I thought this was supposed to be at home but it keeps refering to "Client"--Isn't it unsafe to wrap in plastic wrap? Not a good idea for sure for someone with heart disease or diabetes. I have used a take-home kit, Tropical Spa Body Wraps, that come with a sauna suit and I did it by myself. I lost about 20 inches in the first wrap and had to put their solutions on first but it was relatively easy.
