I wanted to firm up for a beach vacation - so I researched the body wrap systems and read that most experiences were positive as far as losing inches. So I went, and was totally disappointed. It took approximately 2 hours. I was wrapped in ace bandages soaked in some kind of mineral solution. Then I was placed on a "Gizelle" exercise machine for three 15 minute sessions, being "basted" in between with the solution. It was somewhat uncomfortable,quishy liquid coming down my legs, plastic bags on my hands and feet to collect the fluid, hobbling back and forth swaddled in bandages. It would have all been worth it had it worked! I noticed absolutely no change. My clothes fit just the same. I did not seem any firmer. Complete waste of time and money.

Hi Nurse,

Welcome to the community and thanks for the humorously descriptive review. I know it wasn't supposed to be funny and I'm sorry you saw no results, but loved the way you described it. Have you been back to ask them why it didn't work? Please keep us updated.

Thanks,

For the people tha dont understand the full concept of bodywraping, ill break it down for you. Its a method of slenderizing, but the proceedure is way more than the innitial boywrap, you have to help the wrap so it can work for you. be positive, Eat right, excesisie. This is NOT a medical procedure, it will not magically make you thin. I love doing suddenly slender body wraps they use the safest methods and are guaranteed. Thank you for your help Suddenly slender.

Hi Atom,

Thanks for your comment, can the community assume you work in a med spa or are a doctor?

Hey.. I was just wondering if body wrapping can help reduce stretch marks as well????... sure not but only if it can help somehow. Also, does it make the body feel strong and tight? Cos my legs are a little saggy and i want to tighten them. Waiting for a reply soon on my email above, thank u.

Of course you won't lose weight with a "body wrap;" that would be magic. All a body wrap can do is dehydrate you, causing water weight loss. Also, some of the oils and creams might make your skin feel softer. However, there's no magic potion or cosmetic treatment that can fix the results of overeating, aging, and genetics. Nothing you rub on your skin can "cure" stretch marks or cellulite. Body wraps are good for a temporary loss of fluid, and maybe some skin moisturization, and that's it. If losing weight were really as easy as going to a spa, there wouldn't be a fat person alive.
