How is the M’LIS Body Contour Wrap different from other Body Wraps?

• Salt solutions, mineral salt wraps, seaweed wraps and liquid herbal wraps all pull toxins and water through the pores internally to externally, dehydrating and aging the skin through water loss. With a water loss wrap, you may be required to wear a rubber suit or booties to promote sweat and catch the body hydration.

It does exactly the same externally, shrinking the cells of any moisture. This treatment is a water loss, dehydration, and the most damaging of all cellulite treatments, as it is putting a chemical into the body’s blood stream.
• The M’LIS Wrap uses herbal formulations that work externally to internally. This type of program aids in the removal of wastes that have become trapped in vulnerable parts of our bodies. It is basically a cleansing process of the tissue underneath the skin, and helps restore elasticity to loose, flabby skin. It does not dehydrate and age the skin. The healthiest type of body wrap.

Can I just have my legs wrapped?

Partial wraps are not recommended, as the M’LIS Wrap uses the body’s natural systems of elimination to obtain inch loss. If only the legs are wrapped, trapped wastes may simply be moved from one area of the body to another, rather than eliminated completely through the circulation and lymphatic systems.

Why does the skin turn pink when Contour Cream is applied?

Niacin and cassia naturally promote dilation of the blood vessels and fluid flow. This increased circulation under the skin gives the skin a pink tone. This is expected, and is a positive event that shows the cream working. The skin usually returns to its normal color within an hour of application. A patch test before the wrap will show any unusual sensitivity. If this is found to be the case, Contour Cream is also available in a Sensitive Skin Formula.

How long does the wrap take?

The entire process takes approximately two hours. This includes the consultation, exfoliation, measurements, wrap, relaxation for one hour, and time to cut out and re-measure. If the client is not measured each time, the process will be much faster. Some spas sell the wraps in a series, and then measure only before the first wrap and after the final wrap. If a client is only interested in the wrap as a lymphatic cleanse, they may choose not to be measured at all to save time.

Why, if I am losing inches, will I not lose weight with the wrap?

If there is an immediate weight loss after a wrap, this indicates that water has been lost. In this case, weight will be gained again as soon as the body is re-hydrated. With a M’LIS internal cleanse wrap, there is no weight loss for at least 72 hours.

Cellulite is caused by toxins and wastes that are trapped in the soft, fatty tissues of the body. These are removed at the cellular level by breaking them up and moving them into the circulatory and lymphatic systems for permanent elimination through the body’s natural processes. By drinking a large quantity of water in the hours following the wrap, they are rapidly flushed out of the system. The result is inch loss and body contouring rather than weight loss. Body wraps are wonderful for those who are losing weight, however, as they have the ability to tone and tighten loose skin that develops when pounds are shed.
