What are the steps of the body wrap process ?
Step One: Consultation. The client fills out a short questionnaire designed to help determine client goals and any pertinent medical information. This may occur the day of the wrap, or in a separate appointment prior to the wrap. A patch test on the inner arm may be done to rule out sensitivity to the cream. If necessary, the wrap may be done using M’LIS Contour Cream for Sensitive Skin.
Step Two: Preparation. The client will come to the wrap appointment freshly bathed, without any lotions or perfumes on the body. The legs should be shaved the night before the wrap, rather than the same day. Client will bring a small bikini swimsuit or bikini panties and bra, along with anklet socks for warmth, which they will change into once inside a private treatment room.
Step Three: Skin Exfoliation. The M’LIS Wrap uses a transdermal cream to facilitate inch loss. When the skin is exfoliated with M’LIS BUFF before the cream is applied, dead skin cells are removed, capillaries are dilated to help nutrients get to the cells, and the metabolism of the skin is activated. This increases the inch loss results obtained through the wrap.
Step Four: Measurement. The areas of the body where inch loss will occur are measured and marked to ensure accurate measurement after the wrap. This includes the legs, hips, abdomen, waste, rib cage and upper arms. Dimensions are recorded on a progress chart.
Step Five: Application of Contour Cream. Scientifically formulated body wrap cream is topically applied. It is absorbed into the cell region and stimulates circulation while promoting tissue cleansing. All ingredients are natural and safe. Niacin and niacinamide are both forms of vitamin B-3 that dilate blood vessels. Vitamin A increases metabolic functions. Cassia is an herb that promotes blood and fluid flow. Both cassia and niacin produce sensations of warmth as they are absorbed into the skin. There will be a normal pink tone to the skin as circulation is increased. The cream is not applied to the face or breasts.
Step Six: Wrap. Specialized plastic wrap is used to contour the body and to use pressure points in order to advance the working ability of the cream. Fat storage houses (cell chambers) are reduced, allowing the body’s own cleansing process to take over and eliminate excess fluids and waste materials from the body. Plastic wrap helps to hold body heat in, thus aiding the skin in absorption of the cream. The cream is formulated without alums or salts in order to prevent perspiration, ensuring that fluids and valuable minerals are not lost.
Step Seven: Relaxation. Once the client is wrapped, they are reclined and able to relax for one hour, while the cream and wrap are put to work. The client is covered with a blanket to keep warm and maintain circulation at the skin level. Client should not get hot enough to sweat, as this will remove cream from the skin. Unlike a wrap using wet gauze, the client remains warm and comfortable throughout the process. A relaxing facial or reflexology treatment may be done during this time.
Step Eight: Remove and Re-Measure. The wrap is removed and the client is re-measured in exactly the same places as before. The measuring marks are still visible, so there is no doubt as to the accuracy of the inch loss achieved. “After” measurements are recorded and compared to “Before” measurements. The inch loss results are totaled and recorded on the client progress chart. Client can see results on paper, as well as in the mirror.
Step Nine: Complete the Treatment. The excess cream still on the skin is massaged in. Client should avoid showering for several hours after the treatment, as the cream will continue to produce results. Many clients report an additional inch-loss following the wrap. Because the skin-tightening results are not dependent on a water loss, but on the body’s own cleansing function, inch loss won’t return as liquids are taken into the body. In fact, the client should drink water immediately following the wrap to help flush out any released toxins or waste.
Step Ten: Continue the Inch Loss Process. The M’LIS Home Care Kit may be used to maintain and increase desired contour and inch loss results in conjunction with the M’LIS Body Contour Program. The kit is especially beneficial for those who have purchased Contour Wraps in a series. See the “At Home Care” section on this website for more information.
Can you guarantee how many inches I will lose?
Because each body is different, we cannot guarantee an exact inch loss, but we can guarantee you will lose between 4 and 14 inches.
Is the inch loss permanent ?
Yes! If you continue to follow the program recommendations the inch loss is permanent. It is up to each client to keep up with the home care. Your technician will go through the proper home care and detoxification recommendations.
Will my body be able to handle the toxins as they're released?
Yes, the wrap works with your body's natural metabolism and toxin elimination process. We recommend you avoid strenuous excercise, fatty foods, caffeine, alcohol the day you get a wrap. It is also important to drink lots of water.
Can I detoxify by just fasting with water?
Yes, but the M'lis Detoxification program is much better than water fasting. It aids in the rebuilding process and cleanses without weakening. Because many people are already deficient as well as toxic, the longer they go without food, the greater the deficiency.
Why is it important to use distilled water?
Distilled water is pure, which means it has no chemicals or bacteria to interfere with the cleansing process. Do not use bottled mineral water since it may contain concentrations of heavy metals. Soft water is also a poor choice because of its high sodium content.
Can I detoxify if I have hypoglycemia?
Yes. Detoxifying is especially beneficial to hypoglycemics. Be sure to use only pure maple syrup in the lemon juice mixture. Honey or other sweeteners will trigger an insulin response. M'lis SLENDER AID will also help to regulate blood sugar levels.
How does detoxification affect cellulite?
Cellulite is waste materials trapped in connective tissues and fat cells, and is very resistant to ordinary dieting and excercise. While M'lis Detoxification will not remove cellulite, it does clean out the intestinal tract, thereby speeding up the elimination of wastes from the body.
