An infrared body wrap is a system that uses far infrared energy in the form of heat to stimulate metabolism for potential improved weight loss benefits and body contouring benefits. Equipment containing infrared heat or infrared therapy have been long used in the European communities for it’s many benefits including potential inch and weight loss and the improvement of the appearance of cellulite.

The heat produced by this system is similar to that of a cardio or physical workout all while laying down for a period of forty to fifty minutes. This heat stimulates the metabolism and increases blood circulation just like it would with a workout session. It will also increase your heart rate and increase circulation. This increased circulation will also increase your Basic Metabolic Rate and by doing so consumes or burns calories.

The amount of calories burned during one session will vary from person to person depending on their size, but calories will be burned as if you had exercised. Your metabolism will also be stimulated for at least 24 to 36 hours after using this treatment. This means that your body will be burning calories at a higher rate for the next several days after using one session. Best results will be by using an infrared body wrap system at least twice per week.

These systems can be found at most local day spas, medical spas, weight loss clinics, and high end salons. Ask any of these places if they have “Infrared body wrap” treatments available for their clients.

Infrared Body Wrap – Does it Burn Calories?

Infrared Body Wraps have individual silicone pads for the thighs, hips, stomach and arms. Each of these pads emit infrared therapy similar to the infrared energy found in FIR Saunas. The heat produced causes the heart rate to increase (similar to exercising) and over the course of the treatment, you will also begin sweating. By mimicking as if you are actually exercising, your body will burn calories and your metabolism is also increased.

Infrared body wrap treatment times are usually anywhere from forty to fifty minutes. The amount of calories you burn during this time may differ from person to person depending on their size. A petite person may not have that many calories to burn and therefore will not burn as many as a heavier set person.

Benefit of using the infrared body wraps are that it improves the appearance of cellulite, aids in minor pain relief, contours and shapes the body, and possible inch and weight loss.

One thing to keep in mind after a treatment is to rehydrate your body by drinking water. Also, since you realize that you have burned some calories, you may be inclined to go eat a hamburger and milk shake. If you were to do that, you would basically just replace those calories you just burned.

Your metabolism is also increased after a session and will be increased for a day or two. During this time, your body may be burning more calories than normal. Using these wraps in conjunction with a healthy diet is recommended for best results.
