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 supposed to do. When men accumulate body fat tissue it is usually 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 the excess 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. Like heating butter in a frying pan, it liquifies 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 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. 
 
With infrared heat, it is known that it takes approximately 20 minutes for the heat to penetrate the skin and upper layers and reach the bone. During the remaining 30 minutes of the Infrared body wrap session, the heat rises and gets underneath the fat cells, including cellulite. It is now heating the body, including the ligaments and the joints as it begins breaking down the body fat and releasing the fat stores and toxins into the blood stream and sweat glands for removal from your body. This is a process that has worked for 25 years and cannot in any way be abbreviated. A few of our Salon operators have asked if they could promote a shorter session for some clients who are rushed or on some days, in a hurry. To do so would substantially eliminate any benefits to be derived from the entire process. It would leave the fat stores and the toxin removal process in mid stream. And the effect would be that the fat and toxins you are targeting would remain in the system until such time that a full 50 minute session could be implemented. The temperature of the infrared body wrap remains constant from the first minute to the very last minute. This increases your metabolism for 50 minutes, which is what melts the fat away. The blood is thinned with the heat and it comes back in the area's 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.
