What does a detox wrap treatment entail?
– Body exfoliation
– Contour cream application
– Body contouring with plastic wrap
Full body exfoliation prepares the skin for better product absorption. Contour cream increases lymph flow and blood circulation to release toxins and break down cellulite. Plastic wrap, specifically designed for body wraps, stimulate acupressure points and flush waste materials from the body.
After that you lie down relaxing in warm cocoon on a bed for u approximately 60 minutes allowing the cream to absorb and toxins to start moving into the lymphatic system.
During this time you might opt in to have a facial OR a ½ hour massage as a way to pass the time OR simply take a nap.
How should I prep before first wrap?
2 days before wrap please drink at least ½ your body weight in ounces of water but don’t drink an hour before the wrap to avoid having to go to the restroom while you are wrapped. Example: weight = 120lbs, drink at least 60oz. of water daily. Continue that habit forever!
The cream we use for detox wrap stays in your system for up to 3 days. It is important to avoid any toxins intake for 3 days after detox wrap: caffeine, alcohol, red meat, refined sugar, white flour and carbonated drinks.
How long is detox wrap session?
It takes around 75 minutes.
How often should I receive body wraps?
It depends on your goal. Most of our Clients do series of 3-6 detox wraps spacing them every 4-7 days apart for optimal results. Having a wrap more often could cause a niacin build-up in the body resulting in an adverse reaction to the cream.
Receiving detox wraps every few days than every few weeks gives Client faster and long lasting results. (See our Yelp reviews). After that there is just a maintenance- once or twice a month.
What are typical results?
If your primary goal is to detox the body and lose weight, we strongly suggest to do either an 11-day or 21-day detoxification program. On average our clients lose approximately 4-10 lbs. during these programs but some of them loose even 20-30 lbs.
Results depend really on your body toxicity and how well you follow the program. The more toxic you are probably, more you have to lose.
Do I need to exercise or wear a suit during detox wrap?
No. There is no exercise involved during the session. You should exercise the day after the wrap. In the day of the wrap you shouldn’t exercise for at least 6 hours after the wrap as sweating will reduce absorption of the cream.
What should I wear to be wrapped?
We recommend to bring two piece swimsuit or be ready to wear your own bra and underwear during appointment or uses disposable garment that we offer.
Keep in mind, the cream needs to be applied in the areas where you want to experience toxins reduction or inch loss.
Who shouldn’t receive detox wrap?
People with heart conditions (specifically conditions requiring coumadin), epilepsy, that have had cancer that is not in remission or in remission less than a year, or are pregnant or nursing should NOT be wrapped.
I had a reaction to the wrap, what should I do?
Adverse reactions are mostly caused by toxic bodies and/or sensitivity to an ingredient in the cream (most commonly the niacin). We would recommend that one is not wrapped again until one has completed an internal detoxification program.
If reaction happened after first wrap:
Take a bath with 2 cups of baking soda and soak. Apply “Repair” cream to the affected areas. For severe reaction take Benadryl or another antihistamine. Make sure you are drinking ½ your body’s weight in ounces of water daily to flush out the niacin.
If your reaction was after your 2nd or later wrap:
Occasionally one can experience a niacin build up in their body. Follow the directions above but to completely eliminate the adverse effects, you will need to exercise to flush the niacin out of the body.
