Plastic wraps do not help you burn fat. All you lose is water weight, which comes right back when you rehydrate your body. You must also consider the cost factor. Some businesses that perform body wraps claim that you can have as many as four a day, others claim that once a week is fine. Prices vary; however, the average price of a body wrap in the spa is $159, and you need at least one treatment per week. If you decide to do it at home, there are kits that range from $80 to $200.

Most people who report satisfaction with the results of the body wrap also go on to say that they eat a sensible diet and work out four or five times a week. Therefore, if it is necessary to diet and exercise in order to achieve your weight loss goals, why not spend that money on a gym membership, which will guarantee results, and avoid the dangers that come from having toxic plastic substances enter your skin and bloodstream? If you are diabetic, suffer from high blood pressure, are pregnant or have any medical condition, consult your doctor before using any form of body wrap.
