The Best Compression Shapewear - Our Story

Michelle Moran is an established entrepreneur with over 20 years of apparel industry experience and a recognized leader promoting social causes through fashion.

In 2007, Michelle started Skineez®, her newest line of compression fabrics. Michelle had learned about cosmetic textiles and recognized their potential in the United States. Her idea for Skineez® came from her experience while wearing compression garments recommended by her doctor after surgery. Experiencing how uncomfortable and drying the garments were, Michelle knew that the industry would benefit from creating wearable skincare.

Skineez® is the only FDA-cleared brand of compression garments. Working with Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Jacofsky of the Core Institute, Michelle proved the skin's elasticity would increase 19% while wearing Skineez®. Only Skineez® compression items are clinically proven to repair the skin.

Skineez® has changed the world of compression wear through its innovative line. Skineez® provides all of the benefits of true medical-grade, graduated compression while protecting the skin's surface. Skineez® is wearable skincare.
