Yes, infra-red heat is within the same frequency levels as our own body heat and this is in tune with our own energy system. It is therefore safe and compatible for us to use, allowing deep heat penetration that is not possible with other methods of heating. Of course we're not doctors and wouldn't dream of prescribing medical advice so please seek advice from you doctor if you have any debilitating physical ailments. There is a very good chance, however, that your doctor is quite familiar with the benefits of infrared and will send you right down to us! Back to TopHow long is the actual time that you're wrapped?50 Minutes is the actual session time. Do expect to be here about 60-65 minutes total. It works out to be a great little getaway - our specially set up room features a relaxing atmosphere and a CD Stereo system, so you can fall asleep to the sound of our special relaxing music. The whole experience will be extremely effective and actually fun. Back to TopWhat parts of my body does the InfraRed Body Wrap work on?There are several variations that are available. For most women, the special silicone bandages are wrapped around the thighs, hips, abdomen, and arms. For men, the usual configuration is thighs, abdomen, chest, and arms. If you feel that your arms don't need much toning up, the calves can be wrapped instead. We also have the ability to individually 'turn up the heat' on certain areas that you may want extra attention on. Back to TopHow much weight will I lose from doing this?This is a very vague question and the answer will greatly depend on you.
Generally, the more you have to lose, the faster and more dramatic the weight
loss. Some don't experience much weight loss at all but rather lose inches or
dress sizes. If you are extremely physically fit and don't have much to lose -
you'll experience much increased muscle tone. Some of the comments from already
physically fit customers around the country who have done this were "I haven't
seen my abs look like this in years!" and "This is really making my muscles
stand out!" In fact the more physically active you are in your life, the greater
the benefit you will achieve from our InfraRed Body Wrap System. On the other
hand, we can't control what you do after your wrap and if you go home and eat a
large pizza with cokes, desert and etc; you will negate most of your results.
Ideally, you want to do this with a balanced exercise and eating program.
Now if you lead a very sedentary lifestyle without much physical activity at
all, you will still benefit tremendously from the InfraRed Body Wrap System -
it's just that your results will not be quite as dramatic. Back to TopHow & Why does your Infrared Body Wrap System work?To truly understand the science behind 'the benefits of Infrared light' I really recommend that you read the Infrared Thermal System documentation. It's a pretty long read but it's really enlightening about the hows and whys of Infrared. I can tell you that a 50 minute session will burn 1200+ calories and after you do your first session, you will have no doubt about that statement. Clinical studies have also been done on Formostar and I will provide that link again for you as well: Clinical Study of the Formostar. If you have a difficult time opening either of these files, it means you don't have Acrobat Reader on you computer. You can download that software for free from the Adobe's website. Back to TopIsn't it just water weight that I lose after the session? I remember those body wrap commercials from 5 years ago that promised that we'd lose 3" on our first visit!We remember these commercial quite well and obviously you don't hear them any more. That was all water weight so even though the inch loss was dramatic, everything would be gained back as soon as the client drank or ate. With InfraRed Body Wrap System, we actually encourage you to bring a big bottle of water (we have them available at the store, too) and keep yourself hydrated during and after the session. The water is actually one of your best friends to fitness as it is extremely effective in flushing the toxins from your body. With InfraRed Body Wrap System, the weight loss is achieved slower but it is definitely permanent - again barring you going home and eating pizza every night! Back to TopI have arthritis or back pain and I actually go tanning in your beds because the heat helps me feel better. Will this be as effective?Absolutely times Ten! The reason that you find relief in tanning beds is due to the infrared heat generated from the UV producing lamps. However, the infrared energy that you receive from a tanning bed is only a fraction of what you'll receive from the InfraRed Body Wrap System. Many arthritis patients swear by the InfraRed Body Wrap System and find immense relief from pain. In fact, any type of joint or muscle pain is very effectively treated with the InfraRed Body Wrap System! Of course we're not doctors and wouldn't dream of prescribing medical advice so please seek advice from you doctor if you have any debilitating physical ailments. There is a very good chance, however, that your doctor is quite familiar with the benefits of infrared and will send you right down to us! Back to TopHow often can I do the InfraRed Body Wrap System?This is going to depend on your lifestyle. If you're very physically active - meaning lots of walking, jogging, working out, or any competitive sports - you can do the InfraRed Body Wrap System as often as every 2 days. You preferably want to do this right before a work out as this will help burn the most dramatic amount of calories (plus you'll look much more defined!) If you don't engage in much physical activity, then you'll need to skip 3 days between sessions. Doing it more often is unnecessary and may actually be detrimental to your results. Upon reaching goal weight, you may go on a maintenance only schedule which for most people will be 2-4 times a month or as needed. You will find that the InfraRed Body Wrap System will greatly improve your sense of well being so you'll want to continue to use it even if you become Ms. America/ Mr. Universe. ;) Back to TopWhat if I want to tan on the same day as doing the InfraRed Body Wrap System?Due to the fact that both the tanning bed AND the InfraRed Body Wrap System give off infrared heat, it's quite possible to receive a burn or heat rash if doing both on the same day. Due to this fact, tanning and doing the InfraRed Body Wrap System on the same day is not recommended - especially if you're fair skinned and prone to burning. Of course tanning the previous or the next day is perfectly fine. Back to TopWhat do you recommend I wear when I come in to do the InfraRed Body Wrap System?Since you will sweat, it's best to not wear any super nice clothing; instead, wear sweats and a t-shirt or sweatshirt - since we don't want the silicone bandages to be applied directly to skin.
