Body Wrapping

Lesson overview

Body wrapping within the annual program is introduced as a physical–cosmetology treatment based on the application of active formulations combined with occlusion, affecting the skin and subcutaneous tissues through modulation of thermoregulation, fluid balance, and lymphatic function. The lesson focuses on the conscious use of thermal and chemical stimuli in body-contouring therapies, with careful consideration of systemic responses and procedural safety.

The material covers the mechanisms of action of body wrapping, principles for selecting active products and occlusion types, and client qualification for contouring and drainage therapies. The practical component focuses on step-by-step execution of body wrapping, monitoring skin and tissue responses, and integrating the treatment with other in-office procedures.
