Infrared body wrap treatment can help speed up the medical weight loss process. Still, the formula for losing weight has not changed over the years. You need to consume fewer calories than your body needs daily, forcing it to tap into fat reserves for energy. A diet helps reduce your calorie intake, and exercise helps burn off calories.
How an infrared body wrap helps with weight loss
Infrared body wrap therapy is a cosmetic procedure that involves using infrared beams to heat parts of the body to raise a patient’s core body temperature. It stimulates the release of fat, toxins, cholesterol, metabolic waste, and sweat from the body.
Patients are wrapped with a body wrap that is connected to equipment that produces infrared light. The average session lasts about an hour, and patients typically sweat profusely during the final 10 minutes of the treatment.
Body wrap therapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical weight loss treatment that speeds up weight loss when combined with an appropriate diet and exercise program. Important facts that patients should know about medical weight loss treatment with infrared body wraps include the following:
1. Promotes weight loss
Treatment with body wraps stimulates the production of up to five times more sweat than the body releases during exercise. The heat created by the infrared light also speeds up the patient’s metabolism, helping to break down stored fat. The treatment may help get rid of fat from areas like the thighs and waist.
2. Reduces cellulite
The term “cellulite” refers to the type of fat that forms right beneath a person’s skin and makes it look lumpy. Infrared body wrap treatments can speed up the removal of these types of fat, reducing the appearance of cellulite.
3. Clears up the skin
The process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of skin takes longer as a person ages. This can lead to issues like pores becoming clogged, making skin appear dull. Infrared wraps stimulate the production of sweat, which speeds up the process of shedding dead skin cells and cleansing pores. As a result, the patient’s skin looks rejuvenated following the treatment.
4. Speeds up recovery from injuries and reduces pain
The heat generated by infrared wraps increases blood circulation. This can help speed up recovery after injuries like strains and sprains because increased blood circulation provides more nutrients and oxygen. Infrared wraps can also be used to alleviate the pain caused by diseases like arthritis.
Frequently asked questions about infrared body
Let us take a look at the answers to some of the questions you might have about infrared body wraps:
Can people with implants get infrared body wraps?
Yes. People with implants can get the treatments. Saline implants can be warmed up by the heat used for the treatment, and that does not cause any significant changes. Some wraps also come with controls that allow the technician performing the treatment to deactivate certain areas to avoid heating implants.
How many calories do I burn during each session?
The number of calories a person burns during the treatment varies based on factors like how well hydrated they are, their body type, and their metabolism. Infrared body wraps tend to be more effective when patients are well hydrated. Patients are advised to drink water before, during, and after their treatment for optimal results.
What are infrared rays?
Infrared rays are a band of light that produces heat. The light is invisible to the naked eye, but we sense its heating effect. Most of the energy output of the sun is infrared light. These rays heat the body without heating up the air in between via a process called conversion. Far infrared light is a wavelength that penetrates organic tissues. This is what infrared body wraps use.
Will diet and exercise improve my results?
Absolutely. Diet and exercise help get rid of excess fat, just like infrared light. Patients committed to improving their lifestyle through diet and exercise typically get the most out of infrared body wrap treatments.
Should I drink water heading into and after the procedure?
Yes. Doctors recommend drinking room temperature water before infrared body wrap treatments. This allows your body to flush out more toxins while replacing fluids lost via sweating during the treatment.
