Spa Treatment Reduces Tummy, Thighs

UPDATED: 12:22 pm EST November 29, 2005

The holidays are upon us, and for many people, that means holiday parties.

If you're looking for a way to fit into that little black dress, but haven't exactly been dieting, the answer may be at the spa. In one quick visit you can lose inches from your tummy and thighs, reported WCAU-TV in Philadelphia.

The Ilona Bio-Aesthetics Day Spa in Wayne, Pa., performs a body mask that takes inches off.

The treatment begins with an application of essential oils, then a scrub, then more oils. Then the mask is applied, the leg is wrapped in plastic and then the heating blanket is put on. You wait about 20 minutes, and then everything is removed.

Kristina's thigh measured 24 inches before the treatment. After undergoing treatment with just one leg, Kristina lost an inch from her leg.

The treatment is repeated for each body part, where you can lose up to 2 inches in each area.

It's purifying, detoxifying and creates a feeling of well-being.

Many spas offer a variety of body wraps and masks. You'll have to find the right one for your particular needs and wants.
