Declaration
All the methods mentioned in this article are! right! thing! Do not! right! people!

The rolling pin probably never imagined in my life that one day I would be able to “glow and heat” outside the kitchen.
But! This doesn’t work at all for fat legs.
Although this may have a little effect of relaxing the fascia, similar to a massage roller or a fascia gun, relaxing the fascia and burning fat to lose weight have nothing to do with it.
Foot Soak

Female star A lost 8 pounds by soaking her feet for a week after revealing that she was pregnant. Female star B also said that sticking to soaking her feet 3 times a week can slim her legs.
On the online sales platform, the sales of various foot baths and foot packs are indeed very high, with tens of thousands of pieces.
But! Soaking your feet can eliminate some edema at most, you can’t really “skinny legs”.
Although foot bathing does have certain benefits for the body (promoting blood circulation in the legs, relieving fatigue, etc.), there is currently no research showing that foot bathing has a definite effect on weight loss.
If you see that your legs are thinner after soaking your feet, it may be because of sweating in your body that eliminates the edema of your legs.
Shake shoes
This summer, rocking shoes are popular on the Internet, with monthly sales reaching tens of thousands.
Put it on and you’re a tumbler, needing to do everything in your power to keep your balance from falling.
That’s exactly what the business says: The wearer must constantly adjust balance and support to keep the leg muscles in a state of high tension, which promotes leg Partial fat burning,
But! Wearing these shoes for long periods of time may not only affect the shape of the arch of the foot, but it is also easy to fall.
The design of rocking shoes is very incompatible with the physiological structure of the foot. Long-term wearing of these shoes, the arch of the foot is not stressed, which may change the shape of the arch of the foot and affect the development; and the center of gravity is unstable and it is easy to fall.

Slime Leg Cream

Many female stars have recommended stovepipe creams, often referring to a “hot feeling” that means fat is burning.
The businessmen of stovepipe cream on the Internet almost all say that their products are “the same style as celebrities”.
But! This kind of stovepipe cream, “stovepipe” is false, it may damage the skin is true.
It feels “hot” because most stovepipe creams contain ingredients like sea salt, capsaicin, and more.
Sea salt may cause some skin problems due to dehydration, while capsaicin dilates capillaries and stimulates pain.
If it is added in an improper concentration, it will cause the skin blood vessels to continue to dilate and produce a strong burning sensation, and even lead to secondary telangiectasia. In severe cases, it may even develop into a skin disease [1].

Stompbox socks/varicose socks (medical elastic stockings)

The popularity of varicose vein socks may be due to a female celebrity saying that she has been wearing it for 3 years to correct her leg shape.
But! The role of these socks is to “reduce swelling” and prevent varicose veins, not to burn legs.
The function of varicose stockings is to pressurize the vascular cavity by contracting the calf muscles to ensure the good circulation of venous blood in the lower extremities and prevent venous blood stasis in the lower extremities [2].
If you feel that your legs do look thinner after wearing these socks, it may be a visual effect, or your legs are swollen and swollen…
/p>
Also, the stovepipe socks you buy online may not be the same as “varicose socks” at all.
Because medical elastic stockings are medical devices, the batch number of regular products can be queried on the State Food and Drug Administration.
Can’t find the batch number of those irregular “skinny socks”, there is no decreasing pressure gradient.
It is not conducive to the return of venous blood, not to mention that you can’t slim your legs. Long-term wear may affect the blood circulation of the lower extremities and increase the swelling of the lower extremities.

Calf nerve block
A while ago, a weight loss method called “Calf Nerve Blocking” attracted widespread attention on social platforms and sparked 37,000 discussions on Weibo. The book platform also has tens of thousands of likes for “Growing Grass”.
The principle of this operation is to atrophy the gastrocnemius muscle by severing the inner and outer head muscle branches of the calf gastrocnemius muscle to achieve the purpose of permanently shaping the calf and stovepipe.
But! This operation has long been eliminated by regular plastic surgery institutions.
On July 30, the National Health and Medical Commission also issued a notice prohibiting the “stovepipe surgery for calf nerve dissection.”

This is because there is a risk of irreversible nerve damage and lower extremity motor dysfunction from this surgery.
In layman’s terms, it is almost impossible for the severed nerve to recover, and after part of the calf nerve is blocked, other muscle groups mayThere will be compensatory hyperplasia, and the calf may thicken again.
Stretch stovepipe
Some people are too superstitious about stretching, open a video website, search for “stretching stovepipe”, and there are many tutorials, many of which are recommended by celebrities.

Originally, stretching training, as an important training method, is indeed an effective means to improve body flexibility, promote the formation of muscle lines, and prevent injuries [3].
But! Stretching alone can’t cut legs, it needs to be combined with exercise.
Only doing all kinds of stretching like the popular teaching on the Internet, and even the more painful the legs are, the more effective the method is. Stretching can also injure a muscle or ligament.
Only with exercise and proper stretching of the legs, it is possible to shape a good leg line and achieve the purpose of thin legs.
Botox injection
Acupuncture for stovepipe is generally a type A botulinum toxin, the principle is to promote the disuse atrophy of the calf muscles and achieve the effect of improving the shape of the calf [4].
This is a relatively mature medical beauty project, and it does have a relatively obvious slimming effect.
But! This approach is not for everyone, and there are risks involved.
If you want to inject stovepipe, you still have to find a regular medical and aesthetic institution, consult a professional medical and aesthetic doctor to see if it is suitable for you, and then decide.
It is a more correct and healthy way to lose weight and thin legs through exercise. There are also many female celebrities who get a good figure through exercise.
