Body Wraps

[Zola]

Has anyone heard of body wraps for cellulite? I stumbled across this method to reduce cellulite as I was reading about weight loss in another site. It sounds intriguing. I'm eager to know how it is done, how it works to reduce or get rid of the ugly cottage cheese look on one's thighs, and how many sessions are needed to produce visible results.

I have not tried a body wrap either, but a friend of mine did. It helped with the water weight and the look at cellulite, but it was a VERY temporary fix, less than a week in her case.

I am personally a body wrap addict and have been for well over 10 years. There are many on the market to choose from (herbal, mineral, clay base and electrical stimulation and even infrared...some are a relaxation type and others you must do some light movement for an hour) so depending on your preferences you have choices.

All body wrap products are geared to provided some sort of body change...tone, texture, inch loss and diminished cellulite. If quick inch loss is a big concern then a "compression wrap" should be considered. Even though you will get results with the relaxation type, compression will give you a bigger bang for your buck. So look for a good "active mineral wrap" which will help detox and shrink your body a bit.

There are many places around the country that offer all of these types of body wraps as well as a bunch of "at home" products available. It really doesn't matter which type you choose depending on your preference just remember that not all of our bodies are the same and react differently to things...and that is why you will need more than one body wrap to achieve longer lasting results. As a business owner myself, I always would like clients to come to me for their body wraps, but I am also not oblivious to the fact that they will also seek at home products because of the cost factor. If you are wanting a tighter compression active wrap then I would definitely suggest you seeking it at a reputable body wrap provider and get the information you need and a feel for what it is all about...and it is pretty difficult to give yourself a really good compression wrap that will give you the best results. Then you can always order some at home products and do it yourself.

But I believe you must give yourself at least 3 body wraps about 3 days apart to get a really good start on the benefits. Ideally then 2 body wraps the following week and then once a week until a total of 10 wraps are achieved. A few pointers: all of the wraps help to detox the body, over the years I have seen the best results with the active compression mineral wrap, herbals are great for skin care as most have high levels of aloe vera, clays help to "suck out" the water and impurities and really helps to diminish the appearance of cellulite (but make sure after a clay wrap you use a great product to rehydrate the skin as clay can be very drying). One last thing...before you go out and spend a bunch of money for an at home body wrap kit, plan on doing them according to the directions and giving yourself at least three! Sometimes we lose more in the second or even third wrap than we do on the first because our bodies are detoxing....and remember to drink water. Even though some body wraps are for water loss, that is NOT a bad thing as long as you replenish. Sweating and water loss gives away toxins....so just drink water. (half of your weight in ounces each day...especially while doing body wraps)

Thanks Andrea...That was a very informative description of body wraps. I wasn't familiar that there are several types of body wraps available and that the procedure has some sort of a 'detox' effect...It sounds like an interesting body treatment to try out! I just wonder how much a body wrap session would cost, on the average.

Happy to help Zola. On the average an individual body wrap can range from $75 to $150 (some higher or lower depending on location). The places offering the "active compression requires a bit more attention by the body wrap tech, so do run on the higher end. Most spas/salons offering body wraps offer a Series Price, as it is recommended to have at least 3 body wraps. So they typically will offer discounts for a 3, 5 or 10 wrap body wrap series package.

Several months ago, my friend and I did a girl's day out and spent the day at a local day spa. We had seaweed wraps for the first time and we're both wanting to do it on a regular basis now. My skin was so soft and fresh - I felt like I was 20 years younger! I wish I could afford these on at least a monthly basis but alas, I can't right now.

Bodybuilding is the best thing to remove the wraps of the body. Bodybuilding not will be use full to
remove the wraps but it also will be helpful to give the good shape to your body.

I think it’s best when a massage therapist does the body wrap, because they naturally incorporate massage techniques as they apply the product. An esthetician, on the other hand, is not trained in massage.
