The Science behind Solidea

sciencepictureThe science behind Solidea is as robust as its international reputation for classic styling, performance and design.  Look first to Solidea for scientifically proven Quality, Comfort and Support.

3D WAVE KNIT

Solidea’s patented wave knit fabric is designed to create a micromassage effect on the skin to promote venous and lymphatic circulation, reduce fluid collection and massage the fibrotic scar tissue that can build up under the skin.

GRADUATED COMPRESSION

Graduated compression implies a higher level of compression further away from the heart than towards the heart – which improves circulation and minimises swelling.  Our garments are quality tested (internally and externally) so you can be sure you are getting the level of compression you require.

Graduated compression is ideal when you spend hours on your feet, suffer from tired, achy legs and is essential for vascular insufficiency, varicose veins and lymphoedema.

UNIFORM COMPRESSION

Uniform compression like that found in Solidea’s orthopaedic sleeves protect your muscles and joints to prevent injury and provide support and proprioception following injury to speed up healing and prevent re-injury.

Solidea’s orthopaedic sleeves slip over joints easily and won’t slip down during exercise.

LIPO-COMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY

Many believe that cellulite may be caused by poor circulation to fat cells. By utilising circulation-enhancing principles, our shape wear boosts circulation and reduces the appearance of cellulite while reshaping and redefining your curves.  Much cheaper than surgery!

SILVER ION TECHNOLOGY

A certain amount of bacteria on the skin is actually healthy and desirable. Meryl® SkinlifE fiber technology and Silver ions help maintain the natural balance of healthy bacteria.  Silver Ions in the material fibers bond with substances, like perspiration, so bacteria dies rather than reproduces and proliferates.

Silver Ions are natural and safe for your skin and the environment.

ANTI-MICROBIAL MOISTURE WICKING FABRIC TECHNOLOGY

Perspiration is a natural part of life.  To prevent odour and the build up of bacteria Solidea garments are SANITIZED®.  SANITIZED® technology acts to draw perspiration away from the body, thus preventing bacteria from proliferating.

When wearing SANITIZED® Anti-microbial shape wear you feel fresher, more confident and cooler. It’s the perfect choice when working out and in hot, humid weather.

ALOE VERA MOISTURISING FABRIC

Aloe Vera helps to revitalise, moisturise and soften the skin.  It also prevents odour and the build up of microbes that can cause infection.

Sophisticated micro-encapsulation technology locks tiny amounts of Aloe Vera into airtight, waterproof micro-capsules. Bonded into the pantyhose, the Aloe Vera is released when the fabric is touched or rubs against the leg. Even after repeated wear and washing the smoothing, moisturising benefits remain.
