Sound

The rolling pin is estimated that in this life, he never expected that one day he would be able to "shine" outside the kitchen.
But! This doesn't do much for fat-rich legs at all.
Although this may have a slight effect of relaxing the fascia, similar to a massage roller or a fascia gun, relaxing the fascia and consuming fat to lose weight are not at all related.
Soak your feet

Female star A lost 8 pounds a week by soaking her feet after she became pregnant, and female star B also said that insisting on soaking her feet 3 times a week can slim her legs.
On the online sales platform, the sales of various foot soaking basins and foot soaking bags are indeed very high, with tens of thousands of pieces.
But! Foot soaking can eliminate some edema at most, and can not really "thin legs".
Although foot soaking does have certain benefits for the body (promoting blood circulation in the legs, relieving fatigue, etc.), there is no research to show that foot soaking has a definite effect on weight loss.
If you look at your legs after soaking your feet, you may be sweating in your body to eliminate leg edema.
Shake the shoe
This summer, rocker shoes swept the Internet, with monthly sales of even tens of thousands.
Wear it on and you become a tumbler and need to do your best to keep yourself balanced so you don't fall.
This is also the point of the business promotion: the wearer must constantly adjust the balance and support, so that the leg muscles are in a state of high tension, so as to promote the burning of leg fat,
But! Wearing such shoes for a long time may not only affect the shape of the arch of the foot, but also be easy to fall.
The design of the rocker shoes is very inconsistent with the physiological structure of the foot. Long-term wearing of this kind of shoes, the arch of the foot is not forced, may change the shape of the arch, affecting the development; and the center of gravity is unstable and easy to fall.

Slim off the leg cream

Many female celebrities have recommended slimming leg cream, and they often refer to a "hot feeling" and say that this feeling means that fat is burning.
Merchants of skinny leg cream on the Internet almost all say that their products are "star with the same style".
But! This kind of skinny leg cream, "skinny leg" is fake, may damage the skin is true.
The reason why it feels "hot" is because most lean leg creams contain sea salt, capsaicin and other ingredients.
Sea salt application can cause some skin problems due to dehydration of the skin, while capsaicin has the effect of dilating microvessels and stimulating pain sensations.
If the concentration is not added properly, it will cause the skin blood vessels to continue to dilate and produce a strong burning sensation, and even lead to secondary telangiectasia, and in severe cases, even skin diseases [1].

Skinny leg socks/varicose vein socks (medical stretch socks)

The fire of varicose vein socks may be due to a female celebrity saying that she has worn it for 3 years to correct her leg shape.
But! The role of such socks is only to "reduce swelling" and prevent varicose veins, not to slim the legs.
The effect of varicose vein socks is to prevent blood stasis in the veins of the lower extremities by constricting the calf muscles to pressurize the vascular lumen, ensuring good circulation of blood in the veins of the lower extremities and preventing blood stasis in the veins of the lower extremities [2].
If you feel that after wearing this sock, the legs do look a little thinner, it may be a visual effect, or your legs are originally a little swollen, and the swelling is reduced...
Moreover, the skinny leg socks you buy online may not be at all the same as the "varicose vein socks".
Because medical elastic stockings are medical devices, regular products can be queried on the State Food and Drug Administration.
Can't find the batch number of those irregular "tight skinny leg socks", there is no decreasing pressure gradient.
It is not conducive to the return of venous blood, can not slim the legs, not to mention, long-term wear may affect the blood circulation of the lower limbs, aggravate the swelling of the lower limbs.

Calf nerve blockade
A while ago, a weight loss method called "calf nerve blocking" attracted widespread attention on social platforms, triggering 37,000 discussions on Weibo, and tens of thousands of people on a red book platform liked "planting grass".
The principle of this surgery is to shrink the gastrocnemius muscle by cutting off the bronchial nerves inside and outside the gastrocnemius muscle of the lower leg to achieve the purpose of permanently shaping the lean leg of the calf.
But! This operation has long been eliminated by formal plastic surgery institutions.
On July 30, the National Health Commission also issued a notice prohibiting the "operation of the lower leg nerve to break the thin leg".

This is because the procedure carries the risk of irreversible nerve damage and lower extremity motor dysfunction.
In layman's terms, it is almost impossible to restore the severed nerves, and after the partial nerve blockage of the calf, other muscle groups may have modern compensatory hyperplasia, and the calf may become thicker again.
Stretch the skinny legs
Some people are too superstitious by stretching, opening a certain video website, searching for "stretching thin legs", coming out of many tutorials, and there is no shortage of star recommendations.

Originally, stretching, as an important form of training, was indeed an effective means of improving body flexibility, promoting the formation of muscle lines, and playing a role in preventing injuries [3].
But! You can't slim your legs by stretching, you have to cooperate with exercise.
Like the popular teaching of stretching and thin legs on the Internet, only do a variety of stretches, and even the more painful the legs, the more effective the way, it is absolutely impossible to slim the legs, and incorrect stretching may also hurt muscles or ligaments.
Only by cooperating with the movement and correctly stretching the legs can it be possible to shape a good leg line and achieve the purpose of slimming the legs.
Botulinum toxin lean leg injection
Slimming leg injections are generally class A botulinum toxin, the principle is to promote the use of calf muscle atrophy, to achieve the effect of improving the shape of the calf [4].
This is a relatively mature medical aesthetic project at present, and it does have a more obvious leg slimming effect.
But! This approach is not suitable for everyone, and it is risky.
If you want to inject thin legs, you still have to find a regular medical aesthetic institution, consult a professional medical aesthetic doctor to see if it is suitable for yourself, and then decide.
Slimming down through exercise is a more correct and healthy way, and there are also many female stars who get a good figure through exercise.
