Q: How long does each customer session take?
A: The client is wrapped for 50 minutes,
with around 10-15 minutes machine warm-up,
client set-up and unwrap time.
Q: What parts of the body can be targeted?
A: With the 6 high-density silicone
bandages, there are several options
available. For most women the bandages are
wrapped around the thighs, hips, abdomen,
and arms. For men, the usual configuration
is thighs, abdomen, chest, and arms. If the
arms don't need much toning up, the calves
can be wrapped instead. The heat to each of
the 6 bandages is individually controlled
therefore the level can be set according to
the customer's comfort level or if a
particular area is being targeted.
Q: What is the body reshaping opportunity
using the Formostar?
A: The answer greatly depends on the
physiological make-up of each individual.
Generally, the greater the excess weight
being carried, the faster and more dramatic
the reshaping results will be. Some people
will not experience significant weight loss
at all but will see improved body shaping,
losing centimeters or dress sizes. Extremely
physically fit people that don't carry
excess weight or inches can experience much
improved muscle tone. Obviously, the more
physically active a person is, the greater
the benefits that can be achieved from
Formostar. Common sense dictates that if a
client is on a Formostar program and then
eats or drinks excessively most of the
results will be negated. Ideally, Formostar
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 that
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.
Q: How & Why Does Formostar Far Infrared
Body Wrap Work?
A: Far infrared energy (FIR) is a part of
the natural light spectrum minus the UV
element that can damage the skin. The
Formostar 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 1200 calories in a 50
minute session providing body toning and
skin cleansing.
Q: How often can clients repeat Formostar
sessions?
A: This will depend on a person's lifestyle.
If a person is very physically active
undertaking significant walking, jogging,
working out, or competitive sports, then
Formostar sessions can be as often as every
2 days. For best results it is preferable
right before a workout as this will help
burn the most dramatic amount of calories
and also has maximum impact on body
definition. With relatively physically
inactive people, a minimum of 3 days between
sessions is recommended. More regular
sessions are unnecessary and may actually be
detrimental to results. Upon reaching the
intended body shape, it is possible to
revert to a maintenance only schedule, which
for most people, should be around 2 to 4
times a month.
Q: Can clients use multiple infrared
treatments, such as Formostar and a tanning
session, on the same day?
A: Both the Formostar and a tanning bed give
off infrared heat therefore it is possible
to receive a burn or heat rash if both
sessions are undertaken on the same day. It
is not recommended, especially if the client
is fair skinned and prone to burning.
Tanning the previous or the next day should
be perfectly fine.
Q: Who can use Infrared Heat?
A: Virtually everyone from all walks of life
can gain benefit from a Formostar Far
Infrared programme. However, sessions should
not be undertaken unless clients have
received their Doctor's advice where any of
the following conditions exist:Over activity
of the thyroid gland, cardiac infarction,
cardiac weakness, constriction of the
coronary blood vessels, marked high or low
blood pressure, diabetes requiring insulin
treatment, disturbances to the function of
the kidneys and associated organs, fever,
severe general infection, contact allergies,
skin diseases, open wounds, newly acquired
shingles, pregnancy, prescribed medicines
causing increased sensitivity to physical
stimulation (for example antibiotics), cases
of severe varicose veins.As always, if any
doubt exists, it is recommended that clients
seek their doctor's or health practitioner's
advice.
Q: Should I drink water before or after a
session?
A: It is recommended that drinking water
before, during and after a session allows
the body to stay hydrated and replaces body
fluids that have been sweated out during the
session.
Q: Will changing dietary and health habits
improve results from the Formostar Far
Infrared sessions?
A: Of course any diet and lifestyle
improvement will be of benefit whether or
not people decide to undertake a Formostar
program. However, if a client has made the
commitment to the Formostar program then
more value will be derived from that
commitment if other lifestyle improvements
are also undertaken.
Q: What sort of clothing should I wear during the Infrared Wrap?
A: You should wear a long sleeve t-shirt and sweat pants. If you don't have a long sleeve t-shirt then a short sleeve t-shirt will do.
Q: Where is your clinic located?
A: Healing Laser Clinics is located 15 minutes North of downtown Orlando. We are located right off of the Lake Mary Blvd. exit on I-4. We are easily accessible from anywhere in Central Florida due to our close proximity to I-4 and 417.
