Shilpa
Shetty
introduces
new
treatment
at
her
medispa
chain
but
is
keeping
it
a
secret,
because
she
doesn't
want
rivals
to
steal
it.
This
is
a
first
time
that
the
actress
is
running
scared
of
the
competition.
The
actress
is
has
just
introduced
a
new
inch
loss
programme,
which
will
be
available
at
her
spas
but
isn't
revealing
much
because
she's
afraid
her
competitors
might
hijack
it.
Called
the
Inch
Loss
Wrap
(ILW)
system,
Shilpa
and
business
partner
Kiran
Bawa's
medispa
chain
offers
this
service
at
their
Mumbai
branches.
Says
Shilpa,
"During
my
travels
abroad,
I
came
across
this
unique
treatment." Where
did
she
first
try
it
herself
and
in
which
spa?
Shilpa
prefers
to
remain
tight-lipped
about
it.
"I
can't
tell
you
details
only
because
competitors
might
try
and
procure
it
from
there."
Is
it
an
American
product?
"I
can't
tell
you
that
either
but
it's
an
imported
and
completely
safe
treatment
without
side
effects.
I
did
it
out
of
intrigue
and
not
because
I
needed
to
lose
any
more
inches
but
it
was
miraculous,"
adds
the
actress.
She
says,
"Having
tried
it
myself,
I
was
amazed
at
the
results
and
resolved
to
introduce
it
in
India
for
the
first
time.
The
system
was
combined
with
our
existing
weight-loss
program,
and
a
study
was
conducted
on
its
efficacy.
We
recently
had
a
soft
launch
at
our
Khar
and
Ghatkopar
branches.I
lost
seven
inches
since
I
don't
have
that
much
water
retention!
Some
people
lose
up
to
22
inches
all
over."
The
Inch
Loss
Wrap
drains
the
toxins
accumulated
in
the
body.
Toxins
are
metabolic
waste
generated
by
the
body
that
build
up
over
a
long
period
and
are
stored
in
interstitial
fluid
between
fat
cells.
Due
to
accumulation
of
these
toxins,
the
person
looks
fatter.
The
ILW
does
not
alter
fat
cells
but
reduces
the
size
of
the
fat
cells
and
thus
brings
about
an
inch
loss.
The
wrap
does
not
induce
weight
loss
but
inch
loss.
As
the
toxins
are
removed
from
the
interstitial
fluid,
the
fat
cells
get
compacted.
