Shapewear: A Complete Guide to Girdles and Leggings for Phase 2 and Aesthetic Treatments
What are Shapewear Garments?
Shapewear garments are compression pieces designed to exert controlled pressure on specific areas of the body. Their purpose is to improve the silhouette, promote circulation, and, in post-surgical or cosmetic treatment contexts, optimize results and accelerate recovery.
Shapewear and Leggings: Essential Allies
Among the most versatile and effective shaping garments are girdles and leggings , each with specific functions depending on the area to be treated and the desired objective.
Shapewear
Shapewear garments are compression garments that cover the abdomen, waist, and, in many cases, the lower back and buttocks. Their benefits include:
- Uniform abdominal compression
- Lumbar support and postural correction
- Waist and abdomen shaping
- Control of post-surgical or post-treatment inflammation
- Immediate slimming effect under clothing
Shaping Leggings
Compression leggings focus on the lower limbs, offering:
- Graduated compression in legs and buttocks
- Improved venous circulation
- Reduction of cellulite and fluid retention
- Muscle support during activity
- Thigh and buttock shaping
VOE Slim: Premium Textile Technology in Shapewear and Leggings
The VOE Slim line represents the evolution of shapewear, combining advanced textile technology with functional design. Each garment is made with technical fabrics that go beyond simple compression.
Properties of VOE Slim Fabric
Microcapsules with Active Ingredients
VOE Slim fabric incorporates microcapsule technology containing active ingredients integrated into the fibers. These microcapsules gradually release their components with movement and body heat, providing:
- Continuous skin nutrition during use
- Provides firmness and elasticity to the skin
- Progressive improvement of skin texture
- Hydrating and regenerating effect
Important: To preserve the active microcapsules, do not use fabric softener when washing.
High-Tech Breathable Fabric
VOE Slim garments are made with technical fabrics that act like a second skin :
- Maximum breathability that allows sweat to evaporate
- Thermal regulation for prolonged use without discomfort
- Prevention of irritations and chafing
- Feeling of lightness despite the compression
Intelligent Graduated Compression
The fabric is designed to provide differentiated compression in different areas:
- Greater pressure in areas requiring intensive molding
- Reduced compression in movement zones
- Two-way stretch that adapts to the body
- Returns to original shape after each use
Structural Reinforcements
Some VOE Slim garments incorporate additional technical elements:
- Spiral steel rods: With two-way mobility, they provide structural support without digging in, ideal for waist tuners
- Silicone anti-slip system: Medical-grade silicone bands on the inside prevent the garment from rolling up or slipping.
- Flat seams: Invisible seam technology that eliminates chafing
Technical Characteristics of the Fabric
- Composition: Technical blend of high-strength elastic fibers
- Elasticity: 95% recovery of the original shape after each use
- Thickness: Thin but durable fabric, invisible under clothing
- Finish: With flat seams and a seamless cut with no visible marks
Use in 2nd Post-surgical Phase
The second phase of recovery begins approximately 4-6 weeks after surgery, when the initial swelling has subsided.
VOE Slim Shapewear in Phase 2
Ideal after abdominoplasty, liposuction or body contouring surgeries:
- They refine surgical results thanks to graduated compression
- The active microcapsules nourish the skin during the healing process.
- They prevent the formation of adhesions
- They keep the skin attached to the underlying tissue
- They provide support without extreme compression.
- The breathable fabric allows for prolonged use without irritation.
VOE Slim Leggings in Phase 2
Perfect after leg liposuction, thigh lifts, lipedema or lower limb procedures:
- Graduated compression that promotes lymphatic drainage

Use in Non-Surgical Aesthetic Treatments
VOE Slim shapewear and leggings enhance the results of various treatments thanks to their advanced textile properties:
Cavitation and Radiofrequency
Compression helps drain released fat cells and improves skin retraction. Active microcapsules complement the tightening effect of these treatments. Waist trainers are ideal for the abdomen and waist, while leggings optimize results for the legs.
Mesotherapy and Carboxytherapy
The compressive fabric promotes the homogeneous distribution of the injected active ingredients and reduces post-treatment inflammation in the treated areas.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
It prolongs the draining effect and keeps tissues in optimal position between sessions. The graduated compression of the VOE Slim fabric simulates the effect of a massage.
Slimming and Anti-cellulite Treatments
Maximize effectiveness by maintaining constant pressure. The microcapsules with active ingredients work synergistically with professional treatments, especially on the abdomen (girdles) and legs (leggings).

- Do not iron or use bleach
- Rotate between two garments to allow the fabric to regain its shape
