Hey everyone!

Has anyone tried these wraps to help with sagging skin?  I just didn't want to put the money into buying some if it is just a gimmick.  I have a large amount of sagging skin on my arms already and would like to feel more comfortable about wearing short sleeves.  If these help then I will try it. 

Thanks for the advice.

I have heard that they don't really work.

They do work to help tighten skin.... but if you have alot of stretch marks.. then  they can't repair that... so don't really tighten there... I have used them and they work great at tightening.. but if you don't have a good diet... or drink lots of water.. then they won't work

There are also "cheaper" ones than it works.. as i'm finding now they are getting very expensive ( they used to be 4 for $59... now think they are 4 for $99)  if you go to amazon.. and type in weight loss wraps.. it should bring up a bunch of different ones...  Even just a defining gel... (you can buy this at walmart...or any drug store) will work great as well

Nothing you apply topically will help tighten or remove loose skin. These wraps may provide a temporary tightening/smoothing effect on the surface of the skin, but it's not magic.

 

There's a few ingredients out there that can help to temporarily do this (for a few hours). A cheap substitute is preparation H and Saran Wrap. It's an old model trick.
