What Can You Expect?
With our infrared body wraps, you’ll see smoother, tighter skin and a slimmer appearance, all without surgery. This procedure is painless. Most patients experience a warm sensation for the first few hours following a treatment and in some cases the skin may also appear red during that time. With our recommended 3 to 6 treatments (spaced 3 to 7 days apart), you’ll find that your clothes are looser and many patients see a total circumference reduction of 3 inches or more. Cellulite will also be minimized. Body wraps are also great to help with post-baby bounce back. Patients will see full results within 6 to 8 weeks of treatments. For longer lasting effects of body wraps, it is recommended that patients eat a well balanced diet and exercise at least 3 times a week.
Added Benefits
In addition to a newly sculpted, more toned body, body wraps provided other benefits. They also help detoxify your system, ridding your body of potentially harmful impurities. Some of the conditions that body wraps are shown to help with include: Fibromyalgia, arthritis, eczema, soft tissue injuries, neurodermatitis and menstrual pain.
FAQ
Here are some of the most common questions asked about Body wraps
Can you get rid of cellulite using a body wrap?
With women, cellulite is a prevalent issue. The higher skin layers’ tenacious fat cells are challenging to eliminate. Cellulite is defined as the retention of fluid and the expansion of certain fat cells in the connective tissues of the upper layers of the skin. Cellulite develops as a result of toxins building up and fluid retention due to impaired circulation. Cellulite is less noticeable thanks to the body wrap technique, which also tightens pores and detoxifies the skin’s layers.
Can I Get A Body Wrap After A Cancer Treatment?
No and yes. It is not advised that you get a body wrap if you have received cancer treatment within the last two years (due to toxins being stirred up in the circulatory system). One may get a body wrap with their doctor’s approval after being cancer-free for more than two years.
Should I Avoid Body Wraps When Pregnant?
No. Toxins are stirred up in the body during pregnancy, thus we would always recommend waiting to utilize any products that are detoxifying to the body.
Do Body Wraps Provide Permanent Benefits?
No, body wraps can’t provide you any permanent benefits since their effects are temporary! But they can greatly help you out with temporary skin hydration and detoxification, sadly these results fade within just few days as the body starts to rehydrate. But if you use body wraps with clay or seaweed then skin elasticity and texture can be improved with regular use. But it’s not guaranteed that they will provide you with lasting weight loss or cellulite reduction, which is why if you are looking fir long-term improvements you should just maintain a healthy diet, exercise daily, and focus on skincare. Body wraps may be able enhance relaxation and circulation but they are temporary, so it’s better if you try out other permanent solutions.
How Often I Should Get A Body Wrap Treatment?
How often you should get a body wrap will depend on the type of body wraps you are using and your goals. If your goals are hydration and skin nourishment, then it’s better to use them once a week, if it’s for detox or slimming effects then a series of treatment for about once or twice a week for few weeks can be a great choice. Remember their overuse may lead to skin irritation or dehydration, so it’s better to keep their use in check. And since they aren’t permanent solutions, consider following proper skincare and diet to keep the results last longer.
Can Body Wraps Help With Back Acne or Other Skin Issues?
Yes, body wraps can help you out with skin issues like dryness, mild inflammation and detoxification but if you are using them for back acne, then the results can vary. It’s because body wraps can’t treat the root causes of acne, which can include bacteria, hormones and diet, so it might not be the best idea to get them for acne.
How many body wraps would it take for me to see results?
Many individuals only wrap when they want to lose inches right away, and it works great for those special times as well as for fast, noticeable results. A series of wraps is advised for even greater results.
The amount of cellulite that has developed, the percentage of body fat you are attempting to decrease, and your skin type will all influence how often you should wrap.
Once or twice a week until you attain your goals, we advise wrapping. Do a body wrap once a month to maintain the results and for detoxifying purposes.
