How a Cellulite Body Wrap Works?

Cellulite body wraps consist of a plastic cling or linen sheet (or in some cases a blanket) that is wrapped around areas of the body that you want to treat. For example, you can do a stomach or leg wrap, or even a full wrap.

Underneath this sheet, a layer of natural compounds is applied. These ingredients are designed to target issues in the area that are causing the cellulite to appear prominent. Seaweed Extract is uniquely potent working in the subcutaneous level of the skin. Thanks to a powerful mix of all-natural marine and herbal ingredients the improve skin circulation leaving your skin incredibly firm, renewed and tightened.

Once the compounds and cling have been applied, you will need to keep it on for between 30 and 40 minutes. During this time you will typically sweat beneath the sheet. This is of benefit as it will further help to reduce the appearance of cellulite in the area. Sweating will also cause the skin to detox at a surface level which is ideal for such treatment.

Body wraps for cellulite reduction are often incorporated into salon treatments. However, with the amazing range of at-home products available nowadays, you can use a wrap treatment therapy without using a salon service. If you get a wrap done at a salon, it will often take the form of a full body treatment. When you do a wrap at home, you will be able to target specific areas and for example, only do an arm wrap if that is what you feel you need.

Is There Any Discomfort?

No. Body wraps do no cause pain or discomfort unless they are applied too tightly.

What you will feel however is a sensation of heat. This is good because it means that you will begin to sweat and this will cause the release of toxins from the skin in the area that is wrapped. The "tingling sensation" also indicates that body warp active ingredients boosted your tissues and skin microcicrulation.

Are There Any Other Benefits?

Besides being able to reduce the appearance of cellulite, body wraps also nourish, hydrate and detox the skin. Some wraps, such as the ones we recommend from GUAM products are also slimming and toning.

Because all of the all-natural active ingredients in seaweed body wrap are beneficial compounds for the skin, your dehydrate skin will be left feeling not only toned and taught, but silky soft and smooth as well protecting your skin from dehydration. This is because the product is better able to absorb into your skin in the environment under the wrap than if you were to simply apply lotion to bare skin.
