SHAPEMASTER USA

The Formostar Infrared Body Wrap is an effective method of body shaping, rapid targeted inch loss and pain management that gets dramatic results after just one session. The wrap requires 10 to 15 minutes of staff time for every hour of operation. No disrobing for your clients or messy solutions or gauze bandages. Each wrap is positioned around the parts of the body your client wants to target for body shaping or pain management. The body wrap uses infrared radiant energy to penetrate the body's tissues to a depth of more than 1.5 inches. This heat accelerates the enzymes in the body causing the metabolism to increase and burn 900 to 1,200 calories per 50-minute treatment.
