MED SPA & WELLNESS CENTER FAQs
BY ALINE HEALTH

In the infrared sauna, infrared light penetrates several inches into the body and creates heat, resulting in a whole-body hyperthermia on a cellular level to make you sweat.

Sweating is the best way to rid the body of toxins (toxic drugs, pollutants, pesticides and heavy metals), which in turn improves the immune system and overall health. Sweating is also a great way to increase metabolic rate and reduce stress -- it’s like a workout without the work -- burning 600+ calories per session. The infrared sauna helps you detoxify, improves circulation, lymphatic drainage and cardiovascular health, reduces pain, increases your metabolic rate to jumpstart weight loss, rejuvenates your skin, and reduces stress and cortisol levels. Repeated exposure to heat from infrared light results in cumulative health benefits.

Nope! Invisible light heats the body, not the surrounding air, so it is more comfortable and allows you to enjoy a longer session than with traditional steam saunas.

Yes! The infrared sauna is great for reducing wrinkles and crow’s feet, and it helps improve overall skin tone, including softness, smoothness, elasticity, clarity and firmness.

Yes! Unlike sunbathing, exposure to infrared heat therapy is safe and won’t cause the skin to burn.

EMFs are like invisible energy emissions that come from any object that uses electricity. Most common electrical objects give off such low levels of EMF that they pose no risk to humans. Though infrared saunas are large and powered by electricity, the technology used in our infrared sauna keeps EMF in an extremely low range of 0.2 to 0.3 mG. For context, the Environmental Protection Agency has previously proposed a safety standard of 3 mG, with anything below 3 mG being deemed as safe. Read more here.

Yes, a few studies that show the effectiveness of the infrared sauna include: Far-infrared saunas for treatment of cardiovascular risk factors The effects of repeated thermal therapy on quality of life in patients with type II diabetes mellitus.

We recommend working your way up to 30- to 40-minutes. You will have the room for 50 minutes total, giving you enough time to freshen up and change upon completion. Your sweating and detoxification continues after you get out of the sauna for about 30- to 60-minutes afterwards, so it is not recommended that you shower right afterwards as it will shorten the benefits of the detoxification process. Please try our signature essential oil body mist and cool washcloths to wipe off toxins and leave you feeling refreshed and clean.

You can wear a bathing suit or a towel. You will be in a private room alone or with a known partner.

Obviously with all the sweating, you want to make sure to rehydrate! Please come to each session well-hydrated, not hungover or after drinking alcohol. Drinking water is available in the sauna room. Please only use glass or stainless steel bottles in the sauna; plastic bottles are not permitted in the sauna. Two towels are provided for your use.

Yes! Our saunas are sanitized after each use. Infrared light kills all bacteria and any airborne germs.

Our sauna is spacious and comfortable for a private or couples session.

In general, children above the age of 12 can use the infrared sauna for a brief session. Children who are prepubescent are not able to thermoregulate (regulate their body temperature through proper sweat production) as well as adults do, so please consult with your primary care provider before using the infrared sauna.

Infrared Sauna use is not recommended for people who are pregnant, children under 12, those who cannot handle temperature extremes, those with hemophila, fever, insensitivity to heat, and those under the influence of alcohol or who abuse alcohol.

The first session involves four “modules” and lasts approximately an hour. Subsequent sessions involve two modules and last approximately half an hour.

Some patients feel better during the first session. Others may not notice anything for 8 or 10 sessions. Every patient is different. Whereas drugs typically have a defined onset and duration of action, PEMF is completely specific to each individual. Consequently, no generalizations can be made about how soon a given patient will feel better.

Don’t expect anything. Just let your body respond how it will. Some will feel better immediately. Some won’t feel any different and will wonder if anything happened. Others will feel worse for the first day, which is a detoxification reaction. Whatever happens is what your body asked for, and what your body needs.

No. This is the difference between traditional Western medicine and Eastern medicine. Western medicine prescribes a “headache drug” that suppresses headaches without regard to what might be causing YOUR headache. Eastern medicine (acupuncture, for example) identifies and addresses energy disturbances in organs that cause the symptoms we experience. Ondamed doesn’t “know” that a patient has headaches. Instead, we allow the body to tell us, through Ondamed, which energy fields it wants to help it correct energetic imbalances. Once this is accomplished, the symptom of interest may or may not resolve, depending on whether it is related to the imbalance. At the same time, there are certain programs that have been found to be effective for some problems, such as wound healing and smoking. This is very useful in some circumstances. However, we prefer to use the biofeedback approach whenever possible because the body knows best what it needs.

Every patient and every problem is different. In general, longstanding problems will take longer to improve. Whereas someone with a cold may improve after a single session, someone with PTSD should plan on at least ten.

As often as you need. Fractures can benefit from two sessions per day, if this is feasible. Most conditions respond well to twice-weekly sessions. For our patients who travel several hours to see us, they can still benefit from a session once or twice a month. The smoking cessation protocol takes only two sessions.

Salt Therapy is a holistic approach that mimics the microclimate of a salt cave. Dry salt air is dispersed into an enclosed environment (room, bed, booth, cabin) through a unique process generated by a halogenerator. When you heat salt, it becomes super dry, and kinetically more active. This heated and dry pure sodium chloride is then crushed into micro-sized particles and dispersed into the air in an enclosed environment. For more information on research, please visit the Global Wellness Institute and the World Halotherapy Association.

Yes. For more information on research, please visit the Global Wellness Institute and the World Halotherapy Association.

Pure “dry” sodium chloride is heated and ground up in a machine called a halogenerator. The micro-sized crushed salt particles are then dispersed into the air in an enclosed environment (Salt Room, HALO BED, HALO BOOTH, HALO Cabin).

Dry Salt Therapy has been a part of natural wellness since the 19th century. For more information on research, please visit the Global Wellness Institute and the World Halotherapy Association.

Salt Therapy is a natural treatment however any clients who have any serious health conditions or women who are pregnant should always seek proper medical advice before any type of treatment.

There are typically no side effects other than the taste of salt and potentially thirst or a scratchy throat. However, if someone is on any medications or suffers from any serious medical issue please seek medical advice before any therapy.

99.99% pure sodium chloride (Pharmaceutical grade salt). It contains no fillers or caking agents. It does come from a natural source but it is naturally processed to remove all of its impure elements. It’s the same salt that hospitals use and is the same type of salt all the research has been conducted on. We do not recommend Himalayan or sea salt as it is not stripped of all the impurities. There could be dirt, clay or some type of debris that could be harmful to the lungs. It’s very healthy for the digestive system but not for the respiratory system.

As with all wellness services, always check with your doctor before starting any type of treatments if you are taking any medications.

Salt Therapy offers the best results when practiced regularly. The benefits are cumulative so consistency and frequency are the key. People with chronic issues will benefit greatly if visiting salt rooms at least 3-4 times a week. Those who are looking to incorporate Salt Therapy into their regular wellness routine would benefit from a weekly session. Salt Therapy has been used on a daily basis without any side effects. But as in all health services, please use your own discretion.

45 minutes for a salt room session and 15 to 20 minutes for the HALO BED and HALO BOOTH.

Salt therapy naturally opens and relaxes your airways and improves the uptake of oxygen thus making the body perfectly poised to benefit from meditation. Additionally, we found that many of our customers were not comfortable meditating on their own so we began providing guided meditation to our partners in two ways: 1) download guided meditations recorded by our partners to provide to your customers via the speakers inside your halotherapy equipment or via speakers in your salt room, or 2) by providing your customers with the exclusive offer from the Waking Up app to get free access for 30 days and then get discounted access thereafter. Meditation is a very personal journey so choose one of our offerings or simply do it on your own. Right now the world could use a little more meditation. The guided meditation downloads and the instructions for the Waking Up offer are available on our partner portal once you become a customer.

It is recommended that all patients use two treatment heads at the same time. Both treatment heads must be in full contact with the skin, and not hover sideways or extend beyond the treatment area. This will ensure that all abdomen muscles are treated and activated. Using only one treatment head at a time is only recommended for patients with small care sites. Both therapies are equally effective.

Many studies have confirmed that the metabolic activity of buttock fat is lower than that of abdominal fat. Because of this, it will not dissolve fat when treating buttocks.

EMP Muscle Sculpting technology has existed for decades, and its safety has been proven by dozens of studies. The only tissue that responds to energy is motor neurons, so it has no effect on other tissues including organs.

The process is painless and non-invasive. There is no need for anesthesia. The feeling during the treatment is the same as that of your muscle during intense exercise.

4 times for a course of treatment, interval 2-3 days to do once, generally open a card set 6-8 courses of treatment, which can get good results.

There is no need for manual operation, and the automatic mode of the calcination is set, and it only takes 30 minutes each time.

The movement of human muscle is driven by magnetic vibration energy, not by electromagnetic radiation. Radiation on the human body feels hot, but our EMP Muscle Sculpting instrument is not hot at all when it works with the human body. It emits less radiation than our regular cell phones. We also specially made a test report for it, which proved that its radiation range is within the national safety electrical appliances. If so, this technology will not be certified by the US FDA and used in foreign hospitals.

EMP Muscle Sculpting technology can penetrate 8 cm below muscular layer. However, if the patient’s fat is thick, the energy may not be able to penetrate the muscle tissue thoroughly, so it is difficult to make the muscle contract and achieve the therapeutic effect.

It can be combined with some non-traumatic fat-removing care, such as various fat-reducing equipment, to eliminate more fat. In addition, it can be combined with some postpartum repair care to improve the health and physical problems of postpartum women.

The pelvic floor muscles are directly related to the urethra, rectum, exercise of women, and insufficient control of the prostate in men. If the pelvic floor muscles are relaxed and energy is insufficient, the normal function of related organs may be impaired, and incontinence is common. For women, it may cause vaginal prolapse; uterine prolapse, and other problems; For men it may cause problems such as prostate problems and erectile dysfunction.

In addition to supporting the pelvic floor organs and controlling urination, it also plays a key roll in arousing orgasm at an appropriate time. The relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles cannot meet the needs of vaginal friction, thus inhibiting the possibility of orgasm. Effective treatment involves “re-education” of the pelvic floor muscles to alleviate such conditions.

It used HIFEM energy stimulates the pelvic floor muscles in the pelvic cavity, which can stimulate neurons to control the pelvic floor muscles to make the pelvic floor muscles hyper-contract to achieve the treatment of urine leakage.

Postpartum rehabilitation Potential injury of pelvic floor muscles (childbirth, exercise, illness) Urinary dysfunctions: urinary incontinence (stressful urinary incontinence, urgent urinary incontinence, mixed urinary incontinence, frequency of urination, urgency of urination), overactive bladder Defecation dysfunction: Constipation, fecal incontinence Sexual dysfunction: male erectile dysfunction, female lack of sexual pleasure Chronic pelvic pain: interstitial cystitis, vaginismus, male prostatalgia

Men have the same pelvic floor muscles as women. Whether the pelvic floor muscles are strong or not will not affect men’s urinary health, such as the frequency of urination, urine drops, etc., and even the overall sexual function, affection the blood circulation system to enhance the erectile function. Therefore, men are also suitable for private repair chair.

Stressful urinary incontinence (SUI)- is related to exercise and increased intra-abdominal pressure (coughing, sneezing, laughing) Urgent urinary incontinence- it refers to the unconscious incontinence when a person has a strong, sudden desire to urinate Mixed urinary incontinence- it involves stressful urinary incontinence and urgent urinary incontinence

A single treatment for 30 minutes. It’s generally recommended that intensive treatment is required 2-3 times a week regularly, one course of treatment/6-8 times. But the severity of the problem may be different for each person, so the number of times may be slightly different for each person.

Most people have obvious feeling after 1-2 times of treatment (the difference after pelvic floor muscle strengthening) and it will continue to improve in the next few weeks. Its suggested the course of treatment should be completed continuously to make the pelvic floor muscle strengthening effect more stable, and the interval is too long or interruption will affect the treatment effect. The clinical incontinence, the quality of life improved by up to 95%, up to 93% of female sexual dysfunction has been well improved.

Clinical studies have shown that after about 6-months of follow up treatment, 75% of patients still maintain a good pelvic floor muscle effect. As the pelvic floor muscle is the same as other muscles, the muscles will gradually become soft and weak without exercise, especially the pelvic floor muscle does not go to special training in daily life. Therefore, it’s recommended to complete the treatment and it can be used for the prevention and regular maintenance, so that the pelvic floor muscles can maintain health and toughness.

The whole process is comfortable and painless. There is no need to take of clothes during treatment. The treatment time is 30 minutes and the treatment experience is as follows Feeling bounce and slight shock in the perineum area Feeling the contraction of pelvic floor muscles and numbness. According to the physical and mental condition of each person and the strength of the pelvic floor muscle, there will be different treatment feelings, which are normal phenomena.

It adopts HIFEM technology to trigger the muscle contraction of the pelvic floor muscles, which does not have radiation, but electromagnetic radiation is everywhere, such as mobile phones, microwave ovens, induction cookers, televisions, microphones, etc. Those will produce electromagnetic radiation. Like mobile phone TV, it also produces electromagnetic radiation, so it will not cause radiation damage.

The depth of it’s the magnetic vibration wave is 10cm, which will stimulate the pelvic floor muscles within the range, but will not affect the internal organs, because the HIFEM technology will only affect the skeletal muscle, and the smooth muscles such as internal organs will not be stimulated.

After each treatment, you can go to work normally, without affecting your daily routine. A small number of people will have soreness and stuffiness in the pelvic floor muscles, which will disappear in about 1-2 days.

Regardless of normal delivery or cesarean section, the treatment can only be carried out until the body is fully recovered. Generally, wait at least 3-6 months later or consult your doctor.

Regard to IUD, two issues need to be considered: The heating of the IUD. If the metal IUD forms a closed circuit in the body, it will produce inductive current when the magnetic flux changes, so it will generate heat, but there is no research on how high the temperature will be The displacement of IUD, because of the contraction of pelvic floor muscle, may cause the displacement of IUD and affect the contraception. Therefore, for the sake of safety, it is recommended that patients take off the IUD before treatment.
