Anyone ever done a Spa Wrap??

[LynnTH]

I have a bunch of gift cards for Spalon Montage and trying to figure out what to use them on. They have a bunch of different wraps that are suppose to detox your body and you lose bloating and water weight. Wondering if anyone has ever done one of these and what they are like? Do they really work and for how long? Thanks.

never done the detoxifying per se but, we live fairly close to the calistoga mud baths and i've done a mud bath followed by a "blanket wrap" (you do the mud treatment, shower off, sit in the sauna, shower off and then they wrap you in a warmed blanket and you lie down for about a half hour before getting a full body massage). it's very relaxing and you do end up sweating out some water weight and toxins. you just have to make sure you push water for the rest of the day or you can end up with a major headache or feeling yucky (it helps to push the toxins out of your system).

if the place you are going to offers a hot rock massage-treat yourself-it is so relaxing!

My Mom had a firming wrap before the (our!) wedding. She had one two weeks beforehand as a trial and then, unfortunately, ran out of time to get the second one done. She said she loved it. As a physician, she was more than a little skeptical, but couldn't believe the before and after measurements and the way her skin felt. It lasts as long as you don't put the toxins back in your body (soda, junk food, fast food, etc). She was very pleased with it and saw the best results in her arms, bum, tighs, and mid-section.

My g/f also had the wrap done - and loved the results. And I was also pretty impressed - she looked less puffy and really glowey!

Thanks for the info everyone. I was wondering if they really did work or just last a day or two and everything comes back. I might have to consider doing one of these - although the massages look good too ... so many choices.

I have done the wrap a couple of years ago. One wrap isn't really enough to see results. The place I went to recommended that you do at least 3 and as long as you don't gain weight the results shouldn't change.

I did see results, but I am not sure that one would be enough. If could afford to do a pkg of like 3 of them, then I'd go for it.

Ok - so then what exactly do you wear to do these things??

NOTHING!

No only kidding. I am trying to think what I wore, I think it was just underwear and a bra, but I brought an extra pair with me to change into before putting my clothes back on because they will be soaked. The wrap is a bandage drenched in a liquid so whatever you wear will get wet.
