Testimony of Elodie, a 37-year-old professional dancer, who had to quit her job following a lipolysis that caused her to become infected and poison her blood. Coming from the United States, this practice to eliminate cellulite has been practiced for several years in beauty salons, outside the hospital setting. In 2011, following a report by the High Health Authority (HAS), which identified about twenty serious cases of infections, the Ministry of Health decided to ban practices related to lipolysis.
To treat her cellulite, journalist Laurence Postic tested the "palper-rouler" technique at the "Mince et relax" institute in Rennes. Patrick Joye, masseur, shows and explains the principle of this technique: squeeze the fat tissues and roll them between the thumb and fingers in order to deeply de-filter, oxygenate and drain by restarting the local microcirculation.
Two women share their fight against cellulite. The first one goes to a pharmacy and is presented with the existing devices for sale (high frequency device, pimple glove containing an active product, massage glove, weight loss cookies). The second, suspended from a swordsman, explains that she does a lot of sports to overcome her cellulite.
In his Parisian office, Doctor Philippe Blanchemaison, phlebologist, gives explanations on two advanced techniques of cellulite treatment: focused ultrasound and laser.
