If you’re booking a mechanical pinch-and-roll massage at an LPG treatment centre, you may be asked to wear a bodysuit. It provides a fabric layer for hygiene and comfort and helps the treatment head glide smoothly. It is not slimming shapewear. Whether you need one depends on the device and your treatment, so ask the centre what to wear and whether it provides the bodysuit before your appointment.
The bodysuit’s role during treatment
In its official French-language FAQ, consulted on 2 October 2026, LPG says an endermowear bodysuit is generally used for CELLU M6 aesthetic treatments.
Hygiene
The bodysuit forms a fabric layer between your skin and the treatment head. LPG lists hygiene as one reason for wearing it, but does not explain how individual centres supply or clean their bodysuits. Your centre can tell you how it handles this.
Comfort
LPG also mentions comfort. If the bodysuit pulls, bunches up or feels uncomfortable, tell the practitioner before treatment starts. They can help you choose a size; a tighter suit won’t make the treatment more effective.
Helping the treatment head move smoothly
According to LPG, the fabric helps the treatment head move during the session. The garment itself has no slimming effect.
It’s the device that provides the mechanical action, not the bodysuit. LPG’s explanation gives no basis for claims that the fabric helps you lose centimetres or further reduces cellulite.
Is a bodysuit required for every mechanical pinch-and-roll treatment?
No. What you need to wear depends on the device. LPG’s guidance covers CELLU M6 aesthetic treatments, for which an endermowear bodysuit is generally used.
The same FAQ states that CELLU M6 medical treatments can be carried out directly on the skin, depending on the planned treatment. Your practitioner will tell you what’s appropriate and how to prepare.
| Situation | What to know |
|---|---|
| CELLU M6 aesthetic treatment | An endermowear bodysuit is generally used, according to LPG. |
| CELLU M6 medical treatment | Treatment may be carried out directly on the skin, depending on the planned treatment. |
| Another device at a treatment centre | Ask the centre what to wear; LPG’s guidance may not apply. |
| Manual massage at home | An endermowear bodysuit is not required. |
Before your first session: questions for the centre
Before buying anything, call or message the centre: “Do I need a particular bodysuit for my treatment, and do you provide it?”
The cupping tool that replicates pinching and rolling, 3 minutes per zone
- The professionals' technique, at home: you lift, glide, and release, and the tool grips the skin fold like a manual pinching and rolling
- Soft silicone that fits thighs, buttocks, stomach, and arms
- 3 minutes per zone, every day, always with a massage oil so the tool glides
Supply, purchase and sizing
- Which device will be used for your treatment?
- Does the centre provide, lend or sell the bodysuit?
- If there is a charge, is it included in the quoted treatment price?
- How should you choose your size, and can the fit be checked at the centre?
- Which clothes or underwear should you keep on during the session?
Each centre has its own arrangements. Tight-fitting sportswear or shapewear may not be an acceptable substitute, so check which model the centre accepts before ordering.
Care and future appointments
If you take home your own bodysuit, ask how to care for it and whether to bring it to every appointment. Follow the care label and the centre’s washing and drying instructions: the garment’s name alone won’t tell you which washing temperature or method to use.
Keep these details with your appointment confirmation so they’re easy to find before your next visit.
Should you apply oil underneath the bodysuit?
Do not apply oil underneath your endermowear unless the centre tells you to. An oil suitable for manual massage may not be compatible with a professional device. Ask whether you should arrive with your skin free of products.
The Huile Massage Cellulite mentioned in the original French article helps hands glide during manual massage at home. Its French product page instructs users to shake the bottle before use. The oil is for adults only and is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It is not presented as suitable for use underneath endermowear or with professional devices.
If you’re doing manual massage at home, you’ll find advice on choosing and applying a massage oil in our blog, along with a guide to manual pinch-and-roll massage. You don’t need a treatment-centre bodysuit to use a suction cup at home, either; our anti-cellulite cupping guide explains how to use one.
Frequently asked questions
Is the bodysuit slimming shapewear?
No. Endermowear is worn during LPG treatment for hygiene, comfort and to help the treatment head move smoothly. It does not slim your figure.
Can you bring your own bodysuit?
Check with the centre first. It needs to accept your model and confirm that it’s suitable for the device, even if it looks like the bodysuits used there.
Should you keep the bodysuit on after the session?
LPG describes its role during treatment only. There’s no slimming reason to keep it on afterwards based on that guidance.
