The Formostar Far Infrared Body Wrap system has been manufactured in Germany
since 1983. It was originally developed to aid the relief of pain experienced
by people with arthritis and joint mobility problems.
After continued usage in the
market, it was discovered that people could also experience body reshaping and
potentially lose weight. A clinical study was undertaken ("Clinical study for the
effectiveness of the FORMOSTAR - in depth thermal treatment for weight
and size loss and degenerative joint and spinal column illnesses,
Dr. med. A. MEDINA
and Dr. med. K. RADTKE, 1985, Internal Medicine Department of the
District Hospital Rinteln at the Weser - study commissioned by Formostar Germany and available on request).
The study found "significant weight reduction and substantial improvements in joint mobility".
Please contact Formostar for a copy of the study.
Since the introduction of the Formostar, there have been over 25,000 systems sold and 5,000,000 sessions
conducted worldwide.
The Formostar has been one of the best selling body wrap systems in the US since 2001 and was
introduced into Australia
and New Zealand
in August 2005. See Formostar
