Helios Tan and Day Spa is proud to announce that Julie Purdy will be taking appointments at it’s Latham Farms site! Julie is a wonderful person, fueled by her passion for life and strong drive to help people, Julie can instill the belief in her audience that anything is possible! And it is!

Julie:

You’re running late for work… again. The alarm didn’t go off, or did you sleep through it? You rushed to get ready and realized as you were almost out the door that there was a stain on your shirt… Your car barely started and you’re not sure if it’s because there’s almost no gas in it, or it needs to go in the shop… again. Your coffee order was wrong and is now spilled down the front of you thanks to the guy who stopped short in the middle of the road… for NO reason! Oh and it’s only Monday at 9am… This sound like a day in your life? Are you fighting the world constantly and feeling like you’re always two steps behind? You work hard, you try to take care of yourself and something’s always fighting you. Are you losing hope? Feeling dragged down? Don’t know how to accomplish the ideas and goals you have, or even start them in motion?

Have you ever met anyone who comes into your life and you just know it’s never going to be the same again? Someone who takes all the oxygen in the room and draws the attention of every living being, yet is so sweet and compassionate that you just can’t help wanting to be around them. Her name is Julie Purdy. She has many titles Motivational Speaker, Life coach, intuitive councilor, astrologist, psychic … but none can describe the magic that is with in her. She was born during an eclipse and the only words that can come close to describing her are empowering. She’s here, on this earth to empower you, to make your life better, to give you the energy and direction to improve and even change your life! Julie has many goals for you, to make the energy work for you, to bring inner peace to you, to just be here to help you.

After 4 months of Katie Manning-Hilton working with Helios, she referred Julie to me. Julie stepped into Helios on January 22nd, 2008 at 9:30am. We had a meeting to talk about Helios and her coming here to set up appointments with customers like Katie, but on different level.  The energy she brought to Helios was amazing. The meeting lasted 4 hours and Helios was so busy additional staff had to be called in to help customers!  Open your heart, open your mind and experience Julie. Let Julie help you engage the magic within you!


Call Helios: 518-782-1826 for an appointment!

Helios presents Airbrush Spray Tanning!

From the same company that brought you the Formostar Body Fat Mel ting System… Helios presents Airbrush Spray Tanning! Air brush is applied by a trained tech that is skilled at providing the most even coverage you can possibly attain. This means your tan will look better. Use of the air brush allows on the spot exfoliation by applying a glycolic-based spray. This ensures that the solution will attain the deepest penetration possible. This process means your tan will last longer. The air brush tech is well versed in analyzing skin types and tones and can provide a solution mixture and application that is most appropriate and looks the best for you. A spray booth uses the premises “one spray fits all” which simply just is not the case, and often results in terrible coloring effect to the detriment of the user. The human tech can reach hard-to-apply areas such as behind the knees, around elbows, fingers and other places that the spray booth AKA “Human Car Wash” just cannot effectively provide even coverage in these areas. Using the air brush technique allows the solution to dry on the skin exactly how it is applied, which means your tan will look excellent. The spray booth requires you to “Towel Off” or “Buff Dry” after being sprayed. This method totally defeats the purpose and often results in very little coloration of the skin, or horrible streaking that makes the person who used the booth look and feel like a freak. DON’T TAKE A CHANCE. Air brushing is less expensive to the client and much more effective. The user may spray certain body parts rather than the entire body. Air brush Tanning is used by Major Hollywood Stars, Cheerleaders for Pro-Football, Major beauty pageant contestants, models, dancers, photographers, bodybuilding contestants and many more. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF LOOKING GOOD. Shouldn’t you use the preferred method of tanning used by them? AIR BRUSH TANNING!! Airbrush Tans at Helios are just $29.95 your first time and $19.95 every time after! Call today to book your appointment!!

Have You Tried Formostar Yet?

Formostar InfraRed Body Fat Melting System

 

What is Infrared Body Wrap?

Infrared Body Fat Melting System is targeted infrared heat therapy.

It is highly effective as a source of healing that improves the circular, cardiovascular and immune systems. It is more effective than other traditional heat treatments since the infrared heat penetrates twice as deep getting at toxins and cellulite trapped in pockets beneath the skin.

 

The Formostar InfraRed Body Fat Melting System uses 6 silicone wrap pads to target specific areas of the body. These pads generate infrared energy that penetrates deep into the body where it is converted into heat. The heating of the deep-muscle tissues and organs is identical to the infrared energy produced by our own bodies during exercise and produces the same metabolic response. Fat and toxins are released into the blood stream, sweat and urine for elimination. This effect provides inch loss that is not just water loss, to the contrary, it is a fat loss and toxin elimination.

 

The Formostar Enhancement Gel:

This caffeine and aloe based gel cools the skin, increases blood circulations, tightens and adds elasticity to skin. Accelerated by the Infrared heat energy of the Formostar Sessions, this enhancement gel quickly penetrates and conditions the skin for maximum break down of fat cells during a session. To be used before each session and again after the shower, to moisturize and firm the skin.

 

Caloric Burning Equivalents per

50-minute Session

 

Activity approx. calories burned

Formostar InfraRed Body Wrap 1200-2500

Marathon Running 1186

Racquetball 1020

Swimming 600

Jogging 600

Tennis 530

Cycling ( 10 mph ) 450

Walking ( 3.5 mph ) 300

 

 

 

Formostar InfraRed Body Fat Melting System for Detox, Acne and Skin Rejuvenation

 

Heat therapy is used effectively on acute and chronic inflammatory illnesses. Degenerative diseases react well to heat because of the relaxation of the muscles and the analgesic effect of the heat.

 

By using infrared heat to heat up the skin and the fatty tissue beneath the skin, blood circulation is increased up to 3.5 times resulting in increased elimination of fats and toxins trapped beneath the surface of the skin.

 

Infrared energy penetrates uniformly into the body emitting a full bio-spectrum that gets into the deep layers of the skin. This process stimulates molecular activity to promote the metabolism of skin cells. A good metabolic rate enables the skin tissues to produce new cells and replace old skin and dead skin cells.

 

Infrared energy effectively breaks down water molecules that accumulate and store unwanted toxins and debris in our body that block circulation and major cellular functions. Exposure to infrared waves steadily circulate the blood, removing blockages in the blood vessels and allowing for proper oxygen distribution to all parts of the body. This action has had success in treating skin disorders such as acne, eczema and psoriasis.

 

The use of Formostar’s full body infrared heat increases the blood circulation to the entire system which is essential for beautiful, youthful, and glowing skin. A new GLOW is achieved as the skin is freed of accumulated dirt, toxins and dry skin cell due to a deep cleansing of unwanted impurities.

 

 

No Embarrassment

No embarrassing moments with the Formostar InfraRed Body Fat Melting System. The session is accomplished by wrapping the infrared silicone pads over a set of comfortable Sweats.

Full Body InfraRed Heat and Pain Relief

Infrared rays penetrate 1.5 inches deep into muscular tissues and reach the ligaments and joints where pain resides. Formostar’s infrared waves steadily circulate the blood, removing blockages in the blood vessels and delivering to all parts of the body. Improved blood circulation produced by a full body infrared treatment can alleviate pain and revitalize the tissues.

 

 

Full body infrared treatments provide pain management benefits and enhanced healing. This is the reason that Infrared Heat is used for sports injuries, back pain, arthritis and much more.

 

 

 

 

Formostar InfraRed Body Fat Melting System

A highly effective inch loss, weight control, detoxification and pain management system that is fast, easy and enjoyable.

 

The targeted full body infrared heat penetrates twice as deep as other conventional heat methods to get fats, toxins and cellulite trapped in pockets beneath the surface of the skin. The secret of the Formostar system is the way in which the infrared heat therapy activates the functions of natural enzymes and metabolism within the tissues. You can burn 1200 to 2500 calories or more in each 50 minute session.

 

Additional benefits of the Full Body InfraRed Body Fat Melting System:

Sciatica Relief

Arthritis

Whiplash

Shoulder Stiffness

Blood Circulations

Muscle Spasms

Passive Cardiovascular

Boosts Immune Response

Tighten and rejuvenate skin

Detoxify the body

The Formostar- Yes, I too, was skeptical at first. I tried it for the sake of saying I did it. I weighed myself prior to starting the process to see if it really did produce results.

I did it for the first time and it kicked my butt! I woke up the next day feeling as though I just spent three hours having a deep massage. Little did I know there was more in the workings…

I did it again because I had purchased the “buy one, get one.” Again, the next morning was rejuvenating. I started to do the Formostar twice a week after that. Then I stepped on the scale-what a difference! After four Formostar sessions i had dropped six pounds! Then two more pounds and then nine more pounds were gone!

 

So far, total weight loss has been 14 pounds and two pant sizes! I never changed my diet, nor did I exercise more and still produced results like this. I one hundred percent recommend that everyone at least try it once, I promise you’ll be hooked!

Since I started the Formostar…

         

My Skin is softer and firmer, my clothes are loosening up & fitting better, I’m feeling TOTALLY relaxed and rejuvenated afterwards. I guess a little Formostar head and swear make all the difference! I LOVE THE FORMOSTAR!!

Since I was injured I have been unable to do any intensive physical activity. For me the Formostar allows me the opportunity to gain benefits of a work out (weight loss & firming) without injuring myself further.

 

After my Formostar session I feel refreshed! The Formostar not only provides me the physical benefits of an intensive workout but the emotional benefits as well. I’ll keep coming back again and again!

It’s a good start to see your body the way you want I to be. Like it was when you were younger. For me I started seeing results right away and I really enjoying doing it.

 

To see how many inches I have lost week to week has been amazing! I am not going to stop doing this until I get my body back to where I want it! Thanks Formostar!

FORMOSTAR IS AWESOME!!!

 

My sister told me about Formostar and I am SOOO glad she did! In just 2 visits my legs are SOO smooth and the wonderful “dimples” are gone! I am no longer embarrassed to walk around in my bathing suit at the pool! Thanks SO much!

Through diet and exercise I have lost 20lbs in the last year. The Formostar has tightened and toned my skin after the weight loss.

 

After the very first visit my jeans fit looser. After 2 visits to the Formostar my friend told me that I looked like I had lost a lot of weight, since I had last seen her. The last time I saw her was two weeks prior. That was a great complement! Thanks you Formostar and Helios!

After hearing so much about Helios Tan I looked into what exactly Formostar is. I wasn’t so much interested in losing weight, but all of the other benefits associated with it.

 

Over the past years I’ve done some damage to my body (sports related.. ect..) and Formostar helps my body       feel GREAT! It’s fantastic after starting an exercise program and has added benefits of enhancing any routine you may have.

         

My Muscles and joints feel excellent after the treatment… not to mention the metabolism boost! I LOVE IT!!

          I am a middle aged woman who has had 2 children and a hysterectomy. I have tired EVERY diet & workout exercises. I picked up a Formostar card at work; being a single mother of two VERY sick children I don’t have a lot of money. This card is the only object that went from one pocketbook to another (for 2 months!) Then I finally bought 3 visits and got 3 free. In 6 visits I went from a size 12 to a size 6!!!!!!!

 

          Formostar is a LIFE ALTERING EXPERIANCE!!

 

          STOP thinking about it and DO something for yourself that REALLY works!! And you deserve it!! We all deserve to feel good about ourselves and now I feel good about MYSELF!

          If I was to use a word to describe the Formostar it would be cleansing or purifying! I felt a difference in my “thick” areas the very next day after my first treatment!  Now I fell more comfortable to exercise and to watch what I eat more, and the results have been amazing!

 

Feel Great!

Look Great!

More Energy!

Sleep Better!

Thank you Formostar!!

Thank you Jillian!!

Formostar is amazing!! My first experience with Formostar was wonderful!! It was relaxing, and completely rejuvenating! My skin felt smoother even after one visit!!  

I have had inches lost in only a few visits! I can’t wait to see what happens next!! I can’t believe I am excited to look in the mirror again!!

I would recommend Formostar for EVERYONE to try at least once! It’s worth it!!

 A Full Formostar treatment is 8-12 wraps. Upkeep is then once a week or twice a month, depending on diet and exercise. Formostar is NOT the answer to diet and exercise but can be used as an additional tool to help you reach the results you’ve always wanted!   

 

  • To make an appointment for a Formostar InfraRed Heat Therapy session please call Helios Salon at (518) 782-1826.
  • A session is $65.00 (plus Gel) and lasts 60 minutes.
  • Please Bring 2 pairs of Sweat Pants, sweat shirt and a change of clothes.
  • We require you 48 oz of room temperature water DURING your session. You may bring that with you or purchase here.
  • Please remember hydration is the key! You need to be drinking 180oz of water a day to really achieve the results you’re looking for! You’ll do this the day before, the day of your session and the day after!
  • Formostar is not just for weight loss. Its also amazing for back pain relief, syactic nerve relief, menstrual cramp relief and insomnia.
  • You must purchase sessions prior to making appointments, you can do this over the phone or in person!
  • Most people see a change in their body after 4 sessions but some as soon as 1!
  • A massage after Formostar helps to push out the toxins and give better relief. It’s also amazing if you have a bad back because the heat works into the muscles for better tissue repair!

So, stop in and see us. We would be happy to help you get aquainted with Formostar! Helios Tan and Day Spa   http://www.heliostanning.com/
