Has anyone had a body wrap?

Question

I was thinking about getting a body wrap before I go to the beach for vacation. I was just wondering if it actually works (reduction of cellulite, inches lost). If anyone has had one please tell me what you thought.

Answer 1

Advantages: Soft Skin, Firmer Skin, Instant Inch Loss
Disadvantages: Can be claustrophobic, wrapped up like a mummy, price

I had heard about the Universal Contour Body Wraps and what they are meant to do. Curiousity got the better of me and I now highly recommend them. I have listed below as much as I have possibly researched on them, as well as my own experience. I hope you find it helpful.

Benefits
 Exfoliates and cleanses your skin, detoxifies your body, tightens loose tissue and guarantees exceptional and lasting inch loss.
 Can be used to target stubborn extra inches
 Gives anyone on a diet a great start to their slimming plan
 Firms and tightens the skin after pregnancy, or loss of weight
 Is an ideal preparation for holidays or special occasions
can just be enjoyed as a refreshing "detox"

What happens?

You are asked to fill in a medical form and are shown into a room where you undress. You are given a “lovely sexy” paper thong to put on. They take your current weight and height and record it. It's a good idea to go to the toilet at this stage if you need too, as when you are wrapped you can't go for about 45-1 hour.

The person wrapping you then takes several measurements of your body, starting from your chest and finishing at your ankles and wrists. They mark the places with a pen to ensure they measure the same parts afterwards.

In a large container is a murky brown liquid. This is the mineral clay solution in which are lots of elastic bandages soaking ready for application. They are in warm water so you won’t freeze whilst they are being applied. The bandages are applied from shoulders to ankle. You feel and look like an Egyptian mummy when finished!!

Once covered in these clay soaked bandages, (which do not smell nasty) you are helped into a rubber tracksuit and booties to help aid the soaking process. You then sit on a chair in a body steamer for around ½ hr where heat basically makes you sweat.
You are then unwrapped. You tend to get a lot of water/sweat sloshing around in your boots, which is rather unpleasant. It also gets a bit chilly as the bandages come off, but you can put a towel round you and when the bandages are completely off you are able to dry yourself off. After you have done this you are then measured again on the marks made previously to see how many inches you have lost. They guarantee a minimum of 6 inches on the first wrap.
Aftercare.

Once the details are recorded, there is an aftercare regime to stick to for 3-4 days to aid continuing inch loss. They recommend that you drink 3-4 pints of water daily, lay of tea, coffee and caffeine, and stay off salt and fried and fatty foods. This is so you don’t put back the toxins that have just been drawn out of you that cause the inch loss. They also recommend that you hold off showering or bathing for ideally 3-4 days. This is because the clay leaves a residue on your body for these few days which continues to pull out the toxins.

They recommend having the wraps about 1 week - 10 days apart and after a course of 3 you are normally 'wrapped up', meaning that they have drawn out as many toxins as they can for now. It is recommended to have one every six months just to keep everything toned and firm.

The inch loss is guaranteed as long as you don't go putting any weight back on. They say that once you lose 2 inches all over your body then you go down a dress size.

If you want a bit of a treat I would thoroughly recommend it!

Why it works?

A Word about Toxins - Toxin accumulation is due to age, illness. Medications, stress, improper diet, smoking. Drinking, lack of exercise and weight loss (which, due to fat breakdown is very toxic). This is further complicated for women with hormonal changes and pregnancy. In women, these fluids accumulate from waist to the knees and in men, from the abdomen up through to the face and throat.

When the skin and kidneys become overloaded, toxins are stored in the fluid between the fat cells. They are called interstitial fluids which means 'between the fat cells' These fluids are not removed by any normal process. You cannot 'diet' them away, exercise them away or sauna them away.

These fluids have been tested and they are nothing that you would want to retain in your body. When we unwrap someone who is particularly toxic, an odour such as alcohol, nicotine or medication is often acutely detected in the contouring wraps. Many people are wrapped for the cleansing benefits as well as the inch loss and reshaping. The cleansing of toxins from the skin and soft adipose tissue through wrapping is our goal with the Universal Contour wrap.

A Word about Elasticin. - Elasticin (or elastin) is what holds and maintains the shape of the soft tissue and skin. Elasticin becomes increasingly inhabited as toxins accumulate. Fat acts as a sponge for storing toxins. When fat breaks down (through weight loss) copious amounts of toxins will be released and absorbed into the remaining fat and colloidal tissue layers. This further inhabits the elasticin and results in tissue that can appear to look worse, rather than better through weight loss. The Universal Contour Wrap helps to tighten this loose, saggy tissue.
By our revitalising elasticin we give the body the ability to grab hold of the 'shape' we have moulded it to under the pressure of the contouring wraps, along with the ability to maintain it. This moderate pressure also brings the skin closer, thus limiting the fatty layer under the skin to its normal form.



How it works?

It works by "osmosis". Osmosis is the passage of fluids through a membrane or other porous substance. Osmosis occurs when the Sea Clay solution draws out the impurities through the pores. The gentle pressure of the contouring wraps and the solution also works to stimulate the latent toxins in the adipose tissue and in return these toxins are flushed out through the aid of the lymphatic system. It is very important to drink water for several days after the wrap to help the cleansing process.

The inch/centimetre loss is achieved through the compacting of the soft fatty tissue and skin tightening. As the weight is lost, the fat cells are broken down and toxins released and stored in the tissue and the fluid around the fat cells.

Price usually around £45 per ¾ wrap or £50 per full wrap (full wrap includes chest and arms) they recommend a course of 3 where they tend to take 10% off.

Universal Body Wrap

Answer 4

The only type of body wrap I've had is called a Sea Weed wrap.
It wasn't for cellulite or losing inches.
But it made me tan really good that summer and made my skin feel amazingly soft and smooth.
I loved it and would definitely get it done again, the only reason I haven't is b/c I just don't have the time.
But wow, if there is a wrap that could actually make you lose inches? Please share! =)

Answer 6

Yes I just had one 2 weeks ago. It is a temporary reduction in inches due to water loss. The wrap gets rid of toxins in your body and drains you of water and it is asked that you drink 6 glasses of water after the wrap to do the trick.

My skin got very firm and those results have stayed with me, however the inches are back!

Answer 7

There are three main ways to lose weight quickly.

1) Use only water as liquid and eliminate all other liquid drinks from your diet. You must drink as much water as possible every day. You must drink about half of your weight. If you have weight of 200 pounds then you must drink about 100 oz of water.

2) The interval between the eating is very important. If you eat once, then you must eat next after 4 hours. You must take breakfast regularly. In the night eat your food three hours before going to bed.

3) Walking is very good. You must walk as much as you can. Walk everywhere you can. Use of elevators and escalators must be reduced and instead of these you must climb stairs more often.

These are some of the fastest ways to lose weight. By just following the simple steps, you can lose your weight very quickly. You must consult your doctor if want to change your diet or exercise routine.

I was shy, I didn't want to be the centre of attention, I didn't like getting my picture taken. Yes, I had to speak in public, and that was because it was for my job. So I would get up there and I would speak, .but I really didn't want anyone to really be looking at me.

Since I've lost my weight, it's more like look at me, look what I've done. And I feel good about myself. I bought a new wardrobe. I get up there, I speak in front of people, and it's fantastic. It's the best thing I've ever done in my life.

Music enables you to eat more. According to a study by the journal Psychology as well as Marketing, soft, classical tunes encourage that you take time over your dinner, so you consume more food. So, switch off – silence will make you more aware of what you’re putting in your mouth.

Answer 10

I've tried it once and they claimed that I had lost total of 10 inches but I don't believe them. Didn't really feel thinner afterwards. I think you need to get it done more than once to see some results.

Answer 11

Music making you eat more. According to research by the journal Psychology along with Marketing, soft, classical tunes encourage that you take time over your dinner, so you consume more food. So, switch off – silence is likely to make you more aware of what you’re investing in your mouth.
