Does An Infrared Wrap Work And What's The Best One?

Have you been wondering what an infrared wrap is all about? If you want to learn all about them then lets begin...

This article is a useful source of information on infrared body wraps, what they do and how beneficial they can be. And although infrared wraps are available or can be used in all kinds of salon or spa locations, tanning salons are jumping on board because of their congruency with the tanning market. So if you are a tanning salon owner keep reading...

It's always a good idea to start with the basics and work our way upward - let us first understand what an infrared wrap is all about. A simple definition would be: a machine with 6 silicone pads that discharge infrared heat. The 6 pads target 6 areas of the body, for example a woman can focus on all those cellulite areas on the body! This would describe the current leader in infrared body wraps Formostar Body Wrap System. But (see below the video)...

There are new infrared wrap systems coming out all the time that don't have pads, like the Fit Body Wrap system. The Fit Body Wrap touts better results and less labor for the average salon owner, and easy clean up. Read this comparison of the top two infrared body wrap systems. After reading over their product and speaking to a salon owner who uses it, I think they are going to eat up the market!

What does the infrared wrap actually do? It targets cellulite and burns it, it reduces water weight loss, increases metabolism, and burns calories. It is claimed that while the water lost may be gained again by the body, the calories lost will not be regained, unless of course you eat ice cream right after your session.

The far infrared heat that these wraps emit helps to relieve pain and increase circulation in areas that have been targeted. Many clients are using it for pain relief, body detoxification, skin care, and a way to get a little workout in without actually working out (doing an hour long session is like running a 5 mile marathon).

Far infrared heat penetrates deeper into your skin than regular body wraps do. As a result many clients see a decrease in cellulite. And the main benefits are calories burned -- up to 1400 per session.

Let us move now to how tanning salons can make use of this concept. The face of customer demand is ever changing. In order to prepare for these changes and manage the anticipated peaks and troughs in business, it is always a good idea to be prepared. In today's world the focus is on looking younger and feeling better. What better to cater to your customers needs by providing them with a method that can help them lose weight, increase metabolism and circulation and best of all FEEL GREAT!

Body wraps are not a new concept, the ancient Egyptians used their own form of body wraps thousands of years ago; a proven technique that makes a fantastic addition to tanning salons, spas and massage clinics.

Infrared Wraps: What sort of return on investment (ROI) are you looking at? There is a significant revenue potential in adding infrared body wraps to a tanning or spa's. Prices vary according to the various states and size of the salon offering the service. A business savvy tanning salon owner can make money if the infrared body wraps are used to their full potential. Salons make from a low of $1000 per month to as much as $75,000 per year. It all depends on your market, how well you market it and sell it, and the customer experience at your salon or spa.

Which infrared wrap should you do? Do either a Fit or Formostar Infrared Body Wrap. They are both very good.
