17. I read that wrapping makes no sense, because, supposedly, what we lose while using the wrap just comes right back after simply drinking a glass of water. Please advise.
This statement is incorrect. The wrap effect is not associated with the body's loss of liquid. The wrap's effect is different: the active component hotflux, which is part of letique wraps improves the skin and reduces fat deposits. It stimulates blood circulation, activates metabolism, promotes elimination of toxins from cells and intercellular space, while compacting and strengthening tissues, thereby shaping your forms. That is why the wrap is able to fight problems such as cellulite and stretch marks.
18. Anti-cellulite oil can be used only in combination with the hot wrap?
The components included in the anti-cellulite oil and the hot wrap complement each other's action, so the effect is enhanced. However, these products can be used separately.
19. How does the wrap work against cellulite, how does it affect the skin, and with what effect exactly?
Letique wraps include an innovative hotflux warming complex that stimulates blood circulation and metabolism, which promotes the removal of toxins from cells and intercellular space. It activates lymph flow, and compacts and strengthens tissues, thereby modelling shapes. As a result of the procedure, the process of the active substances’ penetration into the epidermis is accelerated and the care components effectively contribute to the elimination of toxins, debris and excess fluid, so that the skin becomes more even and elastic. Essential oils of orange and cinnamon tone and refresh the skin.
