Finally we will see how it is possible to make warm slimming bandages at home, with a perfect do-it-yourself solution.
Hot or cold bandages?
Slimming anti-cellulite wraps are a cosmetic treatment consisting of gauze soaked in a gel containing specific active ingredients. Wrapped around the legs, buttocks, abdomen, and hips, they promote slimming and reduce the appearance of cellulite. First, let's look at the differences between the two most common types of wraps:
Slimming hot bandage
For those who wish lose weight and reduce the size of your legs and hips by a few centimetresHot slimming bandages are the ideal solution. The gel contained in the gauze, enriched with active ingredients known for their slimming and firming properties, such as horse chestnut, thyme, and capsicum extract, causes an increase in body temperature, which in turn stimulates metabolism of fat cells. At the same time, the compression of the bandages plays alymphatic drainage action in the tissues, promoting the drainage of excess fluids and reducing the appearance of cellulite. Hot wraps are typically applied to the legs, abdomen, and hips.
Cold Draining Blinds
THE cold draining bandages they work as targeted treatments against cellulite and water retentionThis is because the cold-action gel in which the gauze is soaked acts as a vasoconstrictor, reducing the lumen of the blood vessels and decongesting cellulite edema. Applied to the legs and buttocks, the natural active ingredients (for example menthol, mint, eucalyptus, tea tree) are absorbed by the skin and perform aaction firming and deflating, while the compression provided by the bandages stimulates powerful lymphatic drainage in the legs. Cold bandages are particularly recommended for those suffering from heavy legs and swelling.
How slimming bandages work on the belly and legs
How do drainage bandages affect the areas to be treated, such as the stomach, hips, legs and buttocks? Slimming bandages work because they exploit the principles of vasodilation: the hot gel, by raising the temperature of the area to be treated, allows the lumen of the veins to increase.
This favors a increased metabolism of fat cells and oxygenation of tissues: in this way slimming bandages stimulate weight loss, especially in the case of localized adiposity difficult to remove. At the same time, the "sauna" effect caused by the gel promotes the absorption of the active ingredients contained in the gauze, which have a reducing effect and help firm the skin. Finally, Draining bandages with a hot effect are also effective for fighting cellulite, as the compression provided by the bandages can reactivate microcirculation and perform powerful lymphatic drainage of the tissues, thus eliminating excess fluids. Our skin will thus be more toned, smooth, and soft to the touch.
Professional draining bandages
Slimming wraps, due to their effectiveness, are an increasingly popular treatment in beauty salons, perfect for those who want to reduce their waistline and combat cellulite. Professional slimming wraps can be hot or cold, and are often combined with the use of other slimming machines such as pressotherapy or cryotherapy.
How long does a slimming compress last?
A slimming wrap typically lasts 30-45 minutes and can last longer if the wraps are combined with other treatments, such as slimming mud treatments, pressotherapy, or the application of anti-cellulite creams. Keep in mind that to be truly effective, slimming wraps, such as hot wraps, must be repeated multiple times. For a more intensive effect, it is recommended to book at least two or three sessions per week for a period of two months.
