As well as seeking inch loss and toning, women are also looking to improve the texture of their skin.
“Cellulite is a common problem affecting approximately 80-90% of Irish women,” says Linda.
“Cellulite affects women of all shapes and sizes, it is not simply due to an excess of fat however changes in weight will worsen the condition,” she adds.
By offering them alternative solutions you can open your client base up to any woman looking to win her personal war in the fight against flab.
Great expectations
When marketing slimming and toning treatments to your clients be real! Don’t make false promises guaranteeing a beautiful supermodel body in one session, because without the help of the surgeon’s knife this just simply isn’t possible.
Most slimming and toning treatments require a healthy diet and regular exercise as an essential aftercare routine. Doing this will mean your client will be getting the most from their treatments, and actually benefiting from the results.
Donna Freeman, Clinical Manager for Chromogenex, agrees: “The main important rule of offering body shaping inch loss treatments is to obviously offer a service that meets client expectations.
“Don’t be tempted to think that inch loss can be a quick fix treatment opportunity, for the majority of clients it will involve a lifestyle change. Inch loss cannot be obtained and maintained without some effort from the client, and then supporting that client with the necessary tools to reach their goal.”
Clients should also be informed of the realistic results they will be able to see, for example a guide on how many inches they are expected to lose. This way they will have the correct notion on how the treatment will work for them, and not be disappointed when they don’t look like Elle Macpherson after an hour.
The treatments you offer can provide a great confidence boost, and are ideal ways of motivating clients into new diet and exercise routines. This combination is what will ultimately make them look and feel great, but as everybody needs a little kick start, you will be there to let them know they don’t have to go it alone.

That’s a wrap
Body wraps are excellent treatments for slimming the body’s silhouette and losing inches. They also achieve the added bonus of hydrated and softened skin, with relaxed and soothed muscles.
The results are immediate, and most slimming and toning body wrap treatments include a measurement session at different points on the body before and after the wrap so an inch loss total can be given.
Various solutions can be applied under the wrap to treat different complaints, for example slimming and toning a mud masque or therapeutic cellulite-fighting lotion.
The client is then swathed in heated bandages or a thermal blanket and left
to rest, this relaxes muscles, opens pores and encourages sweating to flush out toxins.
Éminence Organic body wraps, from Anne McDevitt Products, offer salons and Spas the opportunity to tailor a list of body treatments to suit their own client base. Salons that don’t have shower or Spa facilities can still use the system, as all the products are water- soluble and can be sponged off.
For a Winter warming body wrap to combat fatty pockets, begin with a vitamin C rich Cranberry Pomegranate Sugar Scrub, and warming Butchers Broom to exfoliate and increase circulation.
Follow by applying the spicy warm Hungarian Herbal Cellulite treatment to the fatty areas - the heat will drive in ground ivy, paprika and stinging nettle.
The Universal Contour Wrap® Classic from Body Wrap Supplies offers your clients a quick fix solution for inch loss.
