Body Wrapping

Body wrapping is a physical–cosmetology treatment based on the application of products with lipolytic, draining, warming, or cooling properties, followed by occlusion using foil, bandages, or masks. Occlusion enhances the penetration of active ingredients, intensifies physiological processes in the skin, and supports body-contouring and detoxifying effects.

The treatment is used in anti-cellulite therapies, microcirculation improvement, skin firming, and support of edema reduction. This lesson introduces the principles of selecting appropriate formulations and occlusion methods, workplace safety, and the creation of individualized treatment protocols.

The learning process includes theoretical content, instructional videos, detailed step-by-step guidance, and a certificate of completion, preparing participants to perform body wrapping treatments consciously and effectively in professional practice.
