Understanding the InfraRed Body Wrap System.

The first thing we need to establish is the understanding of what a body wrap is and what it is supposed to do.  When we accumulate body fat tissue, most commonly in men, it is from the waist upward. In women, it is from the waist down. When we accumulate body fat anywhere in the body, blood circulation becomes worse. As we accumulate more and more body fat, our circulation decreases even more. Because of a lack of blood circulation, we cannot metabolize or burn body fat. In addition, very little heat is being circulated to that part of your body. This result is what we call “cold spots.” When we take away the heat from that area of your body and it cools, the fat then turns from subcutaneous fat into cellulite.

Subcutaneous fat is very soft and easy to lose. Cellulite is almost like hard muscle that is hardened from the lack of blood circulation.

The purpose of the body wrap is to apply heat to the body in order to get underneath the fat tissue and thin the blood to allow it to get into the areas where fat tissue exists. Bringing the blood back into the areas that have had restricted blood flow causes the metabolism rates to rise. The heat softens the fat tissue and it begins to break up causing it to be released back into the blood stream in the form of calories to be burned up as energy. The body accumulates fat by a simple biological process. The food we eat contains calories that are stored in our blood stream. When we have an excess of calories, the body stores them as fat.

The InfraRed Body Wrap reverses this process by breaking the fat down into calories and placing them back into the blood stream to be used as energy.

It is just like heating butter in a frying pan. It liquefies the fat, converts it to calories and puts it back into the blood stream so your body can convert it into energy.

To reiterate, the purpose of the body wrap is to get heat into the body, thin the blood, bring metabolism back into the “cold spots” and melt the fat tissue down.

Looking at Other Body Wraps

Although clay, mud and seaweed body wraps try to achieve the same results, there are major differences between how the InfraRed Body Wrap and other body wraps work. Clay bandages are heated in a pot. The problem with this is that once they are removed, they quickly decrease in temperature. Time is then spent wrapping the client, which takes 15 minutes or more. During the wrapping process, the bandages continue to decrease in temperature. So once the client is wrapped, the heat level has gone so low that the system is only effective for the initial 10 to 20 minutes of the one-hour treatment. The heat dissipates and becomes virtually inadequate. (Keep in mind that clay wraps warm the body from the outside in.)

Understand that the argument, against other methods of wrapping, does not claim that they do not work. The claim is that they are not as effective. Following is another example of how other wraps are not as effective. A sauna warms the body from the outside in, which makes the body release sweat within minutes. The body’s natural function is to keep cool causing the body to merely perspire. Therefore, any temporary reduction in weight is generally from water that has been perspired.

The InfraRed Body Wrap, as opposed to the above methods, uses infrared heat. Through the many years of its use, infrared has come to be known as a treatment with many benefits. It has been used in hospitals, chiropractic centers, and is used by sports therapists.

The great thing about infrared heat is that it is able to penetrate the body and go directly to the bone. This is why the Infrared Body Wrap is sometimes used for sports injuries. When you damage a muscle, the heat goes right to the bone and promotes blood circulation which helps alleviate the pain. In addition, pain such as arthritis is relieved.

The InfraRed Body Wrap does not warm the body from the outside in; it warms from the inside out.

Once the heat has reached the bone, the heat rises. It gets right underneath the fat cells, including cellulite. It warms the body at a constant temperature because it is done with a constant electric infrared heating pad, and not something that loses its heat like clay bandages. The temperature remains constant from the first to the last minute.

When someone goes to the gym to do a cardiovascular exercise, during the first 20 minutes of the workout, the body is just warming up. Then from the 21st minute on, the body begins to burn fat. The InfraRed Body Wrap increases your metabolism for 50 minutes, which melts the fat away. The blood is thinned with the heat and it comes back in to the areas of the fat tissue. It jumpstarts metabolism, which breaks down the body fat, and releases it back into the bloodstream for the body to use up as energy.

The InfraRed Body Wrap can burn up to 1200-2500 calories per wrap. That is why the system is so effective. When using the InfraRed Body Wrap, you are wrapped right over your clothes eliminating any awkwardness of wrapping naked as required by other body wraps. We recommend coming in wearing a cotton long sleeved t-shirt and loose cotton sweats or jeans.

InfraRed Heat

Formostar Body Wrap System is commonly used for conditions such as inch loss, weight management, pain management, improved skin, cellulite reduction and more. Formostar uses InfraRed radiant energy to directly penetrate the body’s tissues up to a depth of 2 ?”. Its energy output is tuned to correspond so closely to the body’s own radiant energy that our bodies absorb close to 93% of the InfraRed waves that reach our skin.

What exactly is radiant heat? No need to worry--it has nothing to do with either ultraviolet radiation or atomic radiation. Is InfraRed heat safe? Yes…. InfraRed 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.

Radiant heat is simply a form of energy that heats objects directly through a process called conversion, without having to heat the air in between. Radiant heat is also called InfraRed energy (IR). Our sun produces most of its energy output in the InfraRed segment of the spectrum. Our atmosphere has a “window” in it that allows IR rays in the 7-14 micron range to safely reach the earth’s surface.

According to Dr. Tsu-Tsair Oliver Chi, these rays are selectively absorbed by the tissues needing a boost in their output. The internal production of InfraRed energy that normally occurs within our tissues is associated with a variety of healing responses and may require a boost to a maximal level to insure the fullest healing response possible in a tissue under repair. After boosting a tissue’s level to maximum, the remaining rays pass onward harmlessly. This phenomenon is called “resonant absorption.”
