An Introduction to Body Wraps
Body wraps have
now evolved from
the
European style
sea clay and
mud wraps to
Aloe Vera based
all-natural body
wrap kits and
now "electronic"
body wrap
devices have
emerged.
This webpage
will introduce
you to each type
and style of
body wrap with
links to
commercial
products so you
can determine
which method is
best for you or
clients.
It is important
to understand
the science
behind each
application type
because the
body
wrapping styles
can range from
pulling toxins
and water from
your skin with
mud to
stimulating
cells at the
molecular level.
The term "body
wrap" has
also been
referred to a
woman's line of
underwear that
acts as a
corset, a
"weight-lifters-belt-looking"
device with
blue LED therapy,
or a mummy
wrapped in ace
bandages soaked
in mud.

wrap kits here.
Pictured here is
the
iWrap infrared
body wrap system
which
is
the no-mess
alternative to
traditional
American body
wraps which
cover your body
you in a formula
or solution.
The concept of
an "infrared"
wrap is to raise
your core body
temperature
until you
burn about 900
to 1400 calories
in one 50 minute
session.
This feat is
accomplished
while you are
fully clothed
and in a prone
position and can
be watching TV
or reading.
This
type of infrared
body wrap process is
said to increase
circulation,
breakdown fat,
and removes
toxins.
Not advertised
as an
"inch-loss"
product, but a
true weight-loss
program when
combined with
proper diet and
exercise (like
all the others).
In summary, the
science is there
for this iWrap
technology to
work by raising
your core
temperature and
burn fat.
Decide if this
method is better
suited for your
business or
personal use.
Retail price is
$9,999 and each
session is sold
for about $60 in
salons.
Shown here are
the
classic body
wrap formulas
for sea mud and
Aloe Vera
which have been
used in day spas
and salons since
the days of
Cleopatra.
The concept of
wrapping your
entire body in
mud-soaked
bandages laced
with nutrients
and all natural
products and
allowing this
mud to dry for
an hour while it
literally pulls
the water and
toxins from your
body, is not a
new one.
You can fully
expect to lose
10-20 inches
total from
around your
waist, thighs,
arms and legs
but this is
water weight
that you will
gain back in
time. But
really who
cares, right?
If you need to
get into a tight
dress or feel
special about
yourself for one
night, then this
is your ticket.
You can buy home
body wrap kits
with the same
formulas for
less than $100
and you can
offer body
wrapping
services in your
salon or day spa
for less than
$1,000.
Additionally,
the new spa
capsules, like
the
Hydration
Station
model, is
perfect for the
"soaking" period
of a body wrap.
