Sorry to piss on the parade. While you may see small reduction in weight on the scale or inches on the tape measure, the actual composition of your weight loss is not body fat. You cannot melt away fat through the skin.
Once you leave the spa and consume food and water, you will replace what you lost in sweat weight from the treatment. I am unaware of any reliable medical evidence that wrap treatments cause localised fat loss.
As mentioned above, spot reduction is a myth, but it has a long history of lightening consumers wallets. This claim is couched around reducing the appearance of that loathsome substance known as cellulite.
First, as I mentioned above, cellulite is just a name great for marketing! When you get a body wrap, you may indeed see a temporary change in the appearance in your butt and thighs, but this is more to do with localised changes in the fluid compartments rather than any lasting physiological change. Most healthy people are unlikely to experience any adverse effects from a wrap treatment, but it is still important to accept that any procedure does carry risks, however small they may be.

Metformin: An Aid for Weight Loss? Proponents believe in them so strongly that they are frequently advertised as a means to "contour" specific parts of the body such as the belly, hips, or upper arms. Many of the newer devices use far infrared heat FIR which is meant to activate sweat glands, increase circulation, and burn calories all at once. Home versions are also available.
While many of body wrap products will leave the skin feeling soft and smooth, the majority of weight loss will not be due not to the burning of fat but rather the loss of water through perspiration. This is particularly true with infrared body wraps that are frequently touted for their fat-burning properties.
The claims stem largely from the fact that infrared light heats the body from within rather than from the surrounding air. By penetrating the skin, say the manufacturers, the light is better able to detoxify the body by inducing more sweat.
The problem with this argument, of course, is that the kidneys and liver are responsible for removing toxins from the body. The claims in support of weight loss are even thinner. There is simply no evidence that heating the skin with a body wrap can either melt, burn, or liquify fat from within. If this were the case, people would be able to skip the gym and head straight to the sauna to slim down. In fact, as far back as , the U.
Food and Drug Administration FDA issued a consumer warning advising that any weight loss from body wraps was from water, and that there "are no known scientific or clinical data to support the use of any body wrap or sauna suit product as an effective treatment for weight loss, weight management, inch loss, cellulite, bulging fat, spot reduction, loose muscle tissue, appetite control, back support, calorie burn rate, or any other medical claim. While body wraps can give the impression of weight loss due to the tighter appearance of the skin, it is related more to dehydration than anything else.
Usually, all it takes is a day or two before the skin returns to its former state. With that being said, there is no denying the fact that body wraps can make people feel better about themselves, and that's a big plus.
But, in the end, when it comes to losing weight and keeping it off, the only true path to success is diet, exercise, and a little perseverance. Looking to lose weight? Losing those inches is very normal and it is not just about losing water weight see picture above. Body wrap results are immediate and there is absolutely no downtime. As long as you maintain your weight or lose weight , the lost inches will stay off for at least 2 — 3 months.
It's important to remember we continue to take in toxins through chemicals and preservatives in our daily lives through the air we breathe, the foods and drinks we consume, and the products we use on our bodies. A solid diet with an exercise program can help shrink your fat cells but those cells will still be there.
Body Wraps do not kill fat cells, but those fat cells will shrink through detoxification.
