Wearable Wellness—Redefined

If there were a shortcut to feeling ready, this would be it. Travel lighter, exercise smarter, dress functionally, and recover faster—this is wearable wellness that moves with you wherever you go.

SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS RESULTS RESEARCH

One garment, endless benefits

We’re not just apparel—we’re high-performance, daily lymphatic massage integrated into every garment.

Travel Lighter

Elevate your journey and arrive ready with gradient compression that will leave you feeling lighter and energized.

Exercise Smarter

Improve endurance and reduce muscle fatigue for the most efficient workouts and faster recovery.

Dress Functionally

Never compromise on style or function, practicing self-care is as easy as getting dressed.

Recover Faster

When lymph-stimulating MicroPerle® tech pairs with best-in-class compression, experience more effective recovery.

The Secret to Daily Detox is Here

Unlock vitality through lymphatic massage every single day. 

What’s the Lymph?

The lymphatic system (“river of health”) is the body’s most powerful detox system. This gentle network, unlike your circulatory system with its powerful pump, thrives on movement and self-care. When lymph flows freely, it carries away waste and toxins, leaving you feeling revitalized, radiant, and ready to embrace life.

Our Technology

We’re not just apparel—we’re high-performance, daily lymphatic massage woven into every garment. Parts wellness, parts fashion, parts technology, we make it incredibly simple to unlock vitality and recovery through enhanced lymphatic flow.  

micromassage

MicroPerle® is a bead technology mapped along the lymph vessels. Paired with precise compression, this wearable system simulates a lymphatic drainage massage inspired by the timeless ‘Vodder Method’—as in, moving lymph fluid from congested areas to healthy lymph nodes where waste is flowed out.

GRADIENT COMPRESSION

Compression is complicated—not all tight or stretch fabrics come with compression benefits. At Elastique, we pressure test premium fabrics under certain stress parameters to define the ideal pattern for optimal health benefits (otherwise known as “Laplace” formula). The result: a gradient compression engineered to guide blood and lymph flow back to the heart.

Gradient Compression

Our leggings have a graduated compression of 8-13mmHg from thigh to ankle.

Built with precision

Our team spends countless hours calculating the exact amount of compression needed to ensure maximum results. 

What to expect from your Optimize-Everything Compression

Boosted immunity

With the right inputs, your lymphatic system flows through the body like super rivers, clearing out debris from every cell for a brighter, more vibrant immune system. Lymphatic compression helps power this process.

Improved digestion

Lymphatic health is immune health, which is also gut health. Targeting lymphatic wellbeing helps to strengthen the immune system—and 70% of your immune system lives in the gut. Better digestion is just a wear away.

Reduced swelling

Perfect for long work, recovery or travel days, compression applies pressure to keep fluids from building up in the extremities. Don’t worry about extended inactivity—MicroPerle® and compression keep your lymph flowing.

Smoother skin

Firm and smooth skin is easier than ever. A study showed women wearing our compression three times a week for 45 minutes of exercise experienced visible improvement in skin texture.

More energy

Our research-based compression fabric hugs tighter at the ankle and looser up the leg for targeted muscle support. Improved proprioception, reduced muscle fatigue and vibrations make for the best kind of workouts—and energy.

Powered By Results

One clear solution for healthier skin and circulation.

Smoother Skin

The results of a study indicate that our compression leggings improves the overall appearance and texture of the skin.

Because results fuel our day-to-day, in 2018 we partnered with a renowned dermatology test lab in Houston, TX to conduct a third-party study before launching our first leggings in 2019. The results showed that women wearing l'Original leggings over 8 weeks, 3x a week, for 1 hour of exercise experienced a visible improvement in skin texture and reduced signs of cellulite.

Better Circulation

Thermography testing captures the significant difference in lymphatic circulation due to our compression leggings.

In a 2023 clinical study, digital infrared thermal imaging—a safe alternative to mammograms—showcased Elastique's impressive impact on lymphatic circulation. Test subjects wore L'Original Leggings for 8-10 days, for 3-6 hours each day. The results? Improved lymphatic flow, with 'before' readings showing congestion and 'after' readings indicating enhanced circulation in the legs and buttocks.

Our Research

We stay on top of the latest developments in lymphatic and compression science, so you don’t have to.

“This study demonstrates that externally applied compression positively influences muscle oxygenation dynamics at the onset of exercise, showing a faster increase in tissue oxygenation and a correlation between applied compression levels and recovery rates.”
