The Facial Endermologie® Concept
Dr Jacquet, a Dermatologist, introduced a facial massage technique in 1907, which includes a gentle manual squeezing, twisting, and kneading of the skin. This technique is known as the ‘le pinch de Jacquet’. This technique helped combat what Dr Jacquet labelled as ‘cutaneous hypotonia’ or ‘skin fatigue’ as well as treating oily and acne-blemished skin.

Dr Jacquet explained the effects as ‘a marked increase in circulation and temperature, giving a sensation of warmth and tingling’ making it both a relaxing and therapeutic treatment.

Today, LPG reinvents and perfects ‘le pinch de Jacquet’ with a technologically advanced device called the Lift 6® or the R6 AestheticTM (Facial Endermologie).

Facial Endermologie eliminates all side-effects while enhancing all the positive benefits of Dr Jacquet’s technique. Each motion of the mobile flaps provides an intensive three-dimensional facial stimulation.

Clinical and histological effects of Lift 6 device, used on facial ageing
(J.Revuz, H.Adhoute & C.Lacarriere)
20 sessions overs 8 weeks, - n=24

• 100% find their skin smoother after 6 sessions
• 76% a better skin quality after 12 sessions
• 80% a firmer skin after 20 sessions
• 96% a skin softer to the touch after 20 sessions
• 92% would like to carry on 2 weeks after the end

Histologically
The diagrams on the right show an increase of diameter and density of oxytalan fibres (elastic fibres which draw the link between dermis and epidermis). The elastic fibres network appears denser andd structurally improved.

The Collagen network has greater density displaying a compact appearance in the papillary and upper-reticular dermis.

Stereophotogrammetry
The diagram on the bottom right shows a volume decrease of the face oval on the treated side (lower-cheek oval and lowerchin) for:

• 70% of the volunteers after 20 sessions
• 75% pf the volunteers 2 weeks after the end of the treatment. This decrease continues to improve with treatment duration.
