How a Body Wrap Can Spot Reduce Fat |
Let’s start off these reviews by first explaining what a body wrap is. A body wrap is a means by which the body’s problem areas, i.e. areas of the body with excess fat that you want to trim down, can be slimmed down by use of compression and special herbal formulas that draw water out of the skin’s layers to reduce water retention, which accounts for some of the “largeness” of certain body parts, and also helps to (usually temporarily) shrink the fat cells.
You shrink the fat cells via drawing water out of them as well as compressing them, and voila, you have slimmer body parts where you’ve applied the wrap. You can see why body wraps are an appealing beauty treatment to many women, and increasingly men too. Read on below for one in particular that I like that gives excellent results and is reviewed highly by not just me but many, many others who have experienced great reduction in "size".
It’s especially a popular beauty treatment in expensive salons before people have big events where they want to look good and slim, since it usually shows immediate results.
Body wraps usually use bandage-like wrap cloths to wrap the product that is used firmly around the areas of the body being treated, i.e. this is the compression aspect of a body wrap.
The bandage-like wrap can be either wide or narrow, although the narrow does tend to give better control over how tightly you can get it as well as how targeted where you know you have larger bulges. One that I like is the Miracle Slim Body Wrap because the wrap itself is of excellent quality and is thinner and gives you control over where you can apply more compression.
It also contains an excellent natural formula that really makes a difference, not just the first time you use it, but it gives progressively better results with more use, as many other customers can attest to when using this body wrap. It’s been well reviewed by others, not just me, because it has actually helped people take inches off with regular use.
The Miracle Slim wrap has detoxifying ingredients that actually help draw impurities out through the skin, and I’m pretty sure they use menthol as a transdermal facilitator to get the ingredients deep down into the tissue layers to draw out water, and impurities that expand the tissue and add to bulges, including cellulite.
What I mean by “transdermal facilitator” is that menthol is a well known way to help ingredients penetrate the skin to a deeper level and be more effective. It’s used in nicotine patches, and other patches that are applied externally to the skin because of it’s superior abilities to open up the pores and allow everything to penetrate.
You will notice when using this body wrap that it sort of tingles and has a cooling sensation that not only feels great but lets you know it’s working, depositing herbs and other botanicals that are going to draw out all that stuff that causes lumps, bulges and excess baggage.
What are the areas you can use body wraps on to shrink them? Well, the possibilities are pretty much endless. You can use them on the spots that tend to be everyone’s problem areas, such as the love handles, the belly, the buttocks, the thighs (one of my worst areas), the upper arms (lunch lady arms no more!), and the neck and calves (goodbye to the “waddle” or double chin look), and the chest (usually for men of course, most women don’t want their chests to shrink, at least not via a body wrap).
Among those who have reviewed this particular wrap, they say they have lost inches, some say that with time they feel the use of them has dwindled, and they only have to apply maintenance wraps after a while and their results are achieved.
Men and women alike have positively reviewed this particular body wrap because it works on both a man and a woman’s problem spots, helping them to spot reduce the fatty areas that they have the biggest issues with, without spending tons of money.
Sure, body wraps cost some money when doing them yourself, but if you compare this to the $100 you’ll usually spend PER TREATMENT at a salon or aesthetician’s office, then you are saving a boatload by doing it in the comfort of your own home.
The ingredients in body wraps should be all herbal and natural. Just because something is applied topically does not mean it doesn’t make it’s way into the blood stream. As I talked about before, the menthol is an agent that helps “force” ingredients down into the skin, where it is absorbed and becomes integrated with the rest of the body and hence the blood flow.
Be sure when looking at the different home body wraps that are available that you are not getting more than you bargained for.
