Profile: Lisa-Jane Personal Trainer, Fitness Instructor with Wildcat Fitness based in West London, UK.

The Trial: Lisa-Jane used all 3 products from the Figurite 1,2,3 System over a 28 day trial

The Results:" I took progress photos every week - after day 7 there was very little change in appearance but my skin felt much smoother, day 14 the cellulite was a little reduced, but by day 21 the difference was so noticeable and my thighs felt a lot firmer. I have to be honest, I was actually amazed to see such results in such a short space of time. The trial tied in perfectly with a holiday I had already booked, and day 28 was my first day of a beach break in Dubai.... and I can honestly say the first time in a long time that I have felt bikini confident and not desperate reaching for a sarong to cover the tops of my legs every time I got up from my sun lounger. I have never seen such a reduction in cellulite from any other product I have used before, and certainly not within 4 weeks. I really was impressed - and would definitely recommend the products to anyone looking to reduce the appearance of their cellulite. "

Before you embark on any cellulite treatment it is important to know the facts about cellulite ad how it is formed.

Cellulite is a distinctive layer of subcutaneous body fat (adiposis edematosa) which pushes against the connective tissues, limiting the blood flow to fat cells and depleting them of oxygen. This causes the connective tissues to harden and become less flexible, giving the surface of the skin a dimpled, lumpy orange peel appearance. Although a small number of men are affected by cellulite, a staggering 95% of cellulite cases occur in women aged 20 plus. This is because women have a much thinner epidermis than men, making it less resilient to structural change and defence against cellulite.

Cellulite develops when the body loses its natural ability to break down fatty deposits, but the main cause of cellulite is poor micro-circulation, which makes it difficult for adequate nutrients to reach all areas of the body and skin and in turn, reduces the body’s ability to process toxins.

Cellulite can form in any area where fatty tissue accumulates, but most frequently appears on the bottom, stomach and thigh areas. However, having cellulite doesn’t mean that a woman is overweight – it can affect women of all shapes and sizes.

Symptoms of cellulite can vary in severity. In mild cases skin dimpling and occasional pitting is visible when the skin is pinched. Moderate cases have diffuse skin dimpling with pits and bulges. In severe cases the skin has an uneven appearance, dimpling, severe bulges, skin thinning and diffused wrinkling.

Factors that can influence the appearance of cellulite include genetics; poor diet / fad dieting; slow metabolism, lack of physical activity; hormonal changes, an unhealthy or high stress lifestyle; dehydration; colour and / or density of the skin.

Although cellulite isn’t a serious medical condition its unsightly appearance can have a psychological impact, leading to feelings of low self worth, lack of confidence and in some cases, impeding on one’s life in such a way that it becomes the dominating factor when making lifestyle choices i.e. social activities such as swimming, going to the beach or even just wearing shorts.

The objective of the study was to detect primary skin irritation potential and/or existing allergic sensitisation to the test substance.

The test substance is applied to the skin of the panellist via an occlusive patch at a suitable concentration.

The patch limits contact of the panellist’s skin with the test substance to a local area and exposure is exaggerated due to the occlusive conditions. The skin is checked at 24, 48 and 72 hours.

The occlusion eases the absorption of the suspected topical allergen allowing it to penetrate the stratum corneum to the viable (effector) cells of the skin and thus presenting a local challenge to the immune system.

If the threshold level of sensitivity is reached, a positive reaction could potentially be induced.

A positive reaction to a correctly applied patch provides evidence of primary irritation to the substance tested, but is not necessarily evidence of sensitisation.

Patch testing provokes allergic skin reactions in already sensitised panellists.

Prospective panellists receive a complete explanation of study procedures. If they wish to participate and agree to the conditions of the study, panallists signa written, informed consent and provide a medical history.

5mg/15ul of the undiluted test product is applied to an adhesive plaster (Curatest® f Folien- Testpflaster, Fa. Lohmann & Rauscher GmbH & Co. KG) and affixed to clinically healthy skin on the upper back. Textile products are affixed with a sample size of ),3 cm2 with the adhesive plaster on the upper back.

Afte a 24 hourexposure period, the plaster is removed and the exposed skin is dermatologically assessed and graded. The second and third assessments are performed after 48 and 72 hours respectively.

All assessments are conducted 30 minutes after removal of the test plaster.

Where a positive reaction is observed, but it is unclear whether the observed reaction is due to sensitisation or irritation, subsequent readings can be performed.

All assessments are performed under standard lighting conditions.

The panellists are instructed to keep the test sites dry.

The test panel includes 30 adult male and female panellists. In this test panel there are always panellists with (very) dry, oily, normal and sensitive skin.

• Standard design: Panellists aged 18 years and above with healthy skin in the test area
• Extra designs: Special inclusion of age, gender, sin type etc. according to claim of the study

• Acute diseases
• Pregnancy and lactation period
• Sensitisation to ingredients of the test plaster
• Severe illnesses
• Application of pharmaceutical products and skin care products with active ingredients until 4 weeks before testing
• Intake of drugs that possibly can interfere with skin reactions (steroids, antiallergics, topical immune modulator, tec.)
• Extremely tanned skin

No evidence of any skin disorder was detected in the test area of any of the 30 panellists after conducting patch testing for 24h: 48h and 72 hours according to the internationally recognised guidelines of ICDRG (International Contact Dermatitis Research Group).

It can be concluded that the use of the product will not cause any unwanted skin reactions due to an irritating effect.
