Thermojet FAQ

 
How soon will I see results from Infrared body wraps?

  • You should feel the difference after the first or second wrap.  After 3-9 sessions, everyone else will start to notice too.  Please note that each person experiences varying degrees of weight/inch loss with Infrared Body Wraps due to body type and fat/muscle ratios.  To achieve optimal results, we recommend 2-3 wrap sessions per week in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise program.

Do Infrared body wraps provide the same results for everyone?

  • No.  People experience varying degrees of weight and/or inch loss with Infrared Body Wraps.  Body type, fat/muscle ratio, eating habits, and physical activity levels can all play a part in the results you will see when adding Infrared Body Wraps to your regimen.
  • The results achieved greatly depend 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 shaping, losing centimeters or dress sizes.  Extremely physically fit people who 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 from Infrared Body Wraps. Common sense dictates that if a client is on an Infrared Body Wrap program and then eats or drinks excessively most of the results will be negated.  Ideally, Infrared Wraps will be of most value with a balanced exercise and eating program. Clients who lead a very sedentary lifestyle can still achieve great results over a longer period assuming that they exercise adequate control over dietary and other general health factors.  Experience worldwide indicates that 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 will be dependent on each persons particular make up and physiology.

What other benefits do Infrared body wraps provide?

  • Infrared Body Wraps provide pain management benefits and enhanced healing to keep customers coming back for more. Women report excellent results for post pregnancy body shape recovery, fat loss and skin rejuvenation.  Infrared Body Wraps are also highly effective as a source for improving circulation, cardiovascular systems, and immune systems.

Is Infrared heat safe?

  • Yes, infrared heat is within the same frequency levels as our own body heat and this is in tune with our own energy system. It is therefore safe and compatible for us to use, allowing deep heat penetration that is not possible with other methods of heating. Is the infrared thermal system safe for me?  What exactly is radiant heat?  No need to worry. It has nothing to do with either ultraviolet radiation or atomic radiation. Radiant heat is simply a form of energy that heats objects through a process called conversions, without having to heat the air in between.

Do I need an appointment for a body wrap?

  • Yes, although walk-ins will be accommodated if possible, an appointment is recommended for your Infrared Body Wrap.  We typically require at least one day advance notice to ensure appropriate staffing is available.

Can I  tan and wrap the same day?

  • No.  Both tanning and the Thermojet Body Wrap provide infrared heat.  Due to this, wrap appointments and tanning sessions should be scheduled on different days to avoid skin sensitivity, dehydration and heat exhaustion.

What if I need to cancel my appointment?  Are there penalties?

  • To cancel your body wrap, please call SummRTan at least 2 hours prior to your scheduled appointment.
  • If 2 hour notice of cancellation is not received, you may be charged a “No Show” fee or session.

What should I wear for my body wrap?

  • Wear comfortable clothing with full sleeves and pants (sweatshirts, sweatpants, etc.).  You may also want to bring an extra set of clothing to change into afterward, as you will perspire quite a bit during the body wrap session.

What should I do to prepare for my body wrap?

  • Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water throughout the day of your wrap
  • Eat a light meal prior 2-3 hours prior to your wrap appointment
  • Do not consume alcohol 24 hours prior to appointment

How can I get optimal results from my body wrap?

  • Infrared Body Wraps should be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise program.   For optimal results, we suggest 20-30 minutes of moderate exercise immediately following each body wrap session.

How often can I have a body wrap?  How often should I have a body wrap?

  • Please allow a  minimum of 48 hours between body wrap sessions.   2 to 3 sessions per week is recommended.
  • 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 sessions can be as often as every 2 days. For best results it is preferable right before a workout as this will help burn the most dramatic amount of calories and also has maximum impact on 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 a maintenance only schedule, which for most people, should be around 2 to 4 times a month.
