LipoCare

Class 2 (23–32mmHg). LipoCare Light, in circular knitting, applies the principle of medical compression to alleviate the typical symptoms of early-stage lipoedema; the soft microfibre it is made of ensures softness on the skin, high levels of breathability and ideal fit, as it adapts perfectly to the body contours. LipoCare Strong is woven fabric designed to effectively meet the most complex therapeutic needs, thanks to the high capacity of its structure for the containment of adipose accumulation.
