The Scala Bio-Fir Underpants Melt Cellulite Away

The Scala underpants can reportedly melt away cellulite on problematic areas such as the derriere, the back of the thighs and abdomen

Women trying to eliminate the nasty problem of dimpled skin have now a very strong ally fighting the battle on their part. They’re called The Scala underpants and they claim to be able to considerably reduce cellulite in just a month by heating up the skin and increasing cell metabolism, the Daily Mail informs. The Scala knickers cost £25 and go on sale today at John Lewis.

The idea behind this product is that it solves the problem by tacking it at its core, unlike the myriad of creams and lotions now available on the market. The Scala does it by means of crystals found in the fabric of the underpants, which heat up when they enter in contact with the skin, thus accelerating the metabolism of the cells and literally melting fat away. Studies have reportedly shown that four-fifths of the women who have used them for the specified period of 30 days have reported “significant reduction” in cellulite on the derriere, back of the thighs and abdomen.

“Between 80 and 90 percent of women have cellulite somewhere on their body which is why there is such a huge market for potions and lotions in the category. We are approached very regularly with products promising the kind of results women want, but which haven’t stood up to scrutiny. This is where Scala’s range is different – it does exactly what it says on the tin. The technology is held within the fabric of the product so the anti-cellulite properties remain intact for the lifetime of the garment, withstanding countless washes.” Helen Spencer of John Lewis says for the aforementioned publication.

The results following a 30-day “treatment” with the underpants are supposed to last up to a year – possibly even longer, depending on the case. However, if cellulite does return after that, women should start another 30-day treatment, while also being urged to stick to a healthy diet and regular exercise to prevent it from forming in the first place.

According to the Mail, The Scala underpants work in a very simple way, albeit there still are some doubts as regards their efficiency, at least related to the degree hailed by the manufacturers. “The pants contain crystals in the fabric that emit infrared rays once they come into contact with the skin. These rays heat up the skin and increase the metabolism of the cells. This increases the blood flow in the skin, which, in turn, causes the fat layers that make up cellulite to be melted down into a liquid. The liquid is transported to the liver and kidneys, and excreted.” the publication says of the new, seemingly revolutionary product.

Hello Denise. You can buy the Scala Bio-Fir anti-cellulite underpants at John Lewis department stores in the UK. You can also find them online, but no one can guarantee those products are exactly as the one described in the article above – so do some research before actually paying for them if you can’t get them from the British store. Best of luck.

do we have to wear the Scala Bio-Fir anti-cellulite underpants for only 6 hours in order to have those results? or if we wear it more than 6 hours we wiil have better reasults?thanks!


Comment #5 by: Elena Gorgan on 09 Jun 2009, 08:28 UTC reply to this comment

Hello Katie. Yes, in theory, one has to wear the pants for at least six hours a day for 30 days for them to return the results promised. However, while it would make sense to get even better results by wearing them for longer, I can’t find this documented anywhere. There is talk that the improvements are not extremely noticeable in this case, though, so perhaps this varies from woman to woman. Hope this helps. Best, Elena.

hey

I am quite interested about the the product .But i have a small doubt wheather it creates any side effects as it has infrared rays does they effect health in any means.

Please clear my doubt thanking you

k.varalakskhmi


Comment #12 by: Elena Gorgan on 17 Dec 2009, 09:21 UTC reply to this comment

Hi, k.varalakshmi. There must be some misunderstanding: the Scala Bio-Fir underpants don’t have infrared rays, but crystals that heat up in contact with the skin, thus increasing cell metabolism. Documentation now available says that there is no side effect to this, as it can be compared with a more vigorous massage to the area. I hope this helps and the best of luck. Elena.

Hey! Ive had my slimmer pants for a week now, i ordered them off the Internet site. I Was impressed with the free postage with in Australia and that they were at my door in 2 days of ordering. I love them already! They 'suck' everything in making wearing fitted dress and pants more flattering. Plus already! They are very comfortable to wear, i barely notice I'm wearing them making my 6 hours a day very easy.


Comment #17 by: Vikki on 27 Jan 2010, 07:40 UTC reply to this comment

I'm with you Sophie... I bought my bio-fir pants about 3 weeks ago and I just love them!!! They are super comfortable to wear, not at all tight and restrictive like a lot of 'non wearers' have surmmised. I have also noticed a difference in the amount of cellulite on my legs...so much so that I've just ordered another pair so that I'm not having to wash them out each night. Love them love them love them!!!


Comment #18 by: Magda on 01 Mar 2010, 22:46 UTC reply to this comment

Hi Elena,
do you know by any chance does wearing Scala high waisted pants during night, while sleeping, work in the same way against cellulite as wearing them daytime, while i am moving? Would 30 nights be just as efficient as 30 days?
Thank you.


Comment #19 by: Elena Gorgan on 02 Mar 2010, 13:09 UTC reply to this comment

Hi Magda. They don’t say whether you should wear the Scala underpants during the day or the night, or what happens if you wear them to sleep. Nevertheless, since those crystals heat up when in contact with the skin (when in motion, I presume), perhaps 30 nights of wearing them would not have the same result as 30 days – otherwise, they would have made them specifically for nightly use and spared women of having to wear them underneath all the clothes. I hope this helps. Best, Elena.
