Stealth Bomb Cellulite Jeans
Yesterday, someone pointed out a novel use of this new technology aimed directly at the cellulite crowd. Some clever marketing type decided to put tiny amounts of retinol (a derivative of vitamin A) and chitosan (from shellfish) into the micro-capsules that are then embedded into a pair of jeans. They call this stealth bomb cocktail "skintex" and the combination of retinol and chitosan are supposed to stimulate collagen production and reduce fat. The micro-capsules are very tiny, too small to be seen when embedded into the jeans. When these stealth bomb jeans are worn, body heat and heat from the sun and surroundings will slowly cause the micro-capsules to break open and release their anti-cellulite chemicals to be absorbed by the wearer's skin. The manufacturers claim that a pair of their jeans will effectively deliver their stealth bomb payloads for 30 to 50 washings and the more you wear them the better for your baggy booty and lunar thighs. There are plenty of skeptics, including Las Vegas plastic surgeon Jeffrey Roth. "Prove it to me that those two drugs, if you can call it that, actually work. And number two, prove it to me that putting it in a delivery device like a pair of jeans is actually appropriate," Dr. Roth demanded. Who would know better about cosmetic drugs than a Las Vegas plastic surgeon? Of course, he might feel threatened by this cheap approach to reducing cellulite that cuts him out of the action.
