About 65% of the human body is made up of water. During an infrared session, the body’s core temperature is raised, which stimulates sweat production and allows the body to release toxins, fats through the sweat glands. Hydration is incredibly important because we need water not only to survive but also to produce sweat. Getting your glisten on while sweating at the gym or on a run is also important, but the key to a successful infrared session is, well, the infrared. By penetrating approximately 1.5 inches into the body, infrared can promote the release of toxins, fats, and cholesterol that is not replaced when you rehydrate. During an infrared session the body can release up to 20% fats and toxins, this is in comparison to about 3-5% released during traditional exercise.

Throughout the past decade, several companies have tried their hand at creating an infrared system. There are two types of systems, systems created for home use and wraps that are commercial grade. Some of these systems cover the entire body, some only treat specific areas, and some systems that claim to be commercial grade may not be. Engineering, materials used and safety components have a lot to do with what makes an effective infrared body system, and the quality and functionality of the system will set it apart from others.

If the body is dehydrated, it’s possible that sweat will not be produced. And yes, the process of sweating is removing water from the body but an infrared system will not dehydrate you any more than an intense workout because let’s face it, any sweat-inducing activity will require H20 to replenish the body! Consuming water before, during and after each session is necessary. It is recommended to drink more water than you might normally drink to see optimal results. If a session is executed correctly the client will have consumed more water than usual and this will allow them to sweat without feeling parched. Keep in mind; it’s important to continue hydrating after each session as the body continues to flush metabolized fats and toxins.

Body treatments should be safe, effective and enjoyable. Infrared heat itself is safe; so safe that it is used in the NICU for premature babies. We cannot speak for each infrared body system out there when it comes to safety features, but this is why it’s important to do your research! The materials, sensors, and temperatures generated by the Patent Protected Sculpt Pod System has been vigorously tested to ensure safe use.

Sweating it out it is a necessary bodily function. The production of sweat is known for detoxifying, protecting the body from overheating, strengthening the immune system by opening up the pores to purge the body of toxins that can cause pimples, eczema, and rashes. According to the Center for Disease Control, the cause of more than 80% of all illnesses can be found in a person’s environment or lifestyle. Blocked sweat glands can be a medical concern, and some doctors believe it may be caused by hormones or the immune system. Detoxifying through sweat can improve toxicity levels and may be just what the doctor ordered

Cryo Sculpting & Slimming

The treatment lasts for 28 minutes and is done manually through a massage technique. The session begins with 2 minutes of heat and then a decrease in temperature to -8 degrees for the duration of the session. The purpose of the treatment is to lower the temperature of the fat cells enough to reduce fat without harming surrounding tissue.

The treatments are very safe and non-invasive. Many clients visit us during the lunch break or immediately before or after a workout with no down-time after the treatment.

Results are seen immediately, but it is recommended to treat specific areas between 3 – 5 times for best results while maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Research has shown a 38% fat reduction in treated areas. These results were seen over the course of 10 weeks after treating 100 individuals between 3-6 times each.
