Non-invasive body treatments often focus on the same goal: improving the appearance of cellulite, firming the skin, and smoothing contours. Two well-known technologies are Icoone and LPG Endermologie. Both work through mechanical tissue stimulation \u2013 but in different ways. At alestetics in Zurich, we work with Icoone. Here you can read about how the two differ and what is realistic for cellulite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LPG Endermologie was one of the first technologies for mechanical tissue stimulation. It works with motorised rollers and negative pressure, which lift the skin and massage the connective tissue \u2013 this stimulates blood circulation and lymph flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Icoone<\/a> utilises Roboderm\u00ae technology: a perforated surface through which a fractional micro-vacuum creates many tiny stimulation points simultaneously \u2013 the so-called Multi-Micro-Alveolar Stimulation. Both devices therefore work with negative pressure; the difference lies in the distribution. Instead of one large suction, Icoone distributes the stimulation across many small points and combines it with a diode laser (915 nm) and LED light (650 nm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is documented that mechanical stimulation supports microcirculation, skin elasticity and lymphatic drainage for this treatment approach (Review of Endermologie, 2025<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both technologies are established. We decided on Icoone \u2013 for reasons that suit our way of working:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This isn't a judgement on other devices, but a conscious choice for our approach. Read more about treatment with us on the page Icoone Body Contouring<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cellulite arises from an interplay of connective tissue structure, fat chambers and blood circulation. To be honest: there is no method that permanently eliminates cellulite \u2013 the scientific evidence also shows this (Zerini et al., 2015<\/a>What mechanical stimulation can achieve is to improve the appearance: a smoother skin surface, firmer tissue, and stimulated lymphatic flow. The results build up over several sessions and are best maintained with regular upkeep. You can read more about this on our page Cellulite<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In each session, Icoone treats the entire body, with a focus on the lymphatic system, and additional attention on one to two specific areas. It is suitable for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We often combine Icoone in a session with other body treatments. A related method using vibrating micro-stimulation is Endospheres<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What body treatment \u2013 and in what order \u2013 makes sense depends on skin type, tissue and goals. With us, the activation of the lymph and the release of tension often comes at the beginning, before energetic treatments follow. We can best clarify this together.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy we work with Icoone at alestetics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
