What is Formostar?

The Formostar Far Infrared Body Wrap System is a deep heat treatment that utilises the body's natural cooling process to stimulate the metabolism.  When heat is absorbed by the body on a continuous basis, the blood circulation is used to transport the excess heat as close as possible to the skin's surface, inducing sweat, to help dissipate it into the cooler atmosphere.  Formostar utilises Far Infrared energy to produce this heat as it can be very efficiently abosrbed  by the body when generated around the 9.5 micron waveband.


To stimulate and maintain this natural metabolic cooling process over a 50 minute session requires the body to use energy.  The effect is similar to undertaking a vigorous workout but without any lung or muscle load.  As such the Formostar can help with:

The 'Exclusiv' Control Unit together with six heavy-duty non-allergenic silicone wraps that contain heat filaments.  One wrap each for the chest/abdomen area, stomach/hip area, two for the thighs and the two variable wraps that can be used to target specific areas such as aching shoulders, under-arm fat deposits, fluidy calves or perhaps areas with pain.  The heat to each wrap can be controlled to suit a particular physiology or a person's tolerance to heat.  Each wrap has a colour coded Velcro fastener which matches the colour coded output jack on the Control Unit.

Each session takes 50 minutes with a 10-minute warm up period.  The 50 minutes is necessary in order to obtain the best results.  Studies have shown that it takes a moderately conditioned body 20 to 30 minutes to heat up (this includes exercise and other heat based treatments) and that the major therapeutic value to the body occurs after that warming up process. 

A Formostar session is undertaken lying down on a massage bed and cotton clothing is worn.  Many people feel deep relaxation, read a book, watch TV or even have a quick sleep.
