study found that 92 percent of women reported measurable improvement in skin firmness after a course of LPG sessions. This reflects LPG’s stimulation of fibroblasts — the cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid — which rebuilds the structural matrix of the skin from the inside.
Skin that has lost firmness due to aging, weight fluctuation, or hormonal changes responds to LPG because the treatment directly addresses the cellular mechanisms driving the loss. It does not temporarily tighten the surface. It stimulates the body to produce the structural proteins that make skin genuinely firmer.
Skin Smoothing and Cellulite Reduction
93 percent of women in the 2024 study reported a smoother orange-peel appearance — the hallmark of cellulite — after their course of treatment.
Cellulite persists despite diet and exercise because it is structural. Fibrous connective tissue bands pull down on the skin above fat compartments, creating the characteristic dimpling. LPG’s mechanical action works directly on these bands — mobilizing the fibrous tissue, improving the circulation around fat deposits, and stimulating the collagen production that supports and smooths the skin above. The result is a genuine improvement in cellulite appearance that addresses the structural cause rather than masking the surface.
Fluid Reduction and Heavy Legs
50 percent of clients reported a significant reduction in the sensation of heavy, tired legs after just the first LPG session — according to the 2024 BeScored study. This rapid response reflects LPG’s powerful effect on lymphatic drainage. The mechanical stimulation activates lymphatic flow in the treated area, reducing the fluid accumulation that creates heaviness and puffiness in the legs.
For clients who carry chronic fluid in the lower body — due to hormonal changes, sedentary periods, or simply the mechanics of standing and sitting throughout the day — this is one of the most immediately noticeable effects of their first LPG session.
Fat Release and Lipolysis
LPG’s mecano-stimulation triggers a 70 percent increase in natural fat release (lipolysis) — the breakdown of fat within fat cells that allows it to be metabolized and eliminated by the body. This is distinct from simply reducing the size of fat cells through caloric restriction. LPG reactivates dormant fat cells — cells that have become resistant to the normal hormonal signals that trigger fat release — and restores their ability to participate in the body’s natural fat metabolism.
This is why LPG reaches the stubborn fat that diet and exercise do not. The fat in resistant areas is not resistant because there is more of it. It is resistant because the fat cells there have become less responsive to metabolic signaling. LPG changes that responsiveness directly.
Why Diet and Exercise Are Not Enough for These Specific Concerns
We want to be clear: we are not suggesting that diet and exercise are not important. They are essential for overall health and they complement LPG beautifully. Clients who combine regular movement and a balanced diet with their LPG sessions consistently achieve better and more lasting results than those who rely on LPG alone.
But diet and exercise work through mechanisms that do not specifically address the structural issues driving stubborn inches, body lumpiness, skin laxity, and cellulite. Here is why.
Why Stubborn Fat Resists Exercise
Fat cells in certain areas of the body — particularly the abdomen in women after hormonal shifts, the inner thighs, and the lower buttocks — have a higher density of alpha-adrenergic receptors, which inhibit fat release, and a lower density of beta-adrenergic receptors, which promote it. This receptor distribution means that these fat cells are biochemically less responsive to the hormonal signals that trigger lipolysis during exercise and caloric restriction.
You can burn significant calories, reduce your overall body fat percentage, and still find that these specific areas change very little. This is not a reflection of inadequate effort. It is a reflection of the biology of fat cell distribution.
LPG’s mechanical stimulation bypasses this receptor imbalance — triggering fat release through a physical rather than hormonal pathway. The rollers directly stimulate the fat cells and the surrounding tissue, producing lipolysis regardless of receptor distribution.
Why Exercise Cannot Fix Cellulite
Cellulite exists in the connective tissue — not the fat layer alone. The fibrous bands that pull down on the skin are made of collagen. No amount of cardiovascular exercise or strength training restructures these bands or improves the collagen matrix that determines how the skin looks above them.
Exercise improves overall body composition. It does not reach the connective tissue architecture that creates cellulite. LPG does.
Why Topical Treatments Don’t Work
Creams, oils, and serums work at the surface of the skin — the epidermis. The fat cells, connective tissue bands, and lymphatic channels that drive body shape, cellulite, and skin firmness live in the subcutaneous layer — centimeters below where any topical product reaches. The most expensive cream cannot address what LPG reaches in every session.
What Areas Does LPG Endermologie Advanced Treat?
LPG Endermologie can be applied to virtually any area of the body where clients want to reduce inches, smooth skin, or improve firmness. At Fusion of Beauty, we most commonly treat:
Abdomen: The most requested area for inch loss. LPG is particularly effective for the soft, pinchable fat of the lower abdomen and the waistline — the areas that accumulate during hormonal shifts and resist conventional approaches.
Thighs — inner and outer: The inner thigh is one of the most hormonally resistant fat storage areas in the female body. LPG’s direct mechanical stimulation of the fat cells and connective tissue here produces consistent circumference reduction over a series of sessions.
Buttocks: LPG firms and lifts the gluteal area by stimulating collagen production and improving the skin’s structural matrix. It also reduces the cellulite dimpling that is most common in this area.
Flanks and love handles: The fat that accumulates on the sides of the waist responds well to LPG’s direct mechanical lipolysis — and the circumference reduction in this area is often among the most visible across a treatment course.
Arms: The upper inner arm is a common area of concern — both for the softness of the fat there and for the skin laxity that develops with age or weight change. LPG addresses both simultaneously.
Back: Upper and lower back fat and the bra-line area respond well to LPG — an area that is notoriously difficult to address with exercise.
Legs: From the calves to the upper thighs, LPG’s effect on lymphatic drainage produces measurable improvement in the heaviness and puffiness that many women carry in their legs — often from the very first session.
What to Expect: A Session-by-Session Guide
Understanding what happens over the course of a LPG treatment series helps clients set realistic expectations and stay committed through the sessions where results are building but not yet fully visible.
Sessions 1 to 3: Priming the Tissue
The first few sessions prepare the tissue for the deeper work that follows. Circulation improves. Lymphatic drainage is activated. Many clients notice an immediate reduction in puffiness and heaviness — particularly in the legs — after their first session. The skin begins to respond to the mechanical stimulation.
Some clients notice visible changes early. Others feel the difference before they see it. Both experiences are normal.
Sessions 4 to 6: First Visible Results
This is typically where clients notice the first visible changes — smoother skin texture, the beginning of inch loss in target areas, improved firmness. The fat cells are being actively stimulated. Collagen production is increasing. The tissue is changing.
This is also the phase where many clients want to stop — because they see some results and wonder if they have done enough. The answer, almost universally, is no. The most significant changes are still coming.
Sessions 7 to 10: Significant Transformation
The cumulative effect of consistent treatment becomes most visible in this phase. Circumference measurements show meaningful reduction. Cellulite appearance improves significantly. Skin firmness is noticeably better. Clients who track their measurements objectively are often genuinely surprised by the numbers.
Sessions 10 to 15: Optimal Results
Clinical research indicates that optimal outcomes are typically seen after 10 to 12 sessions. For clients with more established concerns — longer-standing cellulite, more significant inch loss goals, or greater skin laxity — extending to 15 sessions produces the most complete results.
Maintenance
After the initial course, monthly maintenance sessions sustain and continue to build on the results achieved. Many of our long-term clients have maintained consistent monthly LPG sessions for years — describing it as the most effective single thing they do to maintain their body.
Combining LPG for Maximum Results
LPG Endermologie produces significant results on its own. Combined with complementary treatments, the results are amplified.
LPG + Infrared Body Wrap
The Formostar Infrared Body Wrap heats the body from inside — triggering thermogenesis, burning 900 to 1,400 calories per session, and mobilizing fat from deep within the cells. When combined with LPG — which then mechanically works the tissue to encourage the fat cells to release and the lymphatic system to drain — the two treatments create a comprehensive body transformation protocol that addresses fat at every level.
We recommend scheduling your infrared body wrap session before LPG — the heat from the infrared primes the tissue, making it more responsive to LPG’s mechanical stimulation.
LPG + Lymphatic Drainage Massage
For clients whose primary concern includes significant fluid retention — the puffiness and bloating that makes the body feel heavier than it is — combining LPG with manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage creates the most complete approach to fluid management and body reshaping available at Fusion of Beauty.
LPG + Ozone Infrared Sauna
For clients who want deep cellular detoxification alongside their body transformation — the Ozone Infrared Sauna adds a layer of immune support and systemic cleansing that complements and enhances the detox effects of LPG.
Who Is LPG Endermologie Advanced Right For?
LPG Endermologie is appropriate for a remarkably wide range of clients. It is particularly valuable for:
Women with stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. The hormonal fat storage patterns that develop through perimenopause, menopause, post-pregnancy, and simply through the years are exactly what LPG is designed to address.
Anyone wanting to lose inches and reduce body circumference. Clinical results of 2.28 inches average waistline reduction speak for themselves.
Women who want to feel comfortable in summer clothes. Shorts. Swimsuits. Sleeveless tops. The confidence to wear what you want without self-consciousness. This is what our clients describe — and it is what consistent LPG treatment produces.
Post-liposuction clients. LPG is one of the most recommended post-surgical recovery treatments by plastic surgeons in Los Angeles. It reduces swelling, breaks down fibrosis, and helps the final results of liposuction emerge smoothly.
Women going through menopause. Hormonal changes drive fat to accumulate in the abdomen during menopause — and LPG specifically addresses this with its direct mechanical lipolysis and lymphatic drainage effects.
Anyone who wants skin that is firmer and more toned. Whether on the body or as a complement to facial treatments — LPG’s collagen-stimulating effects produce genuine improvement in skin firmness that builds over a series of sessions.
LPG is not appropriate during pregnancy. We conduct a full intake before beginning any treatment to ensure it is right for your specific situation.
