The Slimming body wrap is an effective combination of a Far Infrared Sauna treatment, a mineral compression body wrap, and low impact exercise. This treatment lasts about 2 hours and results in an average 10-20 inch loss in one treatment. During this treatment your body will be able to expel the waste products and toxins that accumulate in the space between the cells in the skin and flush these products into your lymph system to be removed from the body by the liver and kidneys. The lymph system depends on surrounding muscle movement to sweep the waste products into its channels for removal from the body. Drinking water both during the treatment and over the next 24 hours is essential to help the body completely remove the waste from the body. Some of the inches do return as you rehydrate, that is to be expected, but we have found that usually over half of the inches lost during the treatment do not return even up to 3 weeks later. This is because this treatment is designed to help your body remove the waste products that cause the body to hold fluid in the tissues. For maximum benefits of detoxification and inch loss a series of about 5 treatments is suggested at 2-3 week intervals, with occasional maintenance treatments every 2-3 months thereafter.
