The SlimStar Infra-Wrap System
SlimStar is a highly effective weight control, inch loss, pain management, detoxification system that is fast, easy, and effective. It uses infrared heat that penetrates twice as deep as other heat sources to get toxins and cellulite trapped in pockets below the surface of the skin. The secret of the SlimStar system is the way the deep heat therapy activates the function of natural enzymes and metabolism within the tissues.
You can burn 1200 or more calories in just one 50-minute session and potentially see and feel results from your very first session. The best of all is that the inch loss from infrared is permanent unlike many of the body wraps you hear advertised.

How SlimStar Works: The Science
Losing Weight is quite simple... you simply need to burn more calories that you consume. Unused calories are stored as fat. Fat storage areas on women are primarily the thighs, buttocks, stomach, breasts and upper arms. Stored fat is known as "cold fat" as blood circulation is extremely low in fat storage areas. When we work out, our muscles and vital organs get the majority of our blood flow. It is virtually impossible to "work off" fat thru exercise. Limited blood circulation results in what is known as 'cold spots' where the fat hardens and over time leads to cellulite. The SlimStar Body wrap reverses this situation by applying infrared heat to the body.
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.
The implications are that Far Infrared heat applied directly to the body via the silicon bandages will allow between 970-1460 kcal to be sweated off in a 50 minute session.

SlimStar: Frequently Asked Questions
How long does each session take?
You will be wrapped for 50 minutes, with around 10-15 minutes machine warm-up, client set-up and unwrap time. It works out to be a great little getaway - our specially set up room features TV with DVD movies and a satellite stereo system. The whole experience will be extremely effective and fun.
What parts of the body can be targeted?
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.
How much weight will I lose from doing this?
This is a very vague question and the answer will greatly depend on you. Generally, the more you have to lose, the faster and more dramatic the weight loss. Some don't experience much weight loss at all but rather lose inches or dress sizes. If you are extremely physically fit and don't have much to lose - you'll experience much increased muscle tone. Some of the comments from already physically fit customers around the country who have done this were "I haven't seen my abs look like this in years!" and "This is really making my muscles stand out!" In fact the more physically active you are in your life, the greater the benefit you will achieve from SlimStar. On the other hand, we can't control what you do after your wrap and if you go home and pack down a large pizza with a dozen chicken wings, you will negate most of your results. Ideally, you want to do this with a balanced exercise and eating program. Now if you lead a very sedentary lifestyle without much physical activity at all, you will still benefit tremendously from SlimStar - it's just that your results will not be quite as dramatic.
The rule of thumb for most people is 6 sessions = 1 dress size lost but again, there are many variables at work there.
How often can I do the SlimStar?
This is going to depend on your lifestyle. If you're very physically active - meaning lots of walking, jogging, working out, or any competitive sports - you can do the SlimStar as often as every 2 days. You preferably want to do this right before a work out as this will help burn the most dramatic amount of calories (plus you'll look much more defined!) If you don't engage in much physical activity, then you'll need to skip 3 days between sessions. Doing it more often is unnecessary and may actually be detrimental to your results. Upon reaching goal weight, you may go on a maintenance only schedule which for most people will be 2-4 times a month or as needed. You will find that the SlimStar will greatly improve your sense of well being so you'll want to continue to use it even if you become Ms. America/ Mr. Universe.
What if I want to tan on the same day as doing the SlimStar?
Due to the fact that both the tanning bed AND the SlimStar give off infrared heat, it's quite possible to receive a burn or heat rash if doing both on the same day. Due to this fact, tanning and doing the SlimStar on the same day is not recommended - especially if you're fair skinned and prone to burning. Of course tanning the previous or the next day is perfectly fine.
What Is Infrared?
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.
Who can use Infrared Heat?
Virtually everyone from all walks of life can gain benefit from a SlimStar Far Infrared program. 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
Should I drink water before or after a session?
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.
Will changing dietary and health habits improve results from the SlimStar Far Infrared sessions?
Of course any diet and lifestyle improvement will be of benefit whether or not people decide to undertake a SlimStar program. However, if a client has made the commitment to the SlimStar program then more value will be derived from that commitment if other lifestyle improvements are also undertaken.
Isn't it just water weight that I lose after the session? I remember those body wrap commercials from 5 years ago that promised that we'd lose 3" on our first visit!
We remember these commercial quite well and obviously you don't hear them any more. That was all water weight so even though the inch loss was dramatic, everything would be gained back as soon as the client drank or ate. With SlimStar, we actually encourage you to bring a big bottle of water (we have them available at the store, too) and keep yourself hydrated during and after the session. The water is actually one of your best friends to fitness as it is extremely effective in flushing the toxins from your body. With SlimStar, the weight loss is achieved slower but it is definitely permanent - again barring you going home and eating pizza every night!
I have arthritis or back pain and I actually go tanning in your beds because the heat helps me feel better. Will this be as effective?
Absolutely times Ten! The reason that you find relief in tanning beds is due to the infrared heat generated from the UV producing lamps. However, the infrared energy that you receive from a tanning bed is only a fraction of what you'll receive from the SlimStar. Many arthritis patients swear by the SlimStar and find immense relief from pain. In fact, any type of joint or muscle pain is very effectively treated with the SlimStar - and I can tell you this from personal experience in just the last week! Of course we're not doctors and wouldn't dream of prescribing medical advice so please seek advice from you doctor if you have any debilitating physical ailments. There is a very good chance, however, that your doctor is quite familiar with the benefits of infrared and will send you right down to us!
What do you recommend I wear when I come in to do the SlimStar?
Since you will sweat, it's best to not wear any super nice clothing; instead, wear sweats and a t-shirt or sweatshirt - since we don't want the silicone bandages to be applied directly to skin.
