Seaweed vs. Hydra-Thermal: Which Body Wrap is Right for You?

When stress builds up, and your skin starts to feel tired, a body wrap can be the perfect way to reset, refresh, and rejuvenate. But with so many options, how do you know which one to choose?

 At Altha, we offer two powerful wrap treatments— Seaweed Body Wrap and Hydra-Thermal Body Wrap—both designed to restore balance to your body and skin. While they share some similarities, each treatment has its own unique benefits. One is focused on deep detoxification, while the other is all about intense hydration and nourishment.

 So, which one is right for you? Let’s explore the differences so you can choose the perfect wrap for your needs.

Seaweed Body Wrap: A Detoxifying Reset

If your body is feeling heavy, sluggish, or congested, or your skin is in need of a deep cleanse and detox the Seaweed Body Wrap is your perfect reset. This wrap is rich in Laminaria (kelp), Horse Chestnut, and other trace minerals that work together to deeply cleanse the skin, eliminate toxins, and boost circulation, all whilst restoring essential nutrients.

How It Works

This finely ground, calcified seaweed has a high absorbency rate, meaning it pulls out impurities while replenishing vital nutrients. It’s packed with calcium, magnesium, iodine, and zinc—all essential for skin renewal and detoxification. Think of it as a purifying ritual for your skin and body, leaving you feeling lighter, more energised, and refreshed.

Key Benefits:

•      Detoxifies & Draws Out Impurities – The purifying properties make it a great choice for those prone to congested skin or anyone looking for a deep cleanse.

• Boosts Circulation – Ingredients like rosemary stimulate blood flow, enhancing skin vitality, which can improve skin texture and tone.

•. Firms & Tones the Skin – A great option for reducing the appearance of cellulite.

• Supports Lymphatic Drainage – Helps the body flush out toxins naturally.
