Wraps which contain caffeine are extremely effective and have a
multitude of benefits, usually there is between 3 and 5% of caffeine present
which is a good balance to ensure best results. Caffeine is a major stimulate when it is applied to areas
affected with cellulite and fatty deposits and will effectively unclog the
tissues. A caffeine wrap will help increase the metabolism, help increase the
blood flow and facilitates the swift burning of fat in the adjoining areas.
Caffeine plays an important part in the fat burning process itself and this is
reinforced when used in conjunction with algae extracts.
Such body wraps are able to stimulate the process of Lipolysis
(fat burning) and are able to remove fat which is accumulated in the adipocytes,
the cells in which fat is stored. Caffeine is a decongestant, a property which
is reinforced by the other “draining” plant extracts such as ivy and horse
chestnut. The texture of the product should be light like a slightly
gelled emulsion and soft enough to be massaged into the affected areas. This is
important as with this anti-cellulite treatment the massage plays a very
important role in firstly assisting the product to penetrate into the skin and
secondly it aides in the drainage of Lipolysis. In order to have a complete
slimming action an anti-cellulite treatment/creams or gels should have one or
more ingredients that will promote peripheral microcirculation and fat burning. Following this caffeine wrap cellulite is visibly reduced and
the tissues are effectively unclogged resulting in skin that is smoother,
softer, firmer and noticeably slimmer.

removed with tissue or steam towels. The last product is then massaged in

rolling action this is important to promote fat separation.
Why a slimming wrap with caffeine is efficient?
Caffeine is an excellent, active and powerful Lipolytic (ability to break down fat) It causes a cascading action which leads to help the retrieval of fat cells, it inhibits glucose storage and helps slow the growth of these fat cells Adipocytes (fat cells) are located at the hypodermis, very deep into the skin. This layer is vascularised and therefore allows penetration and absorption of a percentage of caffeine into the blood, however the dose likely to penetrate the fat cells would be lessthan the quantity absorbed when drinking coffee. It is always a smaller proportion that is used in dermal applications.
