Infrared body wraps are machines that have typically 6 silicone pads that emit infrared heat from them. They differ from traditional body wrap because most traditional body wraps usually on help with water weight loss.

Infrared body wraps emit this infrared heat to the 6 targeted areas of your body, most women focus on cellulite areas.

The infrared heat does help with water weight loss but also increases your metabolism and burns calories. Although water weight can come back, the calories lost will not.

Typically, infrared body wraps are for commercial use and are found at medi-spas, day spas, and beauty salons.

Ask your local spa if they offer Formostar Infrared Body Wraps.

Infrared Therapy is defined as the use of Infrared as by infrared lamps or heating pads to relieve pain and increase circulation to a particular area of the body.

To better understand infrared therapy, we have to have a better understanding of what type of infrared rays we are speaking about. Infrared heat is a form of energy that is produced by the sun. Infrared divides into three infrared waves: near or close, middle or intermediate, and far or long. Infrared light cannot be seen by the human eye, but we know that infrared is present by feeling the warmth on our skin.

Infrared has the longest wavelength of color. We feel infrared as heat. This is the same heat our bodies create and the same heat we feel from the sun. Infrared is also the same type of heat that comes off an electric stove burner after it is turned off.

Now that we have a better understanding of infrared therapy, we can discuss the following statements made by doctors in the field of infrared.

Dr. Sasaki Kyuo, M.D., has done extensive research on the therapeutic uses of infrared therapy. She is the author of "The Scientific Basis and Therapeutic Benefits of Far Infrared Ray Therapy." Dr. Kyuo reports successful treatments of many illnesses by using infrared therapy. The list of illnesses include: facial numbness; shoulder, back, and knee pain; weight loss; lower blood pressure.

Dr. Yamajaki, a researcher and writer of "Infrared Therapy," noted the following results from infrared therapy:

Burn Relief - relieves pain and decreases healing time, with less scarring

Lowers Blood Pressure

Helps with Auto Accident Injury - Daily sessions were used until the best healing was attained for soft tissue injury. Sessions were also used to deal with permanent residuals. The pain control effect on the chronic residuals from such injuries lasted three days before another treatment was necessary.
