A member asked:

Are those wraps for your waist, thighs, etc that i see online and elsewhere safe?

Dr. John Fung answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Safe but ineffective: I assume you are speaking about wraps to help lose weight or detoxify your body. While they may feel good while on, they do little to change body contours in the long run. In some cases, rashes can occur in the area of the wrap. The costs vary, but best save your money.
