Shape up with anti-cellulite lingerie London:
Underwear that reduces cellulite and improves body shape has gone on sale
in the UK. A new range of lingerie, called the Bio-Fir Anti-Cellulite, is going
on sale at John Lewis stores. The range is said to be "scientifically proven to
significantly reduce cellulite and encourage inch loss in under 30 days". Tests
on 50 women found that 82 percent who wore the shapewear, as it is called, for
six hours every day for 30 days recorded "significant inch loss and cellulite
reduction". However, doctor Mike Smith told Sky News Online: "There are many suggested
alternative approaches to dealing with cellulite - but I have yet to see one that
works and one that stands up to scientific scrutiny." Helen Spencer, lingerie
buyer at John Lewis, said: "We are approached very regularly with products promising
the kind of results women want but which haven't stood up to scrutiny. "This is
where this range is different - it does exactly what it says on the tin." The
revolutionary garment's makers claim active bio-crystals contained within the
yarn emit heat energy rays which stimulate cell metabolism, improving blood flow.
This, in turn, stimulates the body's lymphatic drainage system - melting away
the subcutaneous fat layer and toxins responsible for cellulite into liquid that
can be excreted. However, any improvement in the skin's appearance is temporary.
Smith said: "Often merely a better diet and more exercise will improve the look
of the skin by reducing excessive weight."
