 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 LA SlimWrap 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 LASlimWrap 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 LA SlimWrap 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 LA SlimWrap offer so many different types of wraps?

LA SlimWrap 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.

 Why did you change your business name?

We get that question a lot and appreciate you noticing and asking.  The reason we changed our name was to "stand out" on our own in the body wrap industry.  We spend a tremendous amount of time, energy and money in marketing and advertising our products and services and are dedicated to bringing our clients the very best in the industry.  Unfortunately, our former name of "Suddenly Slimmer" was used by many other businesses around the country and when we were fortunate enough to be publicized in many well known media avenues, these other businesses were claiming the marketing and promo as their own.  When our name was "Suddenly Slimmer," it made it easy for those other businesses to use our publicity without paying a dime for it...NOT COOL!  So we gladly changed our name and only the "true" businesses that use our product will be displayed on our "Locations" page.  Any others claiming to be using LA SlimWrap and is not represented on our "Locations" page, is using an inferior product.
