What is the Infrared Body Wrap System?
The Body Wrap System is a targeted infrared heat system commonly used for weight control, pain relief, improved skin conditions including acne, cellulite removal, inch loss and more.
What is a Bodywrap session like?
Infrared Bodywrap proprietary latex pads are wrapped onto target problem areas of your body while fully clothed in a cotton, fleece jogging suit. The wrapping process takes only 5 minutes.
While wrapped, infrared heat penetrates down to the bone and radiates outward, heating ligaments, joints and muscles while reaching toxins and cellulite that are trapped in pockets below the skin. You relax while burning up to 1,200 calories with each session.

Because infrared heat penetrates twice as deep as contact heat, it produces a passive cardiovascular effect. The client's metabolism rate rises and fat tissue begins to break.
The infrared energy effectively breaks down water molecules that store unwanted toxins, block blood circulation and impair cellular functions. This improved circulation helps to relieve pain and rejuvenate tissue.

What is Infrared Technology?
Simply put, it is a form of energy that heats objects without having to heat the air in between. This invisible band of light that can be felt in the form of heat principally comes from the sun. Human bodies naturally send and receive far infrared waves from each other.
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.
It has nothing to do with either ultraviolet radiation or atomic radiation. Infrared radiant heat is simply a form of energy that heats objects through a process called conversions, without having to heat the air in between. In fact, infrared lights are used in incubators to warm babies.
Infrared vs. Contact Heat
The Infrared Thermal System is the same as the beneficial heat emitted by the sun and that which is naturally produced by our bodies to keep us warm. As opposed to near infrared energy (6.0 to 8.0 microns short wavelength) that heats substances from the surface to the interior, far infrared energy (8.0 to 15.0 microns long wave) penetrates uniformly and up to 1.5 inches into the body. This accounts for the therapeutic advantages of infrared thermal systems over conventional saunas that employ hot air.
Specifically about inch loss & weight control
The idea behind doing any aerobic activity is to raise the heart rate and increase metabolism, which brings on a cardiovascular training and conditioning effect. It is then that calories are burned, leading to the much-desired result of inch loss.
Extensive research has shown that exposure to far infrared heat creates the same impact on the cardiovascular system. The rays that penetrate over 1.5 inches deep into muscular tissues and internal organs increase heart volume and rate. The body then cools itself by producing sweat as the heart pumps blood at a faster rate to boost circulation. This likens with the cardiovascular function necessary to burn calories and shed off weight.
Infrared thermal system produces two or three times more sweat. While the water lost can be regained by drinking, the calories cannot. Experts believe that as far infrared energy effectively expels toxins, it eliminates with it the fat that our bodies use to dilute toxins. Body fat becomes soluble at 110 degrees Fahrenheit and is discharged through perspiration.
Specifically about pain relief & injuries
Far infrared rays penetrate over 1.5 inches deep into muscular tissues and internal organs to increase heart volume and rate, conditioning the cardiovascular system.
Infrared waves steadily circulate blood, removing blockages in the blood vessels and allowing for proper oxygen distribution to all parts of the body.
Improved blood circulation produced by Infrared Bodywrap helps alleviate pain as well as revitalize tissues. Infrared Bodywrap provides pain management benefits and enhanced healing. This is why Infrared Bodywrap is used for sports injuries, back pain, arthritis and more.

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.
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. 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.
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 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 long sleeve fleece jogging suits with cotton socks. Please hydrate the body by drinking plenty of fluids prior to your visit.
Health Benefits
Infrared Bodywrap provides pain management benefits and enhanced healing to keep customers coming back for more. Women report excellent results for post pregnancy body shape recovery, fat loss and skin rejuvenation.
Infrared Bodywrap is also highly effective as a source of healing that improves circulation, cardiovascular, and immune systems. More effective than any traditional heat treatment, the InfraRed heat penetration goes twice as deep, getting at toxins and cellulite that are trapped in pockets below the skin.
Provides Rapid Inch Loss Effortlessly
The InfraRed Body Wrap makes it possible to lose inches rapidly in a safe way. The InfraRed deep heat therapy activates the functions of enzymes and metabolism. You can burn up to 1,200 calories in just one 50-minute session. That is why fat is reduced more rapidly. The secret to the Infrared Bodywrap is its rapid targeted inch loss and skin rejuvenation due to immediate blood and oxygen flow causing detoxification and improved skin condition.
Heat irradiation, in its most diverse form, has been used in internal medicine, Gynecology and Orthopedic Medicine. In addition, heat has long been used as a therapeutic measure. It has been used, for example, in the treatment of partially and chronically degenerative inflammatory since the beginning of the 20th century.
The thought to use local heat treatments, in whatever form, for weight reduction is not new. On examination of the metabolic functions of over-weight persons, it was found that the heat effect increased basic conversion and thus higher energy consumption occurs, with a consequent decrease in weight.
In more recent times it has been found that local heat therapy finds an even broader application.
Weight reduction, by the use of InfraRed heat treatment, is the conversion of the energy from food intake into heat which is then radiated from the body. This appears to be as a result of the fact that the enzyme activity of the fat cells is lowered.
Heat therapy has been used effectively on acute and chronic inflammatory illnesses. Degenerative diseases react well to heat because of the relaxation of the muscles and the analgesic effect of the heat.
By the heating up of the skin and the fatty tissue under the skin, the blood circulation is increased up to 3.5 times resulting in increased elimination of fats, toxins, and cellulites due to local InfraRed heat therapy.
For the treatment of orthopedic conditions, and particularly for athletes, InfraRed heat treatment typically provides a meaningful measure of relief.
Far InfraRed energy penetrates uniformly into the body, emitting the full bio-spectrum that penetrates the deep layers of the skin. This process stimulates molecular activity to promote the metabolism of skin cells. A good metabolic rate enables the skin tissues to produce new cells and replace old skin or dead skin cells.
Far InfraRed energy effectively breaks down water molecules that accumulate and store unwanted toxins in our body that block blood circulation and impair cellular functions. Exposure to far InfraRed waves steadily circulates blood, removing blockages in the blood vessels and allowing for proper oxygen distribution to all parts of the body. This action has had success in treating skin disorders such as acne, eczema and psoriasis.
