The body wrap process begins with the patient having skin exfoliation performed. The detox process starts with the placement of a product such as heat cream, lotion, seaweed, algae, clay, mud or a gel to help the body get rid of toxins. The patient is wrapped in plastic or mylar to stay warm/heat the skin during the process. After about 20 minutes, the patient is removed from the wrap and the product is washed off the body. By heating the skin, the body gets rid of excess toxins and fluids which lead to a more contoured appearance, temporary weight loss and reduced cellulite on the body.
