Slimming Body Wrap

Losing weight is never easy but with a slimming body wrap you should be able to lose at least a little weight easily. Dieters do agree that a good exercise routine is necessary to lose weight. But along with exercise, it’s also necessary to carry out regular slimming body wrap procedures along with dieting to lose that stubborn weight.

Why do you need regular slimming body wraps?
We all know that exercise and dieting can help you lose weight. But what you don’t know is that even with the best exercise routine, you will eventually plateau in weight. That means, you will exercise away but there will be no more weight loss. This stubborn body weight can be lost with a slimming body wrap. In fact, most trainers will recommend the use of a sauna or slimming body wrap to help you lose those last few pounds that have stuck to your body. There are many slimming body wraps that are expressly designed to increase circulation and draw out toxins from your body as quickly as possible.

How are slimming body wraps applied and used?
The exact ingredients that are used in slimming body wraps will vary considerably. For example, some salon specialists will use algae wraps while others will use fruit based wraps to draw water out from the body. People who want to use the slimming body wraps will have to first consult with the salon technician. The salon technician will carry out a whole body exfoliation procedure to remove the superficial layers of dead skin. A full application of the pack is done. The patient is then wrapped from head to toe with the elastic bandages, followed by plastic wrap and finally with a thermal bandage. These bandages will draw out the water from the body and raise body heat to melt cellulite that is accumulated on different parts of the body. The packs may also contain essential oils and cosmetic compounds that will soothe the skin and increase skin tone. Results are usually seen immediately but doctors do recommend that you continue with an increased work out routine. This will ensure that the weight that was lost during the slimming body wrap will stay off.

What is the average cost of a slimming body wrap?
The average cost of a slimming body wrap will vary considerably. Body wraps usually cost anywhere from $100 to about $500 depending on the materials that was used. The cost may seem a little high but the procedure usually lasts for one hour. Some salons may also carry out a complete body exfoliation and shower followed by the slimming body wrap. After the slimming body wrap, the client is also massaged with body lotion and then allowed to relax for twenty minutes.

Weight Loss Body Wraps: How Do They Work?

Weight loss body wraps are specifically designed to help a person lose weight. Different mineral ingredients, healthy weight loss masks and clay cellulite weight loss body wraps can be combined in different combinations to encourage a person to lose weight.

How Do Weight Loss Body Wraps Work?
Weight loss body wraps are wrapped around the client’s body and held in place with thick or thin bandages. The client is then wrapped with plastic sheets and thermal bandages. The thermal bandages generate heat which opens up skin pores and encourages toxins to be flushed out of the body in the form of sweat. The ingredients in the weight loss body wraps also percolate into the skin pores releasing their beneficial properties into the skin. The heat generated by the ingredients and the thermal blanket also cause vasodilation, increased metabolism levels and blood supply and melting of the cellulite inside skin resulting in weight loss.

Where Can I Find Good Weight Loss Body Wraps?
There are several spas that deal exclusively with weight loss body wraps. We suggest you find good spas that also have a medical consultant to help you choose and use the weight loss body wraps.

Are There Restrictions To The Use Of Weight Loss Body Wraps?
Yes, there are and you should inform your spa technician immediately if you are pregnant or if you have medical conditions like high blood pressure, heart conditions, claustrophobia, low blood pressure, eczema, psoriasis and allergies. Please inform the technician especially if you are taking medications for chronic medical conditions.

How Should You Prepare For Weight Loss Body Wraps?
After you make the appointment with the spa, you will be provided with a list of instructions on how to prepare for the weight loss body wraps. A few general precautions you have to follow include the following:

-Ingredients of weight loss body wraps are difficult to wash off. As a result, most salons will ask you to wear simple disposable clothing for the appointment. You can wear disposable underwear or swimwear and some salons will provide you with clothing for the weight loss body wraps appointment. A few salons will also provide supportive underwear that you can wear after the weight loss body wraps for the next two days to prevent the weight from coming back.

-Remember to take a bath before the appointment but you should avoid shaving or doing any kind of intensive skin treatment before weight loss body wraps. Avoid tanning and sugaring as well before the weight loss body wraps.

-Hydrate yourself before the weight loss body wraps, during the appointment and after it as well.

-After being wrapped, you will be left alone for one hour. If you are not comfortable with being left alone make sure that you inform the salon technician beforehand.

Make sure that you measure yourself before the weight loss body wraps and after to register the weight loss.
