80 to 90 percent of all women have a genetic predisposition towards cellulite. Sport and healthy nutrition are important factors, but even slim and sporty women get the unevenness. Scientists say that this is due to genetics and the resulting properties of female connective tissue. The FALKE 7/8 length leggings' triple action system fights cellulite in three ways. The innovative FALKE 3D knit structure of the inner layer applies gentle mechanical stimulation to the skin, creating a micro massage effect encouraged by your movement. The diagonal reinforcements of the outer layer apply gentle pressure and massage the lymph nodes in the groin. The ergonomically engineered pressure distribution improves the transportation of oxygen and therefore provides more energy. The return flow of blood through the veins is also improved so you feel lighter and more energised. The FALKE Cellulite Control system has been tested by the Institute for Laser Technology in Medical and Measurement Technology (ILM) at the University of Ulm. The improvements to skin elasticity and the firmness of the connective tissue are proven scientifically, as are the reductions in the circumference and weight of the test subjects' legs. Wearing recommendation: Achieve optimal cellulite control by wearing FALKE Cellulite Control 7/8 Tights during exercise, and the tights or stockings from the same range for at least 8 hours daily for a 4-week period. Order the size up if you are in between sizes.
