In this episode of The Lipoedema Podcast, Shell and Tiana speak with Niamh about Endermologie, how the treatment works, and why it can be a helpful part of a broader support plan for people living with lipoedema. Niamh shares her clinical perspective on the benefits of Endermologie for symptom management, including heaviness, fluid retention, skin quality, circulation, and tissue health. She explains why consistency matters, how treatment plans are often tailored to the individual, and when a different approach may be more appropriate. The conversation also explores the difference between cellulite and lipoedema, what a typical treatment session looks like, how frequently clients may benefit from sessions, and why at-home devices can be useful for some people. Niamh also talks about the emotional and practical side of care, including education, affordability, and helping clients choose the option that best suits their body and lifestyle.
