I have a woman who wantsher 12 year old daughter to use the Formostar. Advice, concerns, thoughts?

my release requires parental consent, but that is young, maybe get a doctors approval first?

I've called a couple of salon owners who have the Formostar and they all said it should be okay. I have a call into a Formostar Rep, awaiting their return call.

Why the heck would they want a 12 year old to do it in the first place? When I was that age, if I got overheated I would pass out. Saunas don't allow kids under 18, hot tubs, anything like that. I dont know much about the body wraps but I wouldn't do it. What good is it going to do for a 12 year old?

Talked with Jim Frye of Formostar, and a woman named Aaron, or Erin, who is a formostar rep. They both said it was fine, recommended to reduce setting to 70 for her. Or start at 80 and reduce to 70 at half way thru.

They said they have heard of several businesses doing minors on the formostar. The mom is a good customer, so I don't want to just ignore her request. The daughter is having a really hard time losing weight. she has been going to fitness classes at the YMCA, or YWCA. And she is supposely on a healthy diet from a nutrientionist. But nothing is working well for her, so she wants to try this.

I plan to have the mom stay in the room the entire sessions and monitor her. Will advise how she does.

Tell her to quit feeding her kid garbage and go play outside.

I have a customer that is bringing her daughter in who is obese. Told her to talk to her doctor. If he okays it and brings a doctors note, then i have no problem.

She's 14 i believe.

I told her i don't see a problem with it. It's got no side effects unless you have certain conditions. Doctor looked at the pamphlet and said that it's fine and if she wants to do it, he doesn't object.

I told her to bring it in writing and i'll set her up with the 20pack to get started.

After that sale, i'm going to lock up and go home.
