How cold wrap works
The effect of cold procedures on the body is fundamentally different from the effect of hot wraps: here, under the influence of a cooling substance, a sharp narrowing of pores and blood vessels occurs.
- A strong outflow of lymph and blood from skin cells and subcutaneous tissues begins.
- The liquid takes with it all the harmful substances that have accumulated in the cells.
In this case, they are removed from the body through internal organs: kidneys and liver.
For your information! At the same time, the beneficial substances contained in the wrap mixture saturate the skin with everything it needs.
The weight loss effect occurs due to the fact that the body begins to intensively break down fats in order to obtain the energy it needs to heat the body.
This type of cosmetic procedures has much fewer contraindications than hot wraps and is used in all cases where the latter are not applicable.
Causes of cellulite
Why does cellulite appear? The mechanism of fat accumulation is associated with impaired lipolysis
- breakdown of fat cells, which saturate our body with energy and are actively burned during diet and exercise.
Therefore, common causes of cellulite include:
- Sedentary lifestyle and physical inactivity;
- Poor nutrition (excess carbohydrates, deficiency of fiber and protein);
- Hormonal disorders and changes (pregnancy, menopause);
- Genetic predisposition to the formation of cellulite in “problem areas”;
- Violation of drinking regime;
- Weight gain;
- Stress;
- Smoking.

Mud masks
Compositions with healing mud from the Dead Sea have a positive effect on the skin due to its anti-inflammatory and rejuvenating effects. They contain a large amount of useful microelements (magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, chromium, iron, etc.), which fight the “orange peel” and generally have a beneficial effect on the body. They are most often used as an auxiliary method for weight loss and local body correction.
To obtain a pronounced and lasting result, procedures must be carried out in a course and under the supervision of an experienced specialist. You can make an appointment with a qualified cosmetologist for a body wrap at the Bionics clinic.
Cold wrap process
The procedure, as with a hot wrap, begins with cleansing the entire body, first with soap and a washcloth, then with a scrub. It is advisable to have a light massage.
Then a BUTTER MASK is applied to problem areas or the entire body for wrapping, then we wrap bandages. On top, to maintain the temperature and prevent premature drying of the mixture, the body is wrapped in plastic wrap.
It is recommended to complete the procedure with a contrast shower. Afterwards, a cooling nourishing cream is applied to the skin.
It is advisable to perform the procedures every other day. The course consists of 10 – 15 wraps.
This anti-cellulite wrap at home gives an excellent effect if you alternate it with hot procedures, as well as with other cosmetics aimed at combating cellulite and excess weight.
Effective treatments for cellulite
Unfortunately, the lifestyle of a modern woman often leaves neither time nor energy for self-care. Therefore, many representatives of the fair sex, already at the first signs of “orange peel”, turn to a specialist - a cosmetologist or massage therapist. Beauty treatments really have advantages over home care. Hardware and injection techniques work much faster, anti-cellulite massage is performed by certified specialists. Doctors at the cosmetology center of the Pirogov Clinic individually select the most suitable procedures or course after carefully studying the skin type, condition of adipose tissue and the patient’s medical history. If necessary, we can help you choose an effective anti-cellulite product for home use, which will help maintain and improve the results of the procedures.
What effective procedures for cellulite do our cosmetologists recommend?
RF lifting
The essence of this hardware method is a mild thermal effect on adipose tissue. In the fight against cellulite, the Regen Tripolar RF device has no equal: it not only allows you to reduce volume in the legs, buttocks, thighs, abdomen and sides, but also has a lifting effect. During the procedure, fat cells that form lumps and bumps are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids and then naturally eliminated from the body. Additionally, the procedure starts the process of synthesis of your own collagen and improves blood microcirculation.

Pressotherapy
Pressotherapy is a hardware anti-cellulite massage. A special suit filled with compressed air is put on the body. Problem areas of the body are treated with measured pressure.
Plasmolifting for cellulite*
PRP therapy (or plasmolifting) is an injection method that has proven itself in the fight against cellulite, even extremely advanced ones. The essence of the method is the introduction of your own blood plasma enriched with platelets. It has a strong therapeutic effect: it improves metabolism, the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers, and helps regulate the process of lymph excretion. The “orange peel” melts with each session, and the quality of the skin improves. To accelerate the effect, plasma lifting can be combined with the introduction of fat-burning lipolytics (lipomodifiers) and hardware methods.

Lipolitics (lipomodifiers)*
One of the most popular procedures for cellulite and local fat deposits is intralipotherapy (mesolipolysis). This is an injection method of special drugs - lipomodifiers (lipolytics), which dissolve the membranes of fat cells and convert them into substances that are safe for the body, which are then excreted through the lymphatic system. A noticeable effect does not appear immediately, but several days after the procedure (on average, 20). A course of procedures (from 1 to 6) helps not only to cope with cellulite, but also to significantly reduce the volume of excess fat deposits.

Application of bandages
In this case, it is necessary to follow the simplest rules of bandaging:
- the legs are bandaged, starting from the feet and going up;
- Bandaging the thighs and abdomen begins with the knee of one leg. Then we rise to the waist. The second leg is also bandaged;
- hands are bandaged, starting from the wrist towards the shoulder;
- When bandaging the chest, the sternum area is first wrapped, and then the chest is bandaged crosswise through the neck.
The bandages should not be tightened too tightly; their pressure in the groin area should be minimal. You cannot bandage your legs, chest and stomach at the same time.

Rules
Have you decided to use cold wraps for weight loss at home? Well, if there are no contraindications for the procedure, you can safely start preparing the mixture and treating the problem area with it.
There is no need to be upset if everything doesn’t work out the first time. For example, applying cling film is a process that requires certain skills. But with practice, you will soon be able to fly through this stage of the procedure in a matter of seconds. So, we begin to turn into cold and lose weight.
- Since the cooling of the problem area should be sharp, we begin the procedure in the same way as with a hot wrap. That is, we take a bath, apply a scrub, and you can do a light massage for 5-7 minutes.
- Apply the prepared paste with a cooling agent to the part of the body where the most fat deposits are found. This could be the waist or sides, legs or arms.
- To prevent the mixture from drying out on the body ahead of time, wrap it in cling film in a spiral from bottom to top.
- To avoid tissue necrosis due to the cold effect of the paste, the duration of the procedure is much shorter than with a hot wrap: no more than 40 minutes, and then this is the maximum. If you can no longer feel your skin, stop the procedure to avoid unpleasant consequences.
- Do not try to carefully unfold the cling film in the opposite direction: it will be much easier and faster to open it with scissors.
- The paste is washed off the body in a shower at room temperature.
- To start the weight loss process more intensively, it will be useful to finish the cold wrap with a contrast shower.
- Next you will need a cream - preferably it should also be cooling.
- Cold wraps can be done every other day. A weight loss course usually takes no more than 15 procedures, because by this time the problem area of the body has already lost not only fat deposits, but also sensitivity due to frequent exposure to low temperatures.
To lose weight even faster with cold wraps, complement them with other methods - this is not contraindicated. Eat only according to the regime, limit the consumption of anything that contributes to excess weight gain (fatty, sweet, starchy foods, fast foods, etc.).
Play sports, lead an active lifestyle, walk more in the fresh air. In a word, lead a healthy lifestyle - and body correction will soon cease to be your problem, as your figure will become ideal. All we have to do is help you choose a recipe.
