How do body wraps work?
The body has 3 layers of fat. Over time, as toxins begin to
accumulate, LIFE, literally shapes our bodies:
The accumulation of the above toxins
in the body causes poor circulation, water retention and the body's
natural elimination process becomes weakened. As toxins accumulate
between the fat cells, the skin begins to take on an orange peel
effect of cellulite as the fat cells expand to accommodate trapped
toxins (demonstrated on the right side of the Body fat diagram
above).
Our body wraps use a detoxifying
solution that is absorbed into the body, extracting toxins from
between the fat cells, and restoring much needed nutrients to the
body. As toxins are removed, empty pockets are formed and the
compression of our advanced wrapping technique creates inch loss,
nourishes, tightens and tones the skin.

How long does it take?
Your first body wrap session is approximately 2 hours. The initial
Pre-Consultaion, first measuring and wrapping will take about 30
minutes. An additional 45 to
60 minutes
are spent in the wraps, and then unwrapping; a second measurement
and dressing take approximately 15 minutes, followed by the
reviewing the results from your first session. For our members and
program holders, the body wrap should take approximately 1 ½ hours.

What should I wear to be
wrapped?
In order to maximize the coverage of
the Contour Wrap, we suggest that women be wrapped in cotton
undergarments, and men are required to wear underwear and gym
shorts. You will be wrapped in warm, damp bandages, so bring an
extra set of dry undergarments for after the wrap.

What should I do after the
wrap?
The body wrap process is still
working in your body for 5-7 days after your body wrap and provides
your body the ability to continue inch loss and tissue reduction.
For continued results, we suggest the following:
- For continued inch loss, wear
contouring clothes like a firm body shaper.
- Since our process is removing
toxins from your body, we encourage you to assist this process by
avoiding toxic foods such as salt, sugar, alcohol, caffeine and
carbonated beverages for several days following the wrap.
- An internal cleanse, which
includes drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water a day, will complete
the detox process by flushing out the toxins.
- We also recommend avoiding creams
or lotions on your areas of concern and by taking lukewarm showers
during this time period.
- In addition, dry brushing increase
circulation and decrease the appearance of cellulite.

How often can I get a body
wrap?
The body wrap is a safe and effective
process that may be done as often as you wish. For inch loss
results, we have found that a series of 6 to 12 wraps-performed at
least 3 days apart--gives most clients the full benefit of the
process. If you are losing weight, a continuing series of treatments
will show results and help tighten the skin to your new shape. Many
people are happy after just one wrap, and others return monthly to
maintain their results and to keep the skin soft and supple.

How many inches will I lose?
Depending upon body type (the
proportion of soft tissue to muscle mass), most clients average an 8
to 10 inch loss on their first wrap, and about half as much on the
second and third wraps. Many customers have body wraps for skin
tightening and cellulite reduction, which does not involve inch
loss, while others seek the therapeutic benefits of detoxification.

Does it involve dieting?
No dieting is required for inch loss;
however, if you are using the Body Wrap Spalon body wraps as part as
your weight loss program, we recommend a body wrap after every 5 to
10 pound loss to help tighten up the skin.

How long does it last?
As long as you maintain your weight
(or lose weight), the lost inches will stay off for at least 2-3
months. Bear in mind that in every day life we continue to take in
toxins through chemicals and preservatives absorbed daily through
the air we breathe, the foods and drinks we consume, and the
products we use on our bodies. As previously noted, the solution is
removing toxins, so introducing toxic substances back into your body
could reverse the effects.
During your post-consultations we
give instructions to help maintain, and lose additional inches lost.
We recommend reducing the amounts of toxins avoiding salt, sugar,
fried foods, alcohol, caffeine and other highly toxic foods.
Regular exercise will also retard the re-toxification process and
prolong your inch-loss results.

Does the
Body Wrap involve exercise?
Our System will reduce inches
with or without exercise, but the benefits of any level of exercise
will increase your results. You can either choose to utilize your
hour in the wrap being active with the mineral wrap, or just sit
back in a massage chair and let our herbal and/or clay solution and
our wrapping technique do all the work for you. Our clients are
happy in either of the wraps and it just depends on what they "feel"
like doing that day, but we do notice a better inch loss is obtain
with our mineral wrap.

Is this just a
temporary water loss?
No! The Body Wrap
Spalon contour wrap is a firming and toning process that
produces results by detoxifying and contouring the flesh; therefore,
you will lose inches not pounds. We recommend drinking 8 to 10
glasses of water a day, especially on the days following each wrap
to continue the detoxification process through the body's natural
elimination system. Flushing your system this way will even aid
weight loss.

What is the Ultimate
Results Wrap?
The Ultimate Results Wrap is a two-part process. You are first
placed in an infrared blanket, which promotes heating the body,
stimulating the system, and opening the pores of the skin, to better
accept the body wrap solution. When you incorporate both the
internal benefits of infrared and the external compression process
with the mineral body wrap, the body's detoxification process is
enhanced and this promotes inch loss and weight loss.

Will wraps help Lap Band/Gastric Bypass patients tighten and tone
excess and loose skin?
Body Wraps are the perfect partner for gastric bypass or lap
band patients who are losing weight drastically. Losing weight
causes a breakdown of fat, releasing more toxins within the soft
tissues, frequently resulting in loose, flabby-looking flesh. The
detoxifying and sculpturing wrap will firm and tighten the flesh,
showing the full benefits of your weight loss. We recommend a wrap
after every 5 lb. loss.

Why does the Body Wrap Spalon offer so many different types of
wraps?
the Body Wrap Spalon Body Wraps and Treatments appeal to different
people at different times or even the same person at different
times. Everyone has the same desire and need to want to feel good
and look their best, but everyone has their preference about how and
what they will use to achieve those goals. There are definite
differences in the products we use, such as mineral, aloe/herbal,
clay and infrared and each has a specific purpose. Also because we
offer an active wrap and a relaxation wrap, there is a choice for
everyone.
