What is a body wrap?
A body wrap is a process where your body from head to toe is wrapped with bandages that are soaking in a detoxifying/cleansing solution. It helps to visibly slenderize the body, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and tightens and tones the skin,

Is a body wrap painful?
No. People report that the feeling of being tightly wrapped reminds them how the body should be. 

Is any lotion or pastes used during the wrap?
No. The bandages are soaking in a solution of your choice. All solutions are cleansing and detoxifying with different minerals, herbs and other healthy ingredients.

Does a body wrap have to be a full wrap or I can have a partial wrap done for the area of my choice?
Because the body wrap is a cleansing process, although locally, it is recommended to do a full wrap. The whole body has to take a part in the cleansing rather than only a small area. For example you cannot wash only one cheek of the face and consider the whole face washed! You will not get the same results. Same principle applies here and you may get the results to a lesser extent and might lose them faster.

Can I lie down and rest during this one hour if I chose to?
Yes, you can. However it is recommended that you use the machine that is helpful to keep blood actively circulating. It is very relaxing and pleasing activity.

Does body wrap help cellulite?
Yes. It reduces the appearance of cellulite. Cellulite is a reflection of accumulated acid waste in the body. The wrap helps to mobilize the toxic waste thereby leading in reduction of its appearance. A few wraps done at shorter intervals may show a significant decrease.

Is there a noticeable change after the first body wrap?
Yes, depending on the body. As you know, the solution(s) is the same that is used. However each person's body is different. The age, gender, life style, stress situation, eating habits and other ongoing activities in an individual's life will make a difference in getting the results. Some people get exciting results the very first wrap whereas some may not get that kind of response because the bodies are different.

Can I compare the results of body wrap to having a surgical treatment?
It is difficult to answer because everybody's criteria of achieving a result is different. The body wrap is a natural healthy way to lose the inches thereby tightening the body. It also depends on how many wraps you do in a certain time frame.

How long does it take to do a body wrap?
It takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs to do the wrap. This includes the weighing and measuring before and after the wrap.

How long you are in the wrap?
You are in the wrap for 1 hour.

Are you hot in the wrap?
No. Actually you get a little cold during the wrap. A plastic sheet is used to cover you so you can maintain the body heat and not get too cold.

What do I do for this one hour in the wrap?
You will be fairly active during this period. The movement keeps the blood circulating, which helps and promotes the bodily cellular functions. Even when you lay down, the Chi machine (a therapeutic massager) helps the body to keep moving. 

Does the body wrap help water retention?
Yes. The body retains water due to the toxic waste accumulation. When the waste is mobilized, the water retention by the body obviously gets less.

Would the body wrap dehydrate the body?
Not at all. Actually the body wrap will help to hydrate the body. This is due to the nature of the solution used. There are other services that Slimmer Body offers to hydrate the body well.

Do you lose water during the body wrap?
No. You lose the toxic acid waste during the wrap. 

Do you lose weight after the wrap?
Not directly. However if the body is functioning better, then everything in the body improves. That may lead into some weight loss. Consider a house being cleaned. Would it smell fresher as it gets cleaned? Of course, but to clean the whole body may take some time.

How would my skin feel after the wrap?
People report the skin feels nice, soft and fresh after a wrap.

Do you lose the inches (6" to 30") in one place?
No. The body wrap is an overall re-contouring and reshaping process. Therefore the inch loss is distributed through out the body. The final inch loss is a cumulative inch loss overall your body.

Will the body wrap help if my fat is unevenly distributed, either above my waist or below it?
Yes, it would be targeted to achieve that. The purpose of body wrap is to balance the body and bring more shape to it.

How many wraps should I do?
It is recommended that you set up an appointment to discuss your goals. That will help to identify the number of wraps, duration between the wraps, and other helping services that can enhance the results of the wraps.

How fast will I lose the results of the body wrap?
It generally depends on how you treat your body. If you put back the toxins that you released during the wrap back in your system thru diet, drinking, smoking or through other environmental pollution, you will lose the results at the same pace. However, if you treat yourself well, then you only need to do some maintenance wraps in a year.

How can I increase the results of the body wrap?
