Q. What is the Infrared Body Wrap System

A. The I-Wrap Infrared Body Wrap System uniquely combines far infrared heat commonly used in saunas with the benefits of body wrap treatments, to provide a highly effective way to reshape the body.

Far Infrared heat is transmitted through six heavy-0duty non-allergenic silicone bandages that are wrapped around the body as you lie on a message bed.  The body gently heats up during the 50 minute session inducing sweat, similar to how the body would react during exercise, helping to tone the body. I-Wrap is like working out while you lie down but without the anaerobic component.

The bandages are placed on specific areas of the body, targeting the arms, abdomen, hips and thighs for women and the chest, hips, thighs and calves for men.

In Germany it has been shown how the infrared body wrap system can help with body reshaping.  Two test groups used the body wrap over a period of weeks.  One group modified their diet while the other maintained their existing dietary and exercise habits.  Both groups achieved positive body reshaping results, though naturally the group that dieted generally achieved better results.

The positive experience of infrared body wrap users has resulted in I-Wrap’s Formostar Infrared Body Wrap system being sold to over 25,000 beauty salons, day spas, fitness centers, natural health practitioners, physiotherapy and massage clinics, worldwide.

Q. Why does it work?

A. The core temperature of our body is 37 degrees Celsius and constantly reduces toward the outside.  Consequently, the outer areas of the body tend to be around 10 degrees Celsius colder and this is where excess fat is typically deposited.

In order to achieve body toning, it is necessary to undergo sustained cardiovascular exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes, 3 to 4 times per week.  During exercise, the body temperature rises and sweat is generated as the body attempts to cool itself.  At the same time, the heart works harder pumping blood at a greater rate to boost circulation.  Heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate increase, while diastolic blood pressure drops, improving overall cardiovascular fitness and burning off fat deposits.

It is accepted that a moderately conditioned person can easily sweat off 500 gram in a traditional sauna, consuming nearly 300 Kcal ( Kilocalories)- the equivalent of running 23 miles.  It is also know that one gram of sweat requires 0,586 Kcal.  The implications are that Far Infrared heat directed directly to the body via the silicon bandages will allow between 970-1460 kcal to be sweated off in 50 minutes.

Far Infrared energy (FIR) is a part of the natural light spectrum minus the UV element that can damage the skin.  The I-Wrap Far Infrared Body Wrap has been designed to output energy in the 5.6 to 25 micron FIR band also peaking around the 9.4 micron level to achieve maximum effectiveness.  When  FIR energy penetrates through the skin it transforms from light energy to heat energy and elevates the temperature of the subcutaneous layers.  The body’s absorption of this energy simulates a workout, burning up to 1400 calories in a 50 minute session providing toning and skin cleansing.

Q. How does Far Infrared Rays help with weight loss?

A.  Far Infrared Rays heat therapy can aid in weight loss by speeding up the metabolic process of vital organs and endocrine glands, resulting in substantial caloric loss in one body wrap session.  Perspiring is part of the complex thermoregulartory  process of the body that increases the heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate.  The process requires a large amount of energy and reduces excess moisture, salt and subcutaneous fat.  Fat becomes water soluble at 110 degrees Fahrenheit and the body sweats out fats and toxins.

Q. Does Far Infrared Rays help reduce Cellulite?

A. Yes!  Cellulite is a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and wastes which are trapped in pockets below the skin.  Toxins accumulate in the body during modern daily living and body eliminates most toxins naturally by sweating but the process is sometimes too slow.  I-Wrap can assist this condition, as infrared heat therapy stimulates the sweat glands that cleanse and detoxify the skin.  The Far Infrared Rays heat technology simply speeds up the body’s natural process.

Q. What are the therapeutic benefits of Radiant Infrared Ray heat therapy?

A. Benefits include:

- Promotes the breakdown of fat leading to a reduction of cellulite and weight loss

-Burns 1000s of calories to promote weight loss, body fat and body mass reduction.

-Encourages detoxification of accumulated toxins and metabolic waste.

-Eliminates retention of liquids that prevent proper fat management by the body.

-Improves skin elasticity

A. The answer greatly depends on the physiological make-up of each individual.  Generally, the greater the excess weight being carried, the faster the more dramatic the reshaping results will be.  Some people will not experience significant weight loss at all, but will see improved body shaping, losing inches or dress sizes.  Extremely physically fit people that don’t carry excess weight or inches can experience much improved muscle tone.  The more physically active a person is, the greater the benefits that can be achieved from I-Wrap.  Common sense dictates that if a client is on an I-Wrap program and then eats or drinks excessively most of the results will be negated.  Ideally, I-Wrap will be of most value with a balanced exercise and eating program.  Clients that lead a very sedentary lifestyle can still achieve great results over a longer period assuming that they exercise adequate control over dietary and other general health factors.  Experience worldwide indicates hat the rule of thumb is one clothes size reduction in 6 to 10 sessions with 2 to 3 days between each session.  However, as previously indicated, results will be dependent on each persons particular make up and physiology.
