Can bruising occur after endermologie?

Endermologie is a vacuum massage treatment aimed at body contouring, improving microcirculation, and reducing cellulite and swelling. Although the procedure is safe and non-invasive, some individuals may experience bruising and mild skin tenderness afterward.

Is bruising after endermologie normal?

Yes, bruising can occur, particularly in individuals with sensitive, thin, or delicate skin. Bruises may appear due to the intense effect of the massage rollers and suction on the tissues, which can temporarily damage small blood vessels. This is a temporary condition that typically resolves within a few days.

Why might bruising occur?

Sensitivity of blood vessels
People with fragile capillaries, delicate veins, or low vascular elasticity are more prone to bruising.
Intensity of the procedure
In some cases, especially during the initial sessions, higher suction pressure may be used, increasing the likelihood of bruising. The intensity of the treatment can be adjusted to match the individual’s skin needs after consulting with the specialist.
Tendency to bruise easily
Some individuals naturally bruise more easily due to factors like vitamin C or rutin deficiencies, which can increase the risk of bruising after the procedure.
Insufficient hydration
Endermologie stimulates lymphatic and blood flow, and proper hydration before and after the treatment supports recovery and helps reduce the risk of bruising.

How to care for the skin after treatment to minimize bruising?

Moisturizing and skincare
Apply moisturizing creams and lotions to support skin regeneration. Products containing arnica are particularly helpful in reducing inflammation and speeding up the healing of bruises.
Avoid intense treatments
For a few days after the procedure, avoid intense massages, mechanical exfoliation, and hot baths, which can further irritate the skin.
Wear loose clothing
Choose breathable, loose-fitting clothing to prevent additional irritation to sensitive areas.
Consume vitamins
A diet rich in vitamins C, K, and rutin helps strengthen blood vessels and reduce the tendency to bruise.

How long do bruises last?

Bruises from endermologie are typically short-lived and fade within 3-7 days. For individuals with highly sensitive skin or a large number of small capillaries, the bruises may last slightly longer but usually resolve on their own.

Should I be concerned if bruises appear?

In most cases, bruises are not a cause for concern and will heal naturally. However, if the bruises are extensive, painful, or persist for an unusually long time, it is advisable to consult with your cosmetologist or a doctor to ensure your skin is responding properly to the treatment.

Bruising after endermologie can occur, especially in individuals with sensitive skin or a tendency toward broken capillaries. This is a normal bodily reaction that typically resolves within a few days. To minimize the risk of bruising, maintain proper hydration, take care of your skin, and adjust the treatment intensity to suit your needs. Over time, regular treatments can help your skin adapt to the procedure, reducing the likelihood of such side effects.
