If you are a postpubescent woman, there is an 85% or greater likelihood that you will develop gynoid lipodystrophy (GLD).

“Say what?” You ask, while thinking, Oh great, here’s something else I’ve got to worry about.

If you’re unfamiliar with GLD, maybe you know it by one of its other terms, like “adiposis edematosa,” “dermopanniculosis deformans,” “nodular liposclerosis,” or “status protrusus cutis.”

Stumped? OK, it typically develops in the pelvic region, lower limbs, and abdomen. It’s the herniation of subcutaneous fat within fibrous connective tissue. And if you haven’t guessed it yet, this manifests as the skin dimpling and nodularity of the dreaded “cellulite,” also known as “orange peel syndrome,” “hail damage,” and “cottage cheese skin.”

While there are as many treatments for cellulite as there are names for the skin condition, Tampa, Florida’s Health + Glow medical spa believes that one in particular is especially effective at disrupting the root cause of cellulite formation. “We’ve had tremendous success reducing the appearance of cellulite on our Tampa-area patients with EndyMed,” says Health + Glow lead physician Dr. Swapna M. Kallikadan. “Its cutting-edge technology gets to the heart of cellulite formation by delivering energy deep into the skin to tighten it, shrink fat cells, stimulate collagen production, and strengthen existing collagen fibers. Combined, this naturally irons out the dimpling caused by cellulite.”

How EndyMed Targets Cellulite in Tampa

EndyMed works by delivering proprietary 3DEEP radiofrequency (RF) energy deep into dermal and subcutaneous skin layers. The FDA-approved 3DEEP technology uses multiple electrical fields that repel each other, focusing the heated energy into the deeper tissues without overheating the skin’s surface. It also uses a modulated pulsed vacuum that lifts tissue into the EndyMed handpiece for deeper penetration. EndyMed’s 3DEEP RF-delivered heat stimulates collagen production and strengthens existing collagen fibers, tightening the targeted skin and helping smooth the dimpled appearance of cellulite. The energy also helps shrink fat cells and speed up fat metabolism, which helps reduce bulging fat deposits that give cellulite its lumpy look. Lastly, EndyMed’s vacuum action creates sub-atmospheric pressure that boosts blood circulation and activates the lymphatic system, helping to remove metabolic waste and reduce fluid buildup, which further diminishes the appearance of cellulite.

Why EndyMed is an Effective Cellulite Treatment

Researchers believe EndyMed effectively treats cellulite because it targets its multiple causes, including fibrous septae (connective tissue bands that trap fat in nodules), fat herniation, and poor circulation. EndyMed’s delivery is fully customizable, allowing providers to treat different body areas and stages of cellulite with greater precision, targeting specific cellulite pockets.

While clinical studies on EndyMed have primarily focused on patient safety, body contouring, and the efficacy of skin tightening, researchers have also noted cellulite reduction as a distinct outcome. EndyMed clinical trial patients have typically reported overall patient satisfaction rates exceeding 90%, with some of that satisfaction likely attributed to the diminishment of visible cellulite. Before-and-after photos of patients in the trials tend to show a decrease in cellulite, along with improved body contours.

Many treatments claim to reduce the appearance of cellulite, but EndyMed is the only treatment that provides clinically proven results without surgery or downtime. In addition to diminishing the appearance of cellulite, EndyMed treatment tightens patients’ skin and gives them better-defined contours.

Your EndyMed Cellulite Treatment in Tampa with Health + Glow

An EndyMed cellulite treatment session at our Tampa medical spa can be conducted in under 45 minutes. During treatment, your practitioner will guide the EndyMed handpiece over the targeted cellulite, pausing periodically to allow the vacuum to pull the skin close for deeper energy penetration. Patients describe feeling the vacuum suction pressure and a warming sensation, but no pain. Once all areas have been treated, you’re free to go and resume all regular daily activities. Some patients experience mild swelling and temporary redness of the treated areas, but this generally subsides within a day or two.

While some patients experience a noticeable reduction in cellulite and tighter skin within a few weeks after their first or second treatment, most require six to eight sessions to achieve optimal results. Visible results take time to emerge as the body ramps up collagen production, improves blood circulation, enhances lymphatic drainage, and boosts fat metabolism in the treated areas with each session. Most of our patients report that complete cellulite reduction and skin tightening results are apparent within three to six months of their last session.
