Garment serving to combat cellulite and/or venous and lymphatic insufficiency
First Claim
1. A wearable item to combat cellulite and/or the venous and lymphatic insufficiency in at least one desired area of the body, comprising:
- an elastic material comprising an inner face and an outer face, said material adapted to restrain the area of the body with a diminishing rate of pressure from the distal extremity of the area of the body toward its proximal extremity; and
at least one projection structure placed on a portion of the inner face, said projection structure adapted to modify the curvature of the material to be worn whereby compression exerted by the material in the desired area of the body is increased to lessen cellulite and/or venous and lymphatic insufficiency.

Abstract
The garments and method disclosed herein serve to combat cellulite and/or venous and lymphatic insufficiency in at least one desired area of a lower and/or upper member of the body. The garments preferably comprise an elastic knitted shell having an inner face and an outer face adapted to restrain with a degressive rate of pressure of the distal extremity of the member toward its proximal extremity, and compromise a projection structure placed on a portion of the inner face corresponding to said area. The projection structures are capable of locally modifying the curvature of the knitted shell, or other material, when the garment is worn thereby increasing the compression exerted by the garment in said area.

15. A wearable material to combat cellulite and/or the venous and lymphatic is insufficiency in at least one desired area of the body, comprising:
-
a. an elastic sheath comprising an inner face and an outer face, said sheath adapted to restrain the area of the body with a diminishing rate of pressure from the distal extremity of the area of the body toward its proximal extremity;
b. at least one projection structure placed on a portion of the inner face, said projection structures having a height (H) of less than about 6 mm and adapted to modify the curvature of the sheath when the wearable material is worn; and
c. at least one protuberance on the outer face, whereby compression exerted by the wearable material in the desired area of the body is increased and wherein a portion of protuberances on the outer face of the wearable material are in superposition with a portion of the projection structures on the inner face of the wearable material. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A wearable material to combat cellulite and/or the venous and lymphatic insufficiency in at least one desired area of the body, comprising:
-
a. an elastic sleeve comprising an inner face and an outer face, said sleeve adapted to restrain the area of the body with a diminishing rate of pressure from the distal extremity of the area of the body toward its proximal extremity;
b. at least one projection structure placed on a portion of the inner face, said projection structures having a height (H) of less than about 6 mm and adapted to modify the curvature of the sleeve when the wearable material is worn; and
c. at least one protuberance on the outer face, whereby compression exerted by the wearable material in the desired area of the body is increased and wherein a portion of projection structures on the inner face comprises micro encapsulated active substances. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
