Sauna belts electronically produce infrared rays which increase the surface body temperature. Sauna thermal belt manufactures claims that core temperature increase burns away extra fat around that region. Now, external heat locally applied does cause a slight increase in metabolism in that area but it can’t burn fat away. That way, most people in India and Africa would lose weight during the summer. The weight loss is due to water being lost due to high temperature same way as you get dehydrated during summers.
And we’ve told you before, sweating does not make you lose weight. Sweating is merely a mechanism to cool the body surface and allowing heat to escape from the body.

There can be some serious repercussions of these sauna belts or thermal blankets since your body is exposed high temperatures, which may have detrimental impact on the people suffering from heart conditions and high blood pressure. If temperature is not monitored it can result in localized burns. Skin allergies are also very common if you using these belts at a common weight loss centre as then these are being used by many people.
