Compressive microvibration device
Endospheres
A rotating roller of 55 silicone spheres that presses and vibrates the tissue through the skin
Endospheres is a mechanical massage device made by Fenix Group in Italy. A cylinder of silicone spheres rotates against the skin and passes low-frequency vibration and pressure into the tissue. This page describes the device used at MED YU MED on Bluewaters Island, Dubai: what the manufacturer states about it, how compressive microvibration works and how the device is regulated.

About Endospheres
Endospheres is made by Fenix Group Srl, based in Città Sant’Angelo in the province of Pescara, Italy. The manufacturer calls its method Compressive Microvibration: a roller of 55 silicone spheres turns inside a cylinder on the handpiece, and the movement of the spheres generates low-frequency mechanical vibrations. A study published by the manufacturer dates the method to 2008.
It is a massage device, not a laser or a radiofrequency device. The manufacturer’s EU technical file describes it as an appliance for mechanical massage at skin level only. The specialist moves the handpiece over the body, and the spheres press and vibrate the tissue beneath it. At MED YU MED the device is used for Endospheres Therapy on body areas.
Technical specifications
Manufacturer data. Fenix Group makes several Endospheres models, and some values differ between them; where a figure applies to one model, the model is named.
| Method | Compressive Microvibration |
|---|---|
| Applicator | Roller of 55 silicone spheres, each 19.5 mm in diameter |
| Maximum frequency | Up to 310 Hz on the Smart model; 355 Hz on the AK Sensor All model |
| Pressure control | AK Sensor All: pressure sensors in the handpiece calibrate the pressure and the vibration frequency |
| Hygiene | The roller can be removed and sanitised after each use |
| US FDA | Listed as a Class I therapeutic massager (product code ISA, 21 CFR 890.5660), a class exempt from 510(k) premarket notification. There is no 510(k) clearance. |
| EU | Technical file under the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and standard EN 60335-2-32 for massage appliances |
- Spheres
- Soft silicone spheres rotate inside the cylinder at different speeds and transmit different vibration frequencies into the tissue
- Controls
- On the AK Sensor All, treatment activation, direction and frequency are set from a joystick on the body handpiece
- Handpieces
- The AK Sensor All carries two handpieces, one for the body and one for the face
How compressive microvibration works
The handpiece combines two actions: the roller presses on the tissue, and the rotating spheres make it vibrate. The frequency and the direction of rotation are set from the handpiece, and the pressure is adjusted to the area. Fenix Group states that the vibration acts on lymphatic stasis, fluid accumulation, fat cell aggregates and skin laxity, and that the treatment temporarily improves local blood circulation and relieves minor muscle aches.
The evidence behind these claims is limited. The studies listed by the manufacturer were published in the Journal of Applied Cosmetology and in one Russian journal, none of them is indexed in PubMed, and most are co-authored by researchers linked to the manufacturer. According to the manufacturer, the device acts on circulation, fluid and tissue tone. It does not remove fat. Any results vary, depend on a course of sessions and are temporary without maintenance.
The manufacturer advises against treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding and recommends waiting at least 30 days after hyaluronic acid fillers. The full list of contraindications is on the Endospheres Therapy treatment page.

How the clinic uses Endospheres
The clinic uses the device for Endospheres Therapy on the body: the thighs, buttocks and abdomen, where the aim is to soften the look of cellulite and reduce puffiness. Results vary between people and are not guaranteed. The treatment is planned as a course; the number of sessions and the areas are set at the consultation, and the price is agreed per session and per area.

Frequently asked questions about the device
What is Endospheres?
It is a mechanical massage device made by Fenix Group in Italy. A roller of 55 silicone spheres rotates against the skin and passes low-frequency vibration and pressure into the tissue. The manufacturer calls the method Compressive Microvibration.
Is Endospheres FDA-cleared?
No. The FDA database lists the device as a Class I therapeutic massager (product code ISA, 21 CFR 890.5660). This class is exempt from 510(k) premarket notification, so there is no clearance decision. The listing covers use as a massager; it is not an FDA assessment of any effect on cellulite. In the EU the manufacturer’s technical file refers to the Low Voltage Directive and the safety standard for massage appliances.
Does Endospheres remove fat or cellulite?
It does not remove fat. The manufacturer states that the vibration acts on lymphatic stasis, fluid accumulation and skin laxity and temporarily improves local circulation. At the clinic it is used to soften the look of cellulite and puffiness over a course of sessions; any effect is temporary and needs maintenance. The published evidence is limited and comes mostly from studies linked to the manufacturer.
Who should not have Endospheres?
The manufacturer advises against treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding and recommends waiting at least 30 days after hyaluronic acid fillers. The clinic’s full list of contraindications is on the Endospheres Therapy page, and suitability is confirmed at the consultation.
