Pre-Wrap Instructions for Mineral/Infrared Body Wrap

  • Clients are advised not to eat for approximately two hours prior to their wrap to prevent discomfort. If you need to eat please eat something very light, no later than one hour prior to wrap, like a piece of fruit or small snack.
  • Clients are advised not to drink a lot of fluids for approximately two hours prior to the wrap to avoid the need to use the restroom while wrapped.
  • The client should always bathe before coming in for a wrap to ensure the body is cleaned of all lotions and perspiration.
  • Please do NOT to use oils, lotions, cream-type bar soaps or perfumes before the wrap as this may clog the pores and decrease the wrap results.
  • Self-tanners should not be used for at least 2 days prior to the wrap.
  • Female clients should wear a wireless bra (or sports bra) and panties or thongs to be wrapped in. Bras with an underwire may cause bruising or irritation.
  • Men should wear a pair briefs and a pair of boxer shorts over the briefs to be wrapped in. Boxers alone are often too thin, have the front opening, and may cause unnecessary embarrassment.
  • Clients should bring dry undergarments to wear after their wrap.
  • Female clients are discouraged from having a wrap during their menstrual cycle. A wrap during this time may cause the client discomfort.
  • Please arrive 10 – 15 minutes prior to their appointment to prevent delays and have enough time to fill out your client questionnaire.
