Toxins in
The fat cells in our body are surrounded by a liquid called interstitial fluid that both nourishes it and provides it with an effective waste system. This fluid can accumulate in excess within the cells and between the cells because of a lack of exercise, aging, diets high in salt and sugar, and a buildup of toxins. When that fluid becomes filled with toxins, it thickens and hardens the onnective tissue just below the skin and creates a dimpling effect that can be seen on the outside of the body as cellulite. Our Body wraps contain ingredients designed to draw out these excess fluids and toxins while restoring nutrients to the body.
Our bodies accumulate toxins. Toxins are chemicals and preservatives that are accumulated in our body through the air we breathe, the foods we eat, the liquids we drink, and medications we take. Our skin is the largest organ and daily use of cosmetics, perfume, and lotions are all absorbed through the pores in our skin. Normally, our bodies are designed to flush these toxins out through the liver and kidneys. But the amount we take in is much greater than what our bodies can safely process, so the excess toxins end up being stored in the interstitial fluid where they are then absorbed by the surrounding fat cells.

Using our proprietary all natural mineral solution, along with our exclusive certified wrapping techniques, you will be wrapped in mineral drenched bandages, and then "basted" several times during the 60 minute wrap. Our wraps are hydrating, saturating and nourishing the body with healthful vitamins and minerals. And unlike the other wraps on the market, our wraps are active wraps, which means you do some light exercise for about an hour, such as lightly working out on a glider, bouncing on a mini-trampoline, & getting the circulation going in those targeted areas using our exclusive ExCellAerator. This helps to increase the circulation, enhance the results of the wrap, and helps to build strength and stamina.
The Different Types of Body Wraps
There are essentially three different types of body wraps on the market today. All three types employ a large emphasis on moisturizing, healing & conditioning
the skin. However, the primary function of the
three types is drastically different.
Hydration & Detoxifying Wraps: This is the type that is offered at Dangerous Curves. This type of body wrap creates inch loss in two ways. The first is by aiding the lymphatic system in the removal of stored toxins. These wraps stimulate a process called lymphatic drainage, where toxins and fatty acids from your cells are released into the capillaries and eliminated along with the body's waste. Being advised to drink higher quantities of water after this type of body wrap is common to help flush the toxins. By following these instructions, you will most likely notice additional inch loss in the days, even weeks after your wrap.
These wraps also help to eliminate the excess fluids and toxins by drawing them out through the pores of the skin. The result is an immediate and noticeable inch loss in the areas of the body where there is a large accumulation of fat: the hips, thighs, stomach, back fat, upper arms and muffin top. This is where our "inch loss guarantee" comes into play. We guarantee a 10 to 30 inch loss your first wrap or your next one is FREE! (6 to 20 for men)
Spa Type Wraps: This type is when a type of mud, cream or oil is applied to the body. You are then wrapped in a nice, warm blanket and relax in a darkened room while listening to soft music. This type of wrap is wonderful for moisturizing the skin and helping you to de-stress.
Dehydration Wraps: also known as, home use spot wraps. This type of wrap creates a minor amount of inch loss and weight loss (1 – 2 lbs) primarily through water elimination. These water elimination wraps are very useful for women who tend to retain fluid and feel bloated much of the time. You will feel better for a very short period of time & the inch loss and weight loss is always only temporary (2 or 3 days). They will also instruct you not to drink any water, shower or bath for 24 to 72 hours. Upkeep for this type of wrap is costly & adds up quickly.
Industry experts will tell you that a large majority of body wraps on the market are the dehydration type wrap, so always ask what type of wrap a salon offers, ask what the after wrap instructions are regarding fluid intake, and how long the results can be expected to last. An easy way to spot a dehydration wrap is there will be no guarantee regarding inch loss or longevity for the results.
