How does the Body Wrap work?
The Body Wrap works by shrinking the size of your fat cells.
Herbal extracts, minerals and amino nutrients are applied warm to open pores and draw out toxic accumulations from the skin and soft tissue layers. This aids the body to further breakdown fat. Pressure wraps compact the detoxified fatty tissues that are left, reducing all over measurements in the areas that need it most.
The herbs, and sea vegetation, and minerals provide nutrients which penetrate our cell walls and cause the lipids (fatty material) inside our cells to be released into the lymphatic system. The fat is then circulated naturally and carried out through the normal elimination process of the body.

The Body wrap releases toxins and replaces them with minerals your body needs. The aloe base works as a carrier, transporting this unique formula to the adipose layer, breaking down hardened toxic tissue (cellulite) on contact. This results in inch loss, detoxification, and smoother and firmer skin.

Consider your skin is your largest living and BREATHING organ of your body. Every day, your body is assaulted by harmful air pollution, smoking, harmful ingredients from lotions, soaps, perfumes, dangerous cleaning chemicals, UV rays, and even the wind.

Harmful chemicals get trapped in our fat cells. It behooves us to clean our body INSIDE and OUT. Doing Body Wraps help you do this. So besides shrinking your fat cells and reducing inches, you benefit from a more toxic-free body.

How long does the inch loss last?
As long as you follow a healthy diet and lifestyle, the lost inches should not return for at least thirty days.

As toxins gradually build up in your body tissue, inches will gradually return over time, depending entirely on your diet and lifestyle. Avoiding toxin-laden foods will substantially retard the inch gain.


What does the body wrap do for skin?
Skin appears smoother and tighter after wrapping. Many of people enjoy doing a body wrap after weight loss, pregnancy or just to help reduce the signs of aging.


Can it help a double chin or round face?
Wrapping the head or chin is part of the complete body wrap, we recommend that you wrap your face when you wrap your entire body.


What about problem hips, thighs and legs?

You can spot treat, wrap problem areas as needed.


Is this a safer alternative to obesity surgery or lipo suction?
Yes. And it costs you much, much less.

However, it's impossible to reduce the NUMBER of fat cells in your body without surgery.

Instead, this safe alternative reduces the SIZE of your fat cells. You get the same effect as surgery (unwanted inches) in a much safer way. You don't risk the potentially dangerous complications of surgery either.


How will I look?
Most people look generally 6-20 inches (composite whole body loss) slimmer on their first wrap alone. We always take into consideration that each person is different and may have specific goals in mind. So note, results vary.


How long does a Body Wrap take?
A Body Wrap session takes 1 hour if you gently exercise, 1 1\2 hours if you do not. Allow an extra 20-30 minutes in your session for measuring your body using our body measurement charts.

How often can I do Body Wraps?
The body wrap is a safe and effective process and you may do it as often as you wish, however you continue losing inches for 72 hours after the wrap. We suggest for maximum inch loss results that a series of wraps, at least 4-days to a week apart be applied until you reach your maximum results. 4-6 applications may need to be done until you've reached your maximum results. After that, many do 1 body wrap a month to maintain their results, and because it makes the skin so soft and supple.


Is this just a temporary water loss?
No.

The Body Wrap is a firming and toning process which produces results by detoxifying and contouring flesh. There is very little water loss. You will lose more inches than pounds. Be sure to drink plenty of water and rest.


What should I do after the Body Wrap?
It takes about 10 days for the skin to fully adapt to the tissue reduction. You can assist this process to produce maximum results by:

1) Avoid toxic food and drink, such as salt, sugar, fried foods, caffeine, carbonated drink and alcohol for several days after your wrap.

2) Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day to continue the detoxifying process through the bodies natural elimination system. Flushing your system this way will even help you to lose weight.

3) Do not apply lotions, oils, or creams to the wrapped areas or take a bath, swim, for at least 6 hours after your wrap. Then bathe in lukewarm water when needed.

4) After 3 days, Take a hot bath (or shower) to open your pores and flush the toxins out.


What do I need to wear?
In order to maximize the coverage of your wrap we suggest you wrap nude or wear thin, cotton undergarments or a skimpy swim suit to be wrapped in. There may be slight discoloration of any garment worn.



Do Body Wraps involve exercise?
The Body Wrap System will reduce inches with or without exercise.

Though the resistance of the wraps will increase the benefits of any level of movement undertaken while wrapped. We have found that gentle exercise or being in a sauna suit will maximize the benefits of the body wrap.



Will I lose weight with the wraps?
A slimmer appearance, inch loss, not pounds, are what our body wraps are designed for. Any weight you lose is a bonus!


 
Does this involve dieting?
No dieting is required for inch-loss.

However, Aloe & Herbal Body Wrap is the perfect partner for a diet. Losing weight causes the breakdown of fat, releasing more toxins in the soft tissues, frequently resulting in loose, "flabby" looking flesh. The detoxifying and sculpturing wrap will firm and tighten this flesh to show the full benefits of your weight loss.


How many inches will I lose?
It depends upon your body type (the proportion of soft fatty tissue to muscle mass) and the amount of loose skin you have.

Most clients average a 4 to 10 inch loss the first and again the second wrap, and about half as much the following wraps. Many clients have body wraps for skin tightening and cellulite reduction while others seek the therapeutic benefits of detoxification.
 


 

Are there any medical considerations?
There are no specific conditions that are listed as strict contraindications for getting a wrap; however, common sense dictates.



If you are on medication or have any physical problems, you should consult your physician. We do recommend all women that are pregnant or nursing to refrain from using our body wrap system


 
What safety concerns should I have with Body Wrapping?
You must follow the written instructions carefully for each application and drink plenty of water before, during and after treatments. We are not after inch loss due to dehydration.


Will Body Wraps help cellulite?
As you probably know, cellulite is waterlogged fatty issue. One of the first things women with this problem report is the loss of many of their fat dimples and ripples within the first few wraps. Results, however, can be seen from the very first wrap.

What is meant by "total inch loss?"
Before your do the Body Wrap, you take measurements of various parts of your body and record them on your own personal Body Record Chart with notes as to where you want to lose inches and/or change shape.

After the wrap, you re-measure and the loss is recorded. These losses are added to determine "total inch loss".

How many wraps will I need?
That depends on several things: how many inches you wish to lose, the number of inches lost per wrap, how much loose skin you have, how active you are in your wrap, your commitment to a weight loss program, etc.

To maximize your losses you ideally need to wrap once or twice a week until your skin is tight, you have no cellulite and you look great in and OUT of clothes.

It's safe to wrap two, three, or four times a day if time is a factor for upcoming events (i.e. weddings, reunions, photo shoots, etc.).

How much weight will I lose?
The body wrap was designed to take off inches rather than pounds.

Who will the body wrap help?
Anyone who wants to tone and tighten their skin. People with overly dry/rough skin. People with loose skin from weight changes and pregnancy. Men and women who want to look terrific fast! Anyone who wants to look and feel younger!

If I don’t have months before a special event, can I get wrapped several times in one week?
YES you can.

Many people only have a few weeks or even a few DAYS to get ready for a special event. You can wrap as often as you would like, and you will still receive the benefits of inch-loss as well as the tightening of skin.

If need be, you can wrap several times in a single day. This is a completely safe herbal/seaweed/mineral solution because it is all natural.

So don’t feel that just because your reunion is only a month away you can’t make a significant change in your appearance because you can.
