Benefits of technology

[0004]It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and a device which alleviate the above-mentioned problems. Especially, the method should allow for an efficient fat catabolism in zones considered problematic, such as the sub-skin connective tissue.
[0005]It is another object of the present invention to provide a method and a device for causing an enhanced blood circulation in problematic zones of the body, especially during sports activities.
[0006]It is a further object to provide a cosmetical method and a device which provide for an efficient tightening of the skin tissue and connective tissue and to provide optimal premises for a well directed catabolism of fat.

Problems solved by technology

These techniques are partially successful, but are not efficient in activating the metabolism.
Further, the wrapping is labor-intensive, and therefore the treatment in cosmetic studios and fitness studios is rather costly.
In the self-treatment version (“wrap yourself”), it is laborious, complicated and time consuming.
Some findings suggest that catabolism of fat, however, only takes place where the connective tissue is well supplied with blood.
The result may be cosmetically unfavorable.

Embodiment Construction

[0048]The device according to the invention comprises a foil element that is essentially watertight and is adapted to be brought into contact with a body part. The foil element may be made of a plastic foil, which may be essentially transparent or may be colored or at least partially intransparent. For example, it may be made of a polyalkene foil (such as a polyethylene foil or polypropylene foil), or a PVC foil, or a polystyrene or polyester foil or acrylic foil etc. As an alternative, it may be made of a cellophane foil. As yet another alternative, it may be made of a metal clad foil such as a medal clad plastic foil.

[0049]Preferably, the foil is not only watertight but also airtight.

[0050]Preferably, the foil is very thin. Compared to prior art devices (sweat pants for example) it is not necessary that the foil be mechanically robust. On the contrary: it has been found that comparably thin, flexible foils are advantageous in combination with the elastic element enveloping it. In ...

Abstract

The invention concerns a method for tending human tissue, the method including the steps of having a body part of a person covered with watertight foil; having the body part wrapped in an elastic element, the elastic element enveloping the watertight foil, and the elastic element being under strain and thereby compressing tissue of the body part; and instructing the person to exercise.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention is the field of tending and treating body tissue, especially sub-skin connective tissue, and of shaping the figure. It particularly relates to a method of treating the human body with the aim to strengthen the connective tissue, to thighten the skin, to shape the figure and to improve or eliminate cellulitis.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Figure control and weight problems have been treated with different wrapping techniques for at least 20 years. These techniques are partially successful, but are not efficient in activating the metabolism. Further, the wrapping is labor-intensive, and therefore the treatment in cosmetic studios and fitness studios is rather costly. In the self-treatment version (“wrap yourself”), it is laborious, complicated and time consuming. Even more popular for loosing weight, tightening tissue and achieving cosmetically beneficial effects is sports. Some findings suggest that catabolism of fat, however, only takes p...
