Can Compression Garments Reduce Cellulite?



Millions of women the world over complain of cellulite development and seek ways to address this. Cellulite appearance is normally confined to the buttocks and thighs. Men rarely develop cellulite; this is probably because epidermis and dermis tissues in the thigh and buttocks regions are thicker in the case of men. Also, men in general have a thinner subcutaneous fat layer, which is structured differently. When fat cells just under the dermis protrude upwards, the skin develops an uneven ‘bumpy’ appearance. This is what women struggle to reduce and conceal.

It is helpful to be aware at the outset that whilst certain methods can reduce the appearance of cellulite, they are not guaranteed to eradicate the problem. Also, it helps to understand why cellulite forms in some and not in others. The most common factors that influence cellulite formation are gender, body fat and heredity.

Poor lymph circulation causes fibers to thicken and bind with the collagen fibers in fat cells. The resulting thick fibrous strands exert pressure on the fat causing it to bulge upwards against the dermis creating a dimpling or ‘orange peel’ effect.

Compression is a commonly used cellulite reduction technique. A specific degree of compression is known to facilitate lymphatic drainage and improve blood circulation. This in turn results in reduced cellulite appearance and a more even skin tone. Strengthening of connective tissues in the legs, buttocks and hips and better blood circulation help to reduce cellulite.

Marena Group, a leading US based manufacturer of post surgical compression garments, makes shape wear that is capable of reducing cellulite appearance to a certain extent. All Marena Everyday garments are manufactured from ComfortWeave, an F5 certified patent-pending compression fabric, which incorporates all five key characteristics required to produce the most effective and comfortable compression material available today.

15 years of scientific development, laboratory testing and clinical analysis have gone into making ComfortWeave such a high performance durable compression fabric. Marena Group has developed the fabric’s cellulite reduction properties on the basis of Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Marco Gasparotti’s study on how compression garments can reduce cellulite. Dr. Gasparotti conducted his study in Italy between 1982 and 1991. Marena uses the suggested degree of compression to enhance blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. The required compression thus helps to flush toxins out of the circulatory system. This improves circulation and legs don’t tire as easily. Medical professionals in over 50 countries across the globe recommend Marena Everyday to individuals. You can buy these garments at select plastic surgery centers, medi – spas and on the company’s website, www.marenaeveryday.com. All Everyday products are manufactured at state of the art facilities in the US.

Marena has expanded its Everyday range since its launch last year. The Everyday brand now extends to Shape Wear and Sleep Wear for women only, Active Wear for women and men as well as Men’s Gear. All these products are manufactured from ComfortWeave and come with cellulite reduction properties.

Wearing Marena Everyday regularly for hours together is possible because these garments are very comfortable and have effective moisture management and anti microbial protection. So you need not worry about discomfort over the recommended duration.

ComfortWeave’s distinct characteristics make it ideally suited for extended wear, if needed. The fabric’s three dimensional stretch properties enable it to stretch and support the wearer in all directions whilst providing high compression. So a Marena Everyday garment will not squeeze your body like some girdles do. Numerous wearers have found that wearing Marena Everyday for long hours does not leave them feeling sore at all. ComfortWeave is also comfortable because it is very soft and caresses your skin as it works. A special blend of INVISTA’s Lycrasoft spandex and Tactel nylon make it the softest compression fabric on the market today. Engineered to withstand intense pressure, this fabric is the most durable stretch material available currently. Laboratory tests have shown that it retains its shape beyond 30 rigorous washes and 60, 000 flexes. Of all stretch fabrics on the market today, ComfortWeave alone is permanently fortified with anti microbial protection, which combats the development of mold, bacteria, mildew and the like, thus keeping the garment free from unpleasant smell. Another significant comfort enhancing feature of ComfortWeave is inbuilt Coolmax® moisture absorption technology, which enables the fabric to absorb perspiration and let it pass through the garment’s outer surface into the surrounding air. These two features enable the wearer to stay cool, dry, clean and fresh no matter how long she wears her Everyday garment. Everyday presents a comfortable and supportive solution to cellulite problems.

Depending on your condition, you can choose from among leggings, capris, sleep leggings, sleep shorts, exercise shorts and exercise pants. The body hugging leggings and capris are hot favorites and have become wardrobe must- haves. These are so sleek and versatile that you can wear them alone or team them with other outfits and look shapely and stylish.  These can be worn almost anywhere. You will soon notice your legs feel less tired. The sleep leggings and sleep shorts offer high supportive compression without making you uncomfortable. You will find them so soft and cool that wearing them through the night is no problem at all. The exercise shorts and pants are ideal for working out at the gym, jogging and long bike rides. The fabric works to reduce cellulite whilst you are on the move.

Marena Everyday garments are designed to deliver instant slimming effects as well as long term physiological benefits to regular wearers. If you are looking to reduce cellulite appearance, you might want to try other reduction techniques as well in addition to wearing Marena Everyday shape wear. Drinking plenty of water is recommended by some because it flushes toxins out. In addition, regular aerobic exercises and eating light and balanced meals facilitate the reduction of cellulite. Aerobic exercises and appropriate weight training build muscle whereas a regular healthy diet can prevent fat from accumulating. So even if you can’t get rid of cellulite altogether, Marena Everyday makes it possible to reduce cellulite and have smoother skin.
