Types of anti-cellulite wraps
The wraps are hot and cold.
Hot wraps are much more effective, since at high temperatures the active substances penetrate the skin much faster and deeper. However, hot wraps have several contraindications. They are prohibited for varicose veins, cardiovascular diseases, for some gynecological diseases, as well as for all types of tumors.
Cold wraps act much more slowly, but they are suitable for those who cannot, due to health or other reasons, do hot wraps.
Cosmetologists advise not to get carried away exclusively with hot or cold wraps. It is much more expedient and effective, in their opinion, to alternate the cold and hot methods. For the wrapping to give noticeable results, you need to do 10-15 procedures. Do not do the procedures more than two to three times a week.
It is important to know that during pregnancy, any body wraps are contraindicated!

Before starting the wrapping procedure, it does not hurt to cleanse the skin of dead cells using a body scrub.
