Anti-cellulite leggings and jeans
Graduated compression “anti-cellulite leggings” may be partially effective for the temporary prevention/reduction of cellulite, for SOME types of cellulite. For some other types they can actually make the situation worse.
On the other hand, plain, constant compression, stockings are actually counterproductive.
We have analysed these types of “anti-cellulite” garments in a previous article.
However, there is a third type of anti-cellulite apparel that is an utter gimmick. And this is divided into two categories:
Caffeine infused into anti-cellulite jeans, shorts, leggings, tights etc to “break down” the cellulite
Anti-cellulite clothing with “infrared-emitting crystals” woven into them to “melt” the cellulite
Caffeine-infused jeans and leggings for cellulite reduction
One must be really naive to believe that caffeine infused into jeans, leggings or underwear will ever find its way from the clothing fibres ONTO the skin.
The VERY LITTLE caffeine that is found in the jeans’ or leggings’ fibres stays in the fibres - despite the wacky marketing claims.
And it is also naive to believe that, if the caffeine ever reaches the top of the skin, it will ever penetrate INTO the skin (it will never) and that there will be enough caffeine quantity deep inside the skin, where cellulite is found, to have an effect on cellulite.
Especially when cellulite creams with 5% or even 10% caffeine content (i.e. millions of times more caffeine concentration than in caffeine leggings/jeans) struggle to have an effect
(More than caffeine is needed for cellulite reduction - plain caffeine is never enough.)
I really do not want to analyse this any further as just the claim that caffeine can be released from the jeans or the stockings and then attached to the skin and then absorbed by the skin, severely underestimates everyone’s IQ.
“infrared-emitting crystals” woven into anti-cellulite leggings, underwear or jeans for cellulite reduction
Likewise, one must also be utterly gullible to believe that crystals in so called “anti-cellulite leggings” or jeans produce enough infrared rays to “melt the fat” (as is claimed) and “get rid of cellulite”.
Especially when thinking that professional strength infrared treatments, with MILLIONS OF TIMES stronger infrared emittance, struggle to have ANY effect on cellulite.
Not to mention the “melt the fat” phrase which means absolutely nothing.
(Fat is already liquid in fat cells, and no, unless you LITERALLY BURN the skin, cellulite fat tissue will not “melt”.)
This does not merit any further analysis either - it is THAT stupid.
Cellulite gimmicks and fake “efficacy studies”
Of course the producers of such gimmicks have questionable “studies” to back their claims up with.
But with questionable studies you can prove almost anything.
One such “independent” lab study, for example, has “shown” that cellulite can be reduced by 45% in 15 minutes by a miracle “cellulite cream”. Sure…
Another “official” study claimed actual cellulite reduction with another “cellulite cream” which contains ZERO active ingredients - basically a bog-standard moisturiser. Oh well…
Cellulite miracles vs cellulite reality
Instead of blindly believing in miracles, why not do the things that really prevent/reduce cellulite? Such as:
Healthy nutrition
Exercise more than a bit of relaxing pilates once a week
Reducing smoking, vaping and drinking
Avoiding plastics and BPA in your food and drink
And replacing hormonal contraception with a non-chemical method
For faster results you can consider deep-acting, high-power radio frequency and deep-acting, ultrasound, the strongest anti-cellulite and skin tightening technologies.
And perhaps a real cellulite cream, i.e. one with multiple, high-purity anti-cellulite actives in high concentrations
