Home wrap to tighten the skin on the abdomen

The stomach is one of the most problematic areas of the female body. Making it flat and elastic is very, very difficult.

Loads on the abdominal muscles will certainly help to cope with the problem, but not every one of us has the opportunity or desire to exercise constantly. This is where systematic body wraps for weight loss and skin tightening come to the rescue. The main function of this cosmetic procedure is to restore the elasticity of the abdominal skin and break down fat deposits at the waist.

The procedure can be carried out both in the salon and at home on your own. The final effect is the same, the main thing is to choose the right composition and follow the conditions of the wrap. Skin tightening at home sometimes even turns out to be more effective, since it is possible to do it regularly without missing sessions.

How does the wrap procedure affect the skin of the abdomen and fatty tissue?

There is an opinion that you can get rid of the layer of subcutaneous fat accumulated over many years with one session. However, the effectiveness of the procedures will only be noticeable if you complete the full course of procedures.

Hot and cold wraps are effective ways to reduce body volume, especially in the areas most prone to fat accumulation: the abdomen, hips, and sides.

To achieve a noticeable result, you need to undergo at least 10-15 procedures. Maximum fat burning can be achieved in combination with sports exercises and diet.

The first wrap to tighten the skin of the abdomen will allow you to get rid of 2-3 cm from the waist. However, the first procedure ensures the outflow of excess moisture. To achieve a stable result, skin tightening and removal of excess fat, at least 10 procedures will be required.

Hot procedures open the skin, and impurities, toxins and excess fluid come out through them. With cold wraps, cell cleansing occurs through the excretory system. Effectively use honey, mustard, coffee and other procedures. The active component should be selected depending on the type and condition of the skin.
