That's a Wrap! Bioslimming Wrap featuring products by Provence Cosmetics (France), provencecosmetics.com Spa: Venus Bodywork, San Francisco, CA (venusbodywork.com) How it works: Essential oils help to reduce toxins and other waste matter, improve blood circulation, burn excess fat, tone the body and soften the skin. Plant extracts and essential oils stimulate circulation and assist in breaking up blockages of fats and blood vessels around cellulite-prone areas, while caffeine and algae extracts further help the fat-burning process. Thermal action intensifies the treatment by facilitating deeper tissue penetration, increases localized blood circulation and promotes lymphatic drainage. Protocol: • Measure the client's areas of concern before beginning treatment. • Massage Detox Base into the areas to be targeted, then do the same with the Active Slim Gel followed by the Active Slim Cream. • Apply the Biofilm to the treated areas. • Invite the client to lie down on a warm bed for 30 to 40 minutes to allow the products to work. Use infrared heat to help activate the herbs in the body wrap. • Vigorously massage the plant extract-based cooling gel Ultra Slim Effect into the treated areas. After 10 minutes, measure the results to record inch loss. Why clients love it: "My clients, staff and I have experienced fantastic results with the Bioslimming Wrap and products," reports Genevieve Castro, spa manager. "I'm amazed each time at the contouring and inch loss achieved after a single wrap, and our clients are too. It's by far the most popular treatment in our spa!" Red Carpet Wrap Spa: The Spa At Wynn Las Vegas, Las Vegas (wynnlasvegas.com) How it works: The Mimosa Champagne Sugar Scrub, infused with raw sugar cane granules and Champagne and Tokay grapes, sloughs dead cells and preps skin while providing antioxidants to fortify and tone. The Blueberry Firming Peel formula deep-cleans pores with blueberry juice; pineapple extract purifies skin; and the proprietary Biocomplex offers antioxidants, vitamins, Coenzyme Q10 and alpha-lipoic acid to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The Lychee and Chestnut Firming Leg Treatment reduces inflammation and increases circulation, and the Monoi Age Corrective Night Body cream hydrates with argan stem cell complex, hyaluronic acid and shea butter. 44 DAYSPA | NOVEMBER 2013 Protocol: • After a consultation and skin analysis, invite the client to lie face-down. • Apply the Mimosa Champagne Sugar Scrub to the right leg and back, and follow with an application of the Blueberry Firming Peel. • Place warm, moist towels over the treated area and wrap with a Mylar blanket, top sheet and bath towel. Repeat on the left side of the body. • Remove the peel and apply the Lychee and Chestnut Firming Leg Treatment, followed by the Monoi Age Corrective Night Body Cream. • Ask the client to turn over and administer the previous applications to the front side of the body. Why clients love it: "This rejuvenating treatment leaves skin glowing with a firm, baby-soft texture," says Ella Stimpson, executive director of spa operations. "The Red Carpet Wrap is the go-to treatment for clients who want to look their best in an über-cute party dress."
