A: The customer will have 10 minutes to prepare themselves for the Fit in the privacy of their own room. The infrared session is 50 minutes long.

A: The Fit is a full body wrap, similar to lying in a sleeping bag. The shape allows for full coverage and the avoidance of any cold spots. During the session you can personally adjust the level of heat within 4 different zones: arms, abdomen, upper legs, and lower legs.

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 shape, and a loss of inches, 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 through Infrared Body Wraps. Common sense dictates that if a client is on a wrap program and then eats or drinks excessively most of the results will be negated. Experience worldwide indicates 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 depend on each person’s particular make up and physiology.

A: Of course, any diet and lifestyle improvement will be benefit you, whether or not you decide to undertake an Infrared program. However, if you have made the commitment to the Infrared program then more value will be derived from that commitment if other lifestyle improvements are also undertaken.

A: Infrared is the band of light we perceive as heat. We cannot see this band of light with the naked eye, but we can feel this type of light in the form of heat. Our sun produces most of its energy output in the infrared segment of the spectrum. Infrared rays heat your body without having to heat the air in-between, through a process called conversion.

The infrared is divided into 3 segments by wavelengths, measured in microns; 0.76~1.5 microns-near;1.5~5.6 microns-middle;5.6~1000 microns-far infrared. Among these segments, only far infrared penetrates organic substances such as the human body two to three inches so that the warming effect is very uniform.

A: Far infrared energy (FIR) is a part of the natural light spectrum minus the UV element. The FIT Infrared Body Wraps are 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 900 to 1400 calories in a 60-minute session providing body shaping and detoxification.

A: It is essential to drink water before, during and after a session; allowing the body to stay hydrated and replace body fluids that have been sweated out during the session. Drinking a lot of water will help eliminate the toxins in your system that the body wraps target.

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 Infrared Body Wrap sessions can be done as often as every 2 days. For best results, use the Infrared Body Wrap right before a workout as this will help burn the most dramatic number of calories and also have the maximum impact on one’s 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 maintenance only schedule, which for most people, should be around 2 to 4 times a month.

A: Both FIT Infrared Body Wraps and tanning beds 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 next day should be perfectly fine.

A: The infrared energy in a FIT Body wrap is not only safe, but also highly beneficial for your body. As with anything, you should always consult with your own doctor if you have any questions on whether a FIT Body wrap is appropriate for you. And some people should not use FIT Body wraps. Reading the following safety precautions is the first step towards determining if the Fit is right for you.

Prescription Drugs: If you are using prescription drugs, check with your physician or pharmacist for possible changes in the drug’s effect due to an interaction with infrared energy.

Certain Ailments: It may be inadvisable to raise your core temperature if you have adrenal suppression, systemic lupus erythematosus, or multiple sclerosis. We strongly advise you to consult with your own doctor if you have any of these conditions.

Joint Problems: If you’ve had a recent (acute) joint injury, you should not heat that area for the first 48 hours after the injury, or until the hot and swollen symptoms subside. Joints that are chronically hot and swollen may respond poorly to a FIT Body Wrap.

Pregnancy: If you’re pregnant, or if you think you might be, we do not recommend a FIT Body Wrap.

Medical Implants: Metal pins, rods, artificial joints, or any other surgical implants generally reflect infrared rays and are not heated by infrared heat systems. Nevertheless, you should consult your doctor before you come in for a FIT Body Wrap. If you experience pain near any implant after a FIT Body Wrap, you should not have another one.

Silicone: Silicone does absorb infrared energy. Implanted silicone may be warmed by infrared rays. Since silicone melts at over 200 degrees Celsius, it should not be adversely affected by a FIT Body Wrap. However, we advise you to check with your own doctor to be certain.

Menstruation: Heating of the lower back area for women during their menstrual period may temporarily increase menstrual flow. Once a woman is aware that this is occurring, she can choose to allow herself to experience this short-term effect without worry. Or you may simply want to avoid FIT Body Wraps at that time in your cycle. Many women report that the heat reduces menstrual cramping.

Hemorrhage: Hemophiliacs, people on blood thinning medications, and anyone predisposed to hemorrhage should avoid FIT Body Wraps, or any type of heating that would induce vasodilatation that can lead to the tendency to bleed.

Worsened Conditions: Should any condition worsen with the use of a FIT Body Wrap, we recommend that you discontinue your use of the system.

Pain: You should not experience any pain during a FIT Body Wrap. If you do, it is clearly inappropriate for you at that time.
