Frequently Asked Questions

These are some of the most common questions about our body wraps. Click on any of them for the answers!






How does it work?

Herbal extracts, amino nutrients and natural minerals open pores, drawing out toxic accumulations from the skin and soft tissue layers. Pressure wraps compact the detoxified fatty tissues, reducing overall measurements in the areas that need it most.

How long does a body wrap take?

Your first body wrap session is usually 1-1/2 hours. The initial interview, 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.

How long does it last?

As long as you maintain your weight (or lose some), we guarantee that the lost inches will last for at least 6 to 12 months, providing you commit to multiple treatments and avoid 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.

What should I wear to be wrapped?

In order to maximize the coverage of the herbal wrap, we suggest that women be wrapped in their undergarments, and men are required to wear gym shorts or swim trunks. You will be wrapped in warm, damp bandages, so bring an extra set of dry undergarments for after the wrap.

How many inches will I lose?

Depending upon your 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.

What should I do after the wrap?

It takes about 10 days for the skin to fully adapt to tissue reduction. You may assist this process by avoiding toxic foods such as salt, sugar, alcohol, caffeine and carbonated beverages for several days following the wrap, and by drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water a day. We also recommend avoiding creams or lotions and taking only lukewarm showers during this time period. In addition, an Herbal Body Mist may be purchased as an excellent way to continue the detoxification process.

 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.

 Is this just a temporary water loss?

No! The American Body 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.

  Does it involve dieting?

No dieting is required for inch loss, but the American Body Wrap program is the perfect partner for dieting. 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.

Does it involve exercise?

The American Body Wrap System will reduce inches with or without exercise, but the benefits of any level of exercise will increase your results.
