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 target toxins
and cellulite trapped in pockets below the surface of the skin. The secret
of the SlimStar system is the way that the deep heat therapy activates the
function of natural enzymes and metabolism within the tissues.
You may burn 1200 or more calories in just one 50-minute session and potentially
see and feel results from your very first session, and the inch loss from
infrared treatments are permanent -- unlike many of the generic body wraps
you may have used.
SlimStar Features
The InfraRed Body Wrap System is a targeted Infra Red heat system usually
found Medi-Spas, and Medical offices that target specific inch loss, weight
loss, and cause improved skin conditions from Acne, Psoriasis, Cellulite removal
and more.
One of the best features is that you don't even have to take your clothes
off to do this. Just wear absorbent clothing and we will wrap you in the hygenic
silicone wraps for a 50 minute treatment. The whole process of setting up
takes only 5-10 minutes so you can relax, lay back, and enjoy the process
of burning calories and detoxifying your body.
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 receive
the majority of our blood flow. It is virtually impossible to "work off"
some fats 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 gets colder toward
the outer skin layer. Consequently, the outer areas of the body tend to be
around 10 degrees Celsius cooler and this is where excess fat is typically
deposited.
In order to achieve body toning, it is typically 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 out
in a 50 minute session.

SlimStar: Frequently Asked Questions
How long does each session take?
You will be wrapped for 50 minutes, with 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 heat level can be adjusted 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 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’ll want to do this with a balanced
exercise and eating program. 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 may not be quite as dramatic.
The rule of thumb for most people is 6 sessions = 1 dress size loss -- but
again, there are many variables at work here.
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 once 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: Overactivity 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 benefit
your life. 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, too and you rarely
hear of them any more. The loss from those treatments were all losses of water
weight, so even though the inch loss was dramatic, everything would be gained
back as soon as the client re-hydrated. 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. 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 a bit
slower but is definitely permanent.
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 . 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 endorse your treatment.
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 nice clothing;
instead, wear sweats and a t-shirt or sweatshirt. Be careful to remove body
jewelry and don’t wear any clothing with zippers or rivets, as they
con conduct heat and burn the skin.
