At Pôle Equilibre & Santé, in Bascharage, the [LPG Cellu M6 Alliance Medical](https://www.lpg-group.com/fr/expertise-medicale/technologies-medicales/cellu-m6-alliance-medical) — latest-generation medical model — serves both rehabilitation — scars, fibroses, secondary lymphoedema — and aesthetic care: cellulite, body contouring, firming.**\n\n## Cellu M6 Alliance Medical: what the latest generation changes\n\nThe [Cellu M6 Alliance Medical](https://www.lpg-group.com/fr/expertise-medicale/technologies-medicales/cellu-m6-alliance-medical) is the **medical** version of the Alliance platform: devices and protocols designed for rehabilitation, while also covering aesthetic care. The **Alliance** head combines a **motorised roller and flap**, **sequential suction** and **vibrations**: stimulation becomes multidimensional — more precise, often better tolerated, and adjustable on fine tissues as well as fibrous areas.\n\nWhat this brings in a session in concrete terms:\n\n- **roller + flap + suction + vibrations**: four independent levers to mobilise the fold, drain and relax, rather than simple assisted “palper-rouler”;\n- **Alliance Skin Identity**: the practitioner adapts intensity to skin quality (fine, inflammatory, fibrosed) to work early without unnecessary hyperaemia;\n- **range of heads** (Alliance 80 and 50 for large areas, TR30 / TR15 for scars and narrow zones, Ergolift for delicate contours): the same device treats a post-mastectomy arm as well as a thigh or abdomen contour;\n- **four actions possible in a single pass** according to the protocol: fluid drainage, softening of fibrosis, stimulation of natural lipolysis, collagen / elastin boost for firming;\n- **fine settings** (suction, speed, depth, vibrations) session after session — not a fixed “ten identical sessions” programme.\n\nThis is neither liposuction nor a weight-loss drug: the effect rests on mechanostimulation. Results depend on the area, regularity and lifestyle.\n\n## Medical indications\n\nThe regulatory indication covered by **MDR 2017/745** includes the **temporary improvement of secondary lymphoedema** — for example an arm after mastectomy. At the practice, it is also used as soon as the assessment allows for:\n\n- secondary lymphoedema, notably of the arm after breast surgery, as a relay of [lymphatic drainage](/bascharage/competence/drainage-lymphatique);\n- surgical or traumatic scars that are still adherent, painful or limiting (including after a caesarean);\n- after breast reconstruction: oedema, bruising, loss of suppleness of the chest and the arm;\n- fibrosis after immobilisation, a burn or radiotherapy;\n- preparation or aftermath of certain surgeries, to limit peri-scar induration.\n\nSuperficial muscle tensions can be addressed as a complement to active work, never in its place.\n\n## Aesthetic indications\n\nThe same **Alliance Medical**, with adapted protocols, also covers the practice’s [aesthetic](https://www.lpg-group.com/fr/expertise-esthetique/technologies-esthetique/cellu-m6-alliance) side:\n\n- **orange-peel** appearance / cellulite, including on already fibrosed areas;\n- **body contouring** and localised fat resistant to exercise (thighs, hips, abdomen, arms…);\n- skin **firming** after pregnancy, weight loss or around the menopause;\n- comfort drainage (heavy legs, water retention) alongside lifestyle measures.\n\nGoals, priority areas and rhythm are set at the assessment. This is not a guarantee of centimetres: the aim is more supple skin, a smoother appearance and circulatory comfort, consistent with your lifestyle.\n\n## How it goes\n\nDepending on the area, **Endermowear** clothing may be offered for hygiene and grip of the fold; otherwise, clean skin without cream is enough. The sensation blends deep massage and **vibrations**: sometimes intense, not painful. The practitioner adjusts suction, speed and vibrations. If pain appears, the setting changes.\n\nUsual duration: **twenty to thirty-five minutes** according to the area and goal (short scar vs body contouring). Frequency in the active phase: **once or twice a week**, then spacing. In aesthetics, a first milestone is often judged after **six to twelve sessions**; in rehabilitation, we follow concrete markers (suppleness, pain, volume) rather than a fixed package.\n\n## Evidence\n\nBourgeois et al. (*Skin Research and Technology*, 2008) described, on scar tissue, an increase in venous and lymphatic flows and a reduction in fibrosis. Chou et al. (*Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine*, 2023) reviewed mechanical stimulation applied to scars. On the manufacturer side, studies (including Lafontan / Inserm on lipolysis, Humbert on collagen and elastin) also document effects on adipose tissue and skin quality — with the usual caveat: protocol studies, individual results vary.\n\nIn rehabilitation, a useful result: a scar that glides better, a chest that is less tight, a limb that is less taut. In aesthetics: attenuated orange-peel appearance, firmer skin, leg comfort — alongside [manual drainage](/bascharage/competence/drainage-lymphatique) and, where appropriate, [pressotherapy](/bascharage/equipement/pressotherapie).\n\n## Preparation\n\nNo oil, body lotion or greasy make-up on the area. Remove a necklace, a watch and a piercing in the region. Shorts and a top that lifts for the trunk; for the chest, a bra without a bulky underwire, or Endermowear if it is offered. You do not need to be fasting; avoid a very heavy meal just before abdominal work. Hydrate as usual.\n\n## After the session\n\nTransient redness, warmth or slight bruising on fragile skin are possible, generally resolved in 24 to 48 hours. Driving, work and walking remain possible. Intense sport on the area is discussed: often deferred by a day if the tissues are sensitive.\n\n## Contraindications\n\nUncontrolled progressing cancer on the area, a skin infection or rash, recent phlebitis, an acute inflammatory flare, an open wound, an anticoagulant with bleeding risk, a blood disease. Pregnancy does not forbid all drainage, but the abdomen is not a convenience suction area. After breast cancer, the decision is taken with the care team: endermologie can help comfort and the scar; it does not treat the disease.\n\n## Frequently asked questions\n\n\nIs it painful?
\n\nNo. Intense sometimes, but comfortable. Pain would simply indicate a setting to lower. On a still-sensitive scar, we start very gently.\n\n \n\n\nDo you also offer cellulite and body contouring?
\n\nYes. The practice’s Cellu M6 Alliance **Medical** covers rehabilitation **and** aesthetic care (cellulite, body contouring, firming). Protocol and rhythm are defined at the assessment according to your goals.\n\n \n\n\nHow many sessions are needed for a scar?
\n\nOften several weeks, at one or two sessions a week at the start. A recent scar of a few centimetres can evolve in six to eight sessions; extensive fibrosis needs more. We set concrete markers (suppleness, pain, range) rather than a magic number.\n\n \n\n\nHow many sessions for cellulite?
\n\nIn the active phase, often **two sessions a week**. A first appearance check is frequently done around six to twelve sessions; consolidation then spaces out. Lifestyle (activity, diet) largely conditions how results are maintained.\n\n \n\n\nShould I remove cream and jewellery?
\n\nYes on the area: clean skin, without a greasy film. Jewellery removed if it gets in the way of the head. Endermowear clothing, when it is used, avoids direct contact of the head on bare skin.\n\n \n\n\nCan I resume sport the same evening?
\n\nLight activity yes. Heavy training on the area that was worked, better the next day if you are marked. Drainage does not forbid walking.\n\n \n\n\nDoes endermologie replace manual drainage?
\n\nNo. It often prolongs it, and is also combined with [pressotherapy](/bascharage/equipement/pressotherapie). The hands remain indispensable for areas the head does not reach well, and to adapt the gesture to your pain.\n\n \n\n\nIs it reimbursed?
\n\nFor a therapeutic aim (scar, lymphoedema, fibrosis on prescription), Physiotherapy is provided on medical prescription so that it can be reimbursed by the [CNS](https://cns.public.lu/fr/assure/remboursements/prestations-remboursees/prestations-paramedicales/kinesitherapeutes.html). The practice handles the paperwork. Details: [The Consultation](/bascharage/kinesitherapie/consultation-kine). Purely aesthetic sessions (cellulite, body contouring) are generally **not** covered by the CNS.\n\n \n\n\nHow can I book an appointment?
