The buttocks are named on the maker's website, "buttocks to abdomen", and are a zone in three of its treatment protocols, for the appearance of cellulite and the firmness of the skin. No maker series reports a result for the buttocks on their own, and we say so. The roller of 55 silicone spheres is worked over the buttocks and the crease beneath in slow passes, over a course the maker gives as twelve or eighteen sessions, two or three a week. The free consultation is with Dr Marie Duggan, GMC 7488383, at Endospheres Clinic, 8 Exhibition Road, London, SW7 2HF, with the price in writing.
What the maker's series covers
The buttocks are a zone in the protocols of three maker series on the legs, which scored cellulite on the front of the thighs, 37 to 51% lower after twelve sessions, without a separate score for the buttocks. None of the series is randomised, blinded or sham-controlled, and none has an untreated comparison group.
What it does and does not do
A firm mechanical massage changes the appearance of cellulite and the measurement of an area for a time. It does not destroy fat, build muscle or lift the buttock, and we make no claim that it changes the structure that causes cellulite. For lift or volume, the doctor recommends a muscle treatment at the consultation. In our experience the appearance returns over months without maintenance, which the maker describes as two sessions a month for three or four months after the course, then one a month.
The session and after
In our practice you undress to the areas being treated and lie on the couch; the roller is passed over each buttock and the crease in slow passes, and the operator adjusts the pressure with you. A session for the buttocks with the thighs runs within the maker's 45 minutes to an hour and a half. In our experience the skin can look pink and feel warm afterwards, some people are sore after a session like after a gym session, and the maker asks for at least 48 hours between sessions.
Who it suits
In our practice it suits an adult who wants a firm mechanical massage over a course for the appearance of cellulite on the buttocks or a firmer-looking skin tone there. It suits someone who will attend two or three sessions a week and maintain the result. The maker's protocol excludes pregnancy and breastfeeding and asks for 30 days after fillers. The thighs page covers the area treated with the buttocks most often, and the full guide the rest.
