Could a Home Body Wrap Help Weight Loss?

The prospect of having a slimmer figure may entice you to consider having a body wrap. However, you may wonder if it is really possible to lose pounds and inches after an hour-long beauty treatment. Before you invest ££££'s for this treatment usually costs, understand its true benefits.




Method

During the procedure, you wrap your torso, arms, legs and neck with elastic cloths. The cloths may be presoaked in a solution of herbs and minerals. 

Results

Do not have a body wrap simply through an attempt to lose weight. Dr. Joel Schlessinger, president of the American Society of Cosmetic Dermatology and Aesthetic surgery says, "The use of body wraps as weight loss is clearly more hocus-pocus than anything." Though you could lose between five to 10 pounds of water weight during a treatment, the toxins and fluids quickly re-accumulate; so does the weight. Wraps do not provide a permanent solution for weight loss.

Benefits

Ingredients in body wraps, such as seaweed and aloe vera, hydrate and moisturize the skin. Your skin may feel softer after a body wrap. Mud and clay heat the body during a wrap, so they can boost a sluggish metabolism. Herbal wraps may tighten the skin and diminish the appearance of cellulite.They are also excellent for a quick temporary weight loss solution and over time can make the skin appear firmer and less dimpled. Combine these with exercise and a healthy diet for optimum benefit.

Ensure you drink plenty of fluids before and after doing a wrap to ensure you do not dehydrate.

If you're looking for a quick short term weight loss treatment in time for Christmas or holiday, this may well be the answer.
