My first experience with body wrapping was in 2005 on a cruise to the Caribbean. For some reason we feel compelled to spend hundreds of dollars on our vacations and I never use spa services until then. A list of cruise ship spa services included the detox body wrap that promised to take inches off the entire body by cleaning out built up toxins.

A a natural skin and supplement advocate, and being bloated as usual on my trip, I thought I would give it a try. Hey, what’s $199 when you have the potential to look hot in your bikini several hours after the treatment?

After wrapping you in bandages doused with an herbal concoction and hooked up to these electrode things, the experience was far from relaxing. On top of that, these spa technicians are trained to sell and boy are they good at making you feel uncomfortable.

Needless to say, after the unwrapping process, you could see the water just pouring off of my body. Whether or not this particular body wrap eliminated water or eliminated toxins didn’t matter because after measuring my waist, thighs, arms and chest, I had lost quite a few inches, the most important being my bloated belly.

My 12 year old daughter was amazed the next morning when I put on my bikini and had a flat stomach. Did body wrapping work? You betcha! Did it last? Hard to say. After a long week of eating, boozing and late nights, a fat belly is inevitable.

Everyone is talking about body wrapping and most everyone knows that you can lose inches fast, sometimes within hours of using them. But what about the other benefits these body wrap sites brag about? Like “lose cellulite” and “lose weight”? Do these body wraps really do what they claim? Yes and No. This is where the experts tend to disagree.

Some experts claim that you are only shedding water weight and that within a day or two your body will be back to the way it was. Others believe that they detoxify your body and using several body wraps over time will help you to lose that stubborn fat hanging around. 

The bottom line is that body wrapping does not and never has burned fat. Fat can only be burned by decreasing calories and increasing activity. There is no scientific evidence proving that body wraps burn fat. I am not going to lie to you and tell you that you can lose 10 pounds from wrapping yourself, because you most likely can’t.

From experience, I can tell you that body wrapping can and will help you shed those few inches hanging around your belly and thighs and it can reduce the appearance of cellulite however I would not count on a home body wrap to help you shed all of your weight. These products do not work miracles. Get yourself to the gym, eat healthy and use body wrapping only to assist you in tightening and toning those last stubborn inches around your middle.

Body wrapping involves covering the body or a specific targeted area of the body with bandages that are either dry or have been soaked in a solution intended to cleanse or detoxify. According to supporters of this highly controversial treatment, after having a body wrap, an individual will lose fat and inches, have less cellulite, and have firmer skin. The person may also feel more energized because many toxins have been eliminated from the system.

Though the bandages or cloth strips are wrapped tightly around the individual during body wrapping, the process is not painful. Some spas offer slimming body wraps that target specific areas, while others encase the entire individual. Either way, there will be visible benefits within the locations that are addressed.

It can take up to two hours to apply the body wrap and the person will be in the bandages for one hour. Once wrapped, the individual can either rest or engage in some light exercise designed to get the blood circulating. The exercises will also encourage the person to sweat, allowing more toxins to be released.

The process of body wrapping can result in noticeable changes after the first treatment. The extent of the results depend on the lifestyle, eating habits, stress, gender, and age of the individual. The wrap will reduce the appearance of cellulite because it removes accumulations of toxic waste in the system. The individual will retain less water due to those toxins being removed.

After body wrapping, the individual will notice that inches will be lost and cellulite will be less visible. Due to the minerals contained in the bandages, the skin will also appear tighter and softer. These results will be present for months to come as long as the individual engages in a healthy lifestyle. Let’s repeat that in words we can all understand.

If you choose to eat sugar, drink soda, eat processed foods and refuse to exercise, nothing, including body wraps will get rid of inches long term.

Some people elect to get the process done more often in order to augment the results, while others may get only one treatment per year. Remember, that if you elect to do home body wraps, results may take longer and several applications will be necessary.
