TREATMENT OF THE WEEK

LIPO CONTOUR PANTS

"I've been self-conscious about my wobbly thighs, tummy and bottom and dreaded wearing a bikini, so this summer a friend recommended I try out a new slimming undergarment, Lipo Contour. They were developed by an Italian cosmetic surgeon, Professor Marco Gasparotti, who initially advocated them as a support garment for patients post-surgery, but soon noticed they brought benefits of their own. He believes that the pants (which are more like cycling shorts than knickers as they extend from mid-thigh to the belly button) provide a constant micro massage because of the double-layered fabric of their design, which helps contour problem areas.

I wore the pants for eight weeks and the results were amazing - although I hadn't lost any weight, my thighs were reduced by four inches, I lost three from my hips and three from my bottom. I also noticed a dramatic reduction in my cellulite too. I went on holiday a couple of weeks ago, and my confidence has soared; finally I didn't feel the need to pull on my sarong every time I left my sun lounger."
