And these treatments can get a bit pricey.
The Cons
And even with professional skin tightening wraps, not everyone agrees they’re effective. Many who have used them claim they saw no improvement. And many of those who did said the effect was short-lived.
Some argue that wraps can be dangerous, if they are taken to the extreme. If you sit for too long with skin tightening wrap around you, in a heated room, this can lead to severe dehydration. The skin may look firmer, and you may feel like you’ve slimmed down, but that’s just because your body has lost a lot of water. Once you rehydrate, the effects of the wrap will no longer be visible. And if that’s the case, it’s better to sacrifice your short term looks, instead of your long term health.
If they are mild, skin tightening wraps can be a very pleasant experience. Even if you don’t see any miraculous results, they ca be a very relaxing way to pamper yourself for a half hour. And maybe that’s actually what you really need. A little bit of pampering, so you won’t be so harsh on yourself, and start liking your body just the way it is.
