Product Description & Benefits

Featuring a firm, graduated compression and the benefits of elegant shaping pantyhose, the Solidea Micro Massage Magic Pantyhose 18-21 mmHg reduce and control the cellulite. The Micromassage toning action prevents cellulite, flattens your tummy and slenderizes your figure. These pantyhose enhance your natural circulation, relieve tired and aching legs and reduce the symptoms of varicose veins and leg swelling. Total leg care is enhanced by the graduated 18-21 mmHg compression.

The Solidea Micro Massage Magic Pantyhose 18-21 mmHg is the only clinically proven pantyhose that help reduce cellulite. The patented cellulite-control three-dimensional Micromassaging system from Solidea helps remodel the abdomen, thighs, hips and buttock. The special knitting process works with your natural body movements to promote circulation on skin and fat tissue thus stimulating drainage of fluids causing the orange peel. As a result, it actively reduces the unsightly fat deposits, known as cellulite, while you move during the day. The cellulite is reduced, the skin looks better and your muscles are toned.

MICROMASSAGE MAGIC by Solidea is a complete line of patented elastic tights and panties that combine an effective massage action to regenerating compression and can be truly considered a specific anti-cellulite treatment. Clinical studies have demonstrated that the patented exclusive ‘'wave'' shape of the fabric, with a special three-dimensional relief weave is effective and easy to wear. This hosiery exploits the natural movements of the body and exerts a beneficial and unique micromassaging effect on the skin and on subcutaneous tissues. These pantyhose stimulate the microcirculation that is jeopardized by cellulite, prevent swelling (edema) of the legs, favor diuresis and consequent disposal of liquids which are the primary cause of blemishing ‘'orange-peel'' effects. The entire MICROMASSAGE MAGIC line by Solidea is protected by Italian and International patents. The special transpiring fabric has no contraindications and also prevents sweat from stagnating: the primary cause of bad odor and unpleasant irritations.

This stocking is recommended for people already experiencing conditions such as tired, achy, swollen legs, leg/ankle pain, discomfort, and heaviness, mild ankle swelling (edema), and for therapy for people who are standing and sitting for long hours. This type of stocking is also recommended for preventing and reducing spider veins and varicose veins and for treating problems caused by venous insufficiency. When these problems first appear, you can wear your stockings on an as-needed basis. However, when such problems become more frequent, these curative tights can become a necessity and will give big benefits if worn constantly. This support stocking helps promote better blood flow and circulation and relieves tired, aching legs due to reduced circulation and long periods of standing and sitting. In addition to reducing leg pain and discomfort, this support stocking also helps reduce mild ankle swelling (edema) by lessening the build-up of fluids. The stocking supports and compresses veins, which helps get your blood moving up the legs and back to the heart for better blood circulation. By increasing blood flow back to the heart and reducing pressure on the veins, these stockings help prevent and treat venous symptoms and spider and varicose veins.

These support stockings are made from valuable yarns, including 80% Polyamide, 18% Elastane and 2% Cotton. These stockings are available in 140 Den. Den is a measurement of the thread diameter used to weave the stockings. The lower the denier the lighter and more transparent the tights. The higher the denier the stronger, more compact and sturdier the weaver, making the garment less sheer.

Instructions For Use

1. Legs should be thoroughly dry before putting on the garment. If necessary, dust with talcum powder. The best time to put on the garment is early in the morning, before any swelling has a chance to develop.

2. Remove your jewelry, rings, and watches before applying your garment to avoid damaging it. To lengthen the life of your garment, it is recommended to wear specialized compression stocking rubber or vinyl gloves to prevent fingernails from damaging the fabric or avoid pressing your fingernails into the stitching. Also, the friction of the gloves will make your stockings easier to handle. Get Compression Stocking Rubber Gloves at our store.

3. Turn stocking inside out until the heel.

4. Pull stocking firmly over the foot until the instep. Make sure the heel fits well.

5. Gently roll the stockings over the heel towards the knee, pulling in small steps. Never pull stockings at the edge. Instead, smooth with your palm until the correct fit is achieved. Avoid rolling, twisting or overstretching the fabric.

6. Lay back and raise leg. Finally, rub leg from ankle to thigh for one minute to encourage circulation.

7. Remove your garment before going to bed.

If you usually apply moisturizer to your legs or arms, it is better to moisturize the skin in the evening rather than just before putting on your garment in the morning. Remove your garment before going to bed. Consult your physician immediately if acute leg pain or skin irritation develops while wearing stockings.

Measuring Myself Correctly & Getting The Right Size

Knowing how to measure yourself correctly and getting the right size for your garment is the most crucial step of selecting the proper garment. For this reason, please view the Size Chart (and read the measuring tips) associated with this product.

Garment Care

Proper care will increase the life of your garment and will reward you with longer wear and dependability. Frequent washing loosens perspiration and dirt, helping extend the life of your stocking. Additionally, it is recommended to get 2 garments and alternate between each to extend the life of each stocking. You can hand wash or machine wash your garment with warm water using a mild/delicate soap or detergent, or preferably with a specialized Compression Stocking Washing Solution which can be found at our Store. Wash stocking in lukewarm water of 105 degrees or lower. Soaking is not necessary. Avoid chlorine, bleach, fabric softeners, or products such as Woolite. If you're using a laundry machine, placing the garment in a mesh laundry bag will help protect it while it is in the machine. Rinse in lukewarm water. Dry between two towels. Hang stockings in the open air, away from direct heat and sunlight. Do not wring or twist the garment. Dryers are not recommended. Avoid ironing or dry cleaning the garment. Avoid oils, grease, intense light or heat, which may damage your stockings. Never pull or cut loose threads on your stockings. As a tip, if stockings are heavily soiled, rub them gently with a soft wet sponge.

The garment is usually replaced every 3-6 months depending on how often you are wearing the garment and how you are caring for it. Typically, if your garment becomes easy to put on, it likely needs to be replaced.

Important Healthy Tips

To improve the overall life of your stockings, consider alternating two pairs. As you may need to wear your garment everyday and/or frequently, it is a good idea to purchase 2 garments and alternate between each garment as this will extend the life of each garment. Having two garments will also enable you to always have a freshly clean garment, while the soiled one is being washed. When you wear this garment for the first time, you may notice that it is very tight. You may want to wear your garment gradually (or as directed by your physician), such as a few hours the first day and then gradually increasing the number of hours you wear the garment each day until it feels comfortable for you to wear the garment throughout the day. Wearing your garment consistently - everyday and/or frequently - is necessary for a variety of health conditions, as it is a therapy for a condition that you may be treating. For certain conditions, not wearing your garment might actually worsen the condition.
