Wraps with lymphatic drainage effect - we fight not fat, but liquid 

Cosmetic procedures continue to improve, becoming more and more effective in combating a wide range of aesthetic problems. One of the most advanced and popular procedures is professional body wrap. After the first uses, it provides a pronounced rejuvenating effect, reduces the amount of subcutaneous fat deposits and allows you to get rid of cellulite.

A body wrap performed with professional body cosmetics is a special SPA ritual. This is a great way to relax, relieve stress and accumulated fatigue, and improve your mood. Equally important in this matter is the correct approach of the master to the client and the creation of a friendly atmosphere conducive to a comfortable stay. It is the combination of cosmetological effects with positive emotions that ensures such a high effectiveness of the wrap.

Action and efficiency

What does this effect give:

• waist and hip circumference decreases, weight decreases;
• swelling and a feeling of heaviness in the legs disappear, signs of the initial stage of varicose veins are eliminated;
• The “orange peel” appearance is eliminated and the color of skin affected by cellulite is improved.

Lymphatic drainage wrap can be performed regularly at home.

• As a result of the mechanical and heating effect on the epidermis, the skin pores expand, sweating increases, the removal of keratinized cells and the formation of young epithelial cells are activated.
• Subcutaneous vessels expand, the mouths of lymphatic capillaries open, blood and lymph circulation increases, and tissue nutrition improves.
• Through the skin pores, the active components of the external mixtures used for weight loss more easily penetrate into well-supplied tissues.
• Metabolic products and various toxins of external origin accumulated in the cells are actively removed. This causes an improvement in overall well-being.

Thus, independent lymphatic drainage wraps provide a good rejuvenating effect without significant financial costs. To improve the result, they can be supplemented with courses of salon procedures:

• lpg massage;
• pressotherapy;
• dermotonia;
• endosphere therapy.

Properties of healing mud

Mud wrap is a very popular procedure. This is not surprising, because it is considered one of the most effective effects on the body, promoting health and rejuvenation. Different types of mud (sea, peat, volcanic) that are used in the procedure saturate the body with useful substances and promote tissue renewal processes.

Thanks to the healing properties of therapeutic mud, blood supply and lymph flow improve, the body is freed from toxins, the skin is tightened - since the active substances during the wrapping process reach the deep layers of the epidermis, cleansing the cells and protecting them from the effects of negative factors.

Cosmetologists recommend mud body wrap as an effective way to get rid of wrinkles, sagging, and excessive dry skin. Organic mud used for the procedure, in addition to the visual effect of rejuvenation, allows the body to be saturated with humic and carboxylic acids, which contribute to healing, but are not produced by it.

Thanks to therapeutic mud wraps, the following processes occur:

• fats are broken down, excess weight falls off;
• the skin becomes firmer, smoother and more elastic;
• fatigue disappears, a positive attitude appears;
• immunity increases;
• mental and somatic health is strengthened;
• inhibition of aging processes is observed;
• metabolism improves;
• toxins are eliminated;
• blood flow and lymph circulation improves;
• dead skin cells are exfoliated;
• scars and cicatrices are smoothed out;
• Stretch marks and cellulite gradually disappear.

The principle of operation of such a wrap is based on the ability of mud to retain heat for a long time (due to the internal transfer of energy from one particle to another). Because of this, the healing mixture does not cool down for a long time, which ensures the maximum effect of the procedure.

Thanks to the heat that comes from the mud, body tissues warm up well, blood vessels dilate, blood and lymph circulate better.

In the process of profuse sweating, the pores open, and the healing mud through them draws the contents of fat cells to the surface of the skin. As a result, the appearance of cellulite becomes significantly smaller, and body weight also decreases. During one procedure, the client can lose from 400 to 700 grams of fat.

Technique

Typically, women use food-grade plastic film in rolls at home. It is convenient to wrap around problem areas; it is thin, durable, does not allow air or liquid to pass through, and does not slip. There are also special elastic bandages that can be purchased at beauty salons, pharmacies, medical equipment stores, or ordered online. The use of such dressings further increases the effectiveness of the effect.

Film wraps are best combined with the application of various compositions to the skin. These can be anti-cellulite creams, therapeutic mud, algae, and even ordinary fruits and berries in the form of puree. To pre-cleanse the skin, you will need a body scrub. Finally, to create a greenhouse effect, after wrapping you need to wear warm trousers or wrap yourself in a blanket.

In the presence of early stages of varicose veins, fragility of blood vessels, and a tendency to increase blood pressure, a cold lymphatic drainage wrap should be performed. For it, mixtures at room temperature are used, while when hot, the composition is heated to 38°C.

How to make wraps with lymphatic drainage effect:

• Pre-cleanse the skin with a scrub. At home, you can use ground coffee or a mixture of quality olive oil and table salt. This stage is necessary for the mechanical removal of keratinized epithelial cells and opening of skin pores.
• Apply the product according to the chosen recipe, carefully wrap it with cling film from bottom to top. The film should lie flat on the skin, without squeezing it, but also without sagging. 2-3 layers are enough.
• After wrapping with film, create a sauna effect using warm clothes or a blanket, or do simple gymnastic exercises. Physical activity increases the effectiveness of the procedure, but during it the film may slip and clothing may become contaminated with the medicinal mixture.
• The duration of the lymphatic drainage wrap is 30 minutes, after which the skin is washed under a warm shower and dried. A nourishing body cream is applied to it. You can conduct such sessions every other day if desired, but it is optimal to conduct sessions 2-3 times a week.

Features of the wrapping procedure

During this procedure, the client lies on the couch. In this position, the cosmetologist has free access to parts of the body that need wrapping. At the same time, the client can completely relax, since he is not required to perform any actions, and none of the manipulations causes discomfort.

At the time of the procedure, the client does not necessarily need to carry out a preparatory procedure for cleansing the skin. Aravia Organic anti-cellulite cosmetics are designed in such a way that it allows you to completely prepare the body without first taking a bath or washing in the shower. All the necessary lotions, tonics and other skin cleansing products are present in the Aravia line of professional cosmetics.

Before starting the procedure, the master must tell the client about the rules of conduct when wrapping, and also asks about:

• the results that the client strives to achieve;
• problem areas that need adjustment;
• contraindications (pregnancy, lactation) and individual intolerance to individual components of cosmetic products;
• the presence of damage and inflammatory processes in areas of the body to be wrapped.

The information collected as a result of a conversation and a preliminary study of the skin condition allows the specialist to determine which body cosmetics are best suited in this case, as well as to choose the right treatment methods to achieve the best effect.

The range of professional cosmetics for body wraps includes products that provide a warming and cooling effect. Their application can cause discomfort in people with sensitive skin, and therefore it is important for the specialist to choose a cream taking into account the individual wishes of the client.

During the procedure, the cosmetologist provides consultation on body, skin care and proper nutrition. Following the recommendations of a specialist, complemented by modern cosmetic procedures, is a guarantee of achieving the desired results and eliminating aesthetic problems.
