What is Formostar?
The
Formostar Far Infrared Body Wrap System is a deep heat
treatment that utilises the body's natural cooling process
to stimulate the metabolism. When heat is absorbed
by the body on a continuous basis, the blood circulation
is used to transport the excess heat as close as possible
to the skin's surface, inducing sweat, to help dissipate
it into the cooler atmosphere. Formostar utilises
Far Infrared energy to produce this heat as it can be
very efficiently abosrbed by the body when generated
around the 9.5 micron waveband.
To stimulate and maintain this natural metabolic cooling
process over a 50 minute session requires the body to
use energy. The effect is similar to undertaking
a vigorous workout but without any lung or muscle load.
As such the Formostar can help with:
The “Exclusive” Control Unit together with
six heavy-duty non-allergenic silicone wraps that contain
heat filaments. One wrap each for the
chest/abdomen area, stomach/hip area, two for the thighs
and the two variable wraps that can be used to target
specific areas such as aching shoulders, under-arm fat
deposits, fluidy calves or perhaps areas with pain.
The heat to each wrap can be controlled to suit a particular
physiology or a person’s tolerance to heat.
Each wrap has a colour coded Velcro fastener which
matches the colour coded output jack on the Control Unit.
Each session takes 50 minutes with a 10-minute warm up
period. The 50 minutes is necessary in order to
obtain the best results. Studies have
shown that it takes a moderately conditioned body 20 to
30 minutes to heat up (this includes exercise and other
heat based treatments) and that the major therapeutic
value to the body occurs after that warming up process.
A Formostar
session is undertaken lying down on a massage bed and
cotton clothing is worn. Many people feel deep relaxation,
read a book, watch TV or even have a quick sleep.
