In today’s world of body care, numerous methods promise smoother, firmer skin. Two of the most popular are the anti-cellulite massage and body wraps. But can these two be combined effectively? The answer is a resounding yes. At MONLIS Studio Munich, this combination is a proven method to maximize results and enhance the effects of each individual treatment.
What Is an Anti-Cellulite Massage?
Anti-cellulite massage uses deep, targeted techniques to stimulate subcutaneous fat tissue, activate the lymphatic system, and boost blood circulation. The goal is to support detoxification, enhance metabolism, and visibly tighten the skin.
Different methods can be applied — from kneading and cupping to vacuum or manual techniques — always tailored to the client’s needs and target areas.
What Are Body Wraps and How Do They Work?
Body wraps involve applying active creams, gels, or algae masks to the body or specific areas, which are then wrapped in foil. The occlusive effect (heat and moisture retention) allows the ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin.
Benefits of body wraps include:
Detoxification
Reduction of fluid retention
Skin firming and toning
Tissue strengthening
At MONLIS Studio, body wraps are customized using high-quality ingredients like algae, caffeine, clay, or essential oils.
Why the Combination Works So Well
Combining both treatments offers multiple advantages:
Massage prepares the skin: It boosts circulation and opens pores, enhancing the skin’s ability to absorb active ingredients from the wrap.
Deeper ingredient penetration: The boosted blood flow ensures more effective action of the wrap.
Holistic results: Massage works mechanically, while the wrap delivers biochemical support — a two-pronged approach to cellulite.
Faster visible results: Clients often see improvements sooner when both methods are combined.
At MONLIS Studio, the sequence and intensity are tailored to each client’s skin condition and body type.

Massage phase: A 20–30 minute anti-cellulite massage activates the tissue.
Wrap phase: Active ingredients are applied, and the area is wrapped in foil.
Relaxation time: You relax for 30–40 minutes while the wrap works.

Total treatment time: approx. 70–90 minutes.
