Spa treatments at home wrap. Slimming wrap in the salon: procedures and reviews. In a beauty salon

Although home wraps bring some kind of result, professional cosmetic procedures are always more effective and more enjoyable. Experts know exactly which type of manipulation will help to cope with a specific problem, how to do it easier, faster and satisfy the client's desire.

For whom does it make sense to do a wrap in the salon, what to expect from it and which form to choose from, read on.

Such a cosmetic manipulation involves applying an active composition to the body and exposing the treated area to various temperatures.

Thanks to this, the wraps in the salon work in two directions:

  1. Regardless of the components of the mixture to be applied, they improve the quality of the skin. The procedure is able to give it elasticity and firmness, smooth out the "orange peel" bumps, reduce the appearance of stretch marks, make the surface of the thighs or abdomen smoother and more tender. This effect is especially useful for those who are already actively and quickly losing weight. The course must be repeated with the loss of every 10 kilograms, and then the skin will be tightened more actively and will not sag.
  2. Body wraps help you lose weight. In most people who are far from a healthy lifestyle or have some medical conditions, part of the excess weight is represented by fluid retained by the body. The effect of the sauna, which is created due to cling film and insulation, raising or lowering the temperature in other ways and the components of the mixture for the procedure that stimulate the outflow of lymph, relieve swelling and deprive in one session of a couple of centimeters in volume.

Of course, you won't be able to get rid of all that is superfluous just with the help of wraps. In any case, you will have to create a calorie deficit by changing your diet or introducing physical activity.

But as an additional step in a comprehensive approach to weight loss, body wraps work great in the salon.

Views

Professional wraps are distinguished by several parameters. The specific type is selected depending on the needs of the client, the type of his skin and the characteristics of the body.

You may encounter cosmetic manipulations that have:

  • different composition of the active mixture;
  • different "working" temperatures.

A correctly selected set of components affects the final result and helps not to harm covers with different properties.

Chocolate

Chocolate can be a powerful weapon in the fight for the perfect figure. Only you need to use it not for food, but for cosmetic manipulations.

Works great for anti-cellulite purposes, tightens and softens the skin.

In authentic salon mixes, the usual sweet tiles are absent. Professionals for 1 session include:

  • high-quality cocoa powder - 400 grams;
  • cocoa butter - 125 grams;
  • citrus oil - 4-5 drops.

You won't be able to get the second ingredient everywhere and it is not as cheap as you would like. Therefore, at home, this mixture is often replaced with melted chocolate with essential oil of any citrus fruits. But here you still have to look for real chocolate, on the same cocoa butter and cocoa beans. So the savings on going to the salon are not very significant.

With algae

Algae-based wrap is much cheaper, and the ingredients for it are sold in every pharmacy and grocery supermarket.

To recreate the mixture at home you need:

  • 2 handfuls of fucus or kelp;
  • 5-6 milliliters of grapefruit or orange oil;
  • 10 drops of camphor oil;
  • the yolk of one chicken egg;
  • 3 tablespoons of honey.

The algae are steamed with hot water and allowed to swell. After that, it remains to mix everything, distribute to problem areas and cover with foil. Such a wrap helps well to remove puffiness and a few centimeters on the hips, abdomen, arms.

results

The first results of wraps in the salon are noticeable already during one procedure. First of all, such manipulation perfectly relaxes, helps relieve stress and fatigue in the physical and emotional terms. After the session, the skin looks smooth and nourished, acquires an even color and elasticity.

The next day, people usually notice that there is no more swelling in the treated area. Together with the liquid, the heaviness in the limbs disappears, more energy and the desire to move appear. In volumes for the first procedure, 0.5-2 centimeters disappear.

By the end of the course, up to 8-10 centimeters can go away from problem areas with fat-burning wraps, and in combination with nutrition and sports, weight loss will be even more intense.

Anti-cellulite manipulations noticeably smooth out the external manifestations of this aesthetic imperfection and tone the skin.

Contraindications

In addition to the great benefits, wraps are also known for an extensive list of contraindications.

Do not carry out the procedure if a person has:

  • oncological diseases;
  • diabetes;

SPA wrap is a cosmetic procedure that has recently appeared in the range of beauty salons and spa centers.

Carrying out the procedure in stages

Hot and cold wrap

There are two types of wraps: hot and cold.

Hot wrap

The processes that take place during the wrapping have a good effect on the vessels, especially with congestion in the veins of the legs. Herbal infusions, algae, essential compositions with camphor and menthol are used.

Usually, cosmetologists offer complex programs, during which hot and cold wraps alternate with an individual selection of effects in problem areas.
