(ContentDesk) August 8, 2005 -- During a visit to your favorite beauty spa, you lie down, close your eyes, and doze off.
Sixty minutes later you awake feeling lighter, refreshed, and stress-free.
When you glimpse into a mirror, you gasp with delight -- your face and body appear younger and smoother.
More incredibly, your waist, hips, thighs and derriere all look smaller than they were just an hour before.
When you get home, you excitedly search through your closet, and locate a pair of impossibly tight jeans -- amazingly, they slide on and snap closed like butter.It may sound like a beauty shop fairy tale, but for women longing for a safe, stress busting one-hour body makeover, the new Dream Wrap from nationally known slenderizing expert Victoria Morton just might be a dream come true."It's a new lay-down beauty treatment that not only makes you look inches thinner - it
peels the stress right off you," says Morton, who recently introduced the innovative process nationally in 200 beauty salons licensed to deliver her popular Suddenly Slender line of mineral body wraps.Morton's new Dream Wrap uses a massage table with a ten speed motorized heat massage pad on top.
While lying on the warm, vibrating pads, the client is loosely wrapped in a mineral-drenched hypoallergenic blanket, and then cocooned in a watertight plastic sheet."It's not a tight wrap, they're just bundled up, including their cheeks and forehead," says Morton.
"The room is dim with soft music playing, and they just go to sleep."
After sixty minutes, the clients are gently woken from their slumber. "Naturally, they don't want to get up.
We put a hot robe on them, and they're weighed and measured," says Morton."We're using gravity, vibration, heat, and the effect of the warm liquid minerals to make dramatic changes in our clients' physical appearance, especially the midsection," says Morton.
Morton says the Dream Wrap became tremendously popular as soon as it was introduced to the public.
"Some clients offer to pay extra so they can stay bundled up more than sixty minutes," says Morton.
"Because this isn't a dehydration wrap, we can allow them to stay two or even three hours - and, boy, do they feel de-stressed when they finally emerge."
The cost of a sixty-minute Dream Wrap ranges nationally from $125 to $200.
Morton says the improvement in appearance from each Dream Wrap session is long lasting.For the location of a Suddenly Slender licensed salon nearest to you, visit www.suddenlyslender.com or call 800-221-6793.Media Contact: For media interviews or more information please contact Victoria Morton at 800-221-6793.
