Cellulite Body Wraps Review

Herbal remedies are common in various cellulite treatments, such as creams, lotions, injections and even body wraps. Cellulite body wraps consist of herbs such as seaweed, algae, aloe vera, and mud. The skin is first brushed with this formula and then wrapped tightly in linen from neck to toe. (Some spas soak the linens in the formula and then apply them.) This is covered in cellophane or plastic wrap for about 20-30 minutes before removal. The problem areas are then gently massaged and rinsed with warm water.

How Do Cellulite Body Wraps Work?

You can have a body wrap done professionally at a spa, but you can also make your own at home with warm coffee grounds and moist seaweed. The coffee helps fat break down and stimulates blood flow. Algae works to absorb toxins from the body. If you try to do a body wrap yourself, it is imperative that you are well informed of the correct way to apply it. If done incorrectly cellulite body wraps can lead to dehydrations and excessive loss of bodily fluids. You should also always be aware of ALL the ingredients used in the actual herbal formula.

Drawbacks of Cellulite Body Wraps

Spas have promoted this craze by claiming that you can lose inches of "water logged fatty tissue," but in actuality anything you lose is simply through perspiration. This fluid will quickly be replaced when you eat and drink. Any reductions you experience will be temporary. You may leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated (who doesn't after enjoying some pampering?) but you will probably not experience permanent loss of cellulite. To see any real results and keep cellulite at bay, you would probably have to have weekly treatments.

Cellulite body wraps have quite a range when it comes to costs. They can be as cheap as $40 or several thousand dollars at an upscale spa. However, even if you go for an inexpensive wrap, keep in mind the results will probably not last longer than a week.

The worst case scenario when experiencing a body wrap would be for it to shrink your thighs but not affect the cellulite at all. This would result in slimmer thighs leaving your cellulite to stand out even more!

The Bottom Line

The bottom line is that cellulite body wraps, although a rejuvenating experience, are not a long-term solution to your cellulite problem. They are not even much of a short-term one! If you do get it done, it is best to have a professional do it. It may be more expensive, but doing it incorrectly yourself could cause damage to your body. There are many other more trustworthy methods to rid yourself of cellulite.
