Rodica Review

Anesi Parafango Treatment (Body Tune Up)

Rodica is located off of the Magnificent Mile within Water Tower Place and upon entering you are enveloped by a calm ambience. The reason for my visit today? Rodica is offering a new treat, a Parafango Body Treatment (Parafango is paraffin that is mixed with special sea mud). A wonderful body slimming treatment, this wrap is relaxation at its best, plus a whole lot more… not only does this combination of paraffin and warm sea mud focus on easing tense muscles, but it also firms and tones the skin reducing the appearance of cellulite. Let's check it out.

First I am exfoliated by a Rodica technician with a cremefoliant, which is rubbed in thoroughly to increase the microcirculation and allow the skin to emanate a warm glow. Then, the parafango is applied to my entire body which produces a sedative, relaxing effect on strained muscles and body tissues. When the parafango is applied to the skin, it also stimulates both the circulation of the blood and the lymphatic flow that helps the body draw out toxins from around the fat cells. (Who doesn't like the sound of that?) Next I am covered from the neck down in a cocoon-like thermal wrap, which aids in improved heat retention to further stimulate blood circulation for faster relaxation. I am then left alone with relaxing music playing in the background of a softly lit spa room. (For optimum results the Parafango should be left on for 15 minutes, that is if you can handle intense relaxation for prolonged periods.) Finally, the wrap is removed and I am finished off with a massage which utilizes a crème modelage for rehydration and nourishment to the skin.

After the Parafango Treatment is complete, my body looks and feels noticeably firmer and appears more toned. Amazingly effective for losing inches and cellulite, it's no wonder this treatment has received the nickname "Body Tune Up".
