LPG Systems The world leading manufacturer of the world leading device.

For more than 20 years, French based LPG Systems has researched and developed professional technologies designed for aesthetic care, slimming/contouring treatment and tissular & osteomuscular re-education.

LPG System's primary objective is to create non-invasive technologies whose 100% natural techniques provide real, long lasting results. These techniques are based on the body's natural internal regeneration, which means the body is healthier and younger-looking with a radiant beauty emanating from the inside, out.

The founder, Louis Paul Guitay pioneered the exceptional Keymodule technology in 1986 after suffering from burns, scars and muscle damage in a car accident. In an effort to soften the scar tissue and restore muscle function, Guitay was prescribed manual connective tissue massage several times a week. Each treatment required 3.5 - 4 hours of massage by several therapists. The massage treatments consisted of rolling the scarred skin to assist in the production of elastic fibres. However, Guitay noted that the manual method was both time consuming and labour intensive, and the results varied considerably depending on the therapist.

To improve the process, Guitay, an engineer, devised a similar massage method using mechanical means. Guitay's machine provided the same type of massage in less time, with less effort, with greater consistency, and with variable pressures. Therefore, the Cellu M6 Keymodule equipment plus Endermologie® treatments are based on the principles and benefits of manual connective tissue massage therapy.

The initial use of the LPG Technique was for the treatment of muscle trauma, burns and scars similar to those suffered by Guitay. During research and testing of the equipment, and the associated treatments, physicians noticed that the LPG Technique not only improved scar tissue, but also in skin texture and quality. These improvements include the reduction in the appearance of cellulite and altered fat distribution within the test subjects (Bacci, 2004).

The protocols for the LPG Technique have since expanded to include the reduction in appearance of cellulite, body sculpting, re-contouring, toning & firming of loose skin and the treatment of oedematous conditions.

LPG Systems have continued to innovate both its equipment and product offering. Endermologie has grown immensely and is now used in 95 countries, with more than 110,000 treatments performed worldwide each day. Around 6.5 million people have been treated worldwide and the number is rapidly growing.
