Paraffin Wax
Paraffin wax treatments help in moisturizing and softening the skin. Paraffin wax treatments are used most frequently to hands and feet, but can also be applied to the body by brush, or with cloth stips. The paraffin wax used in paraffin wax treatments is a softer wax because of the paraffin oil component. Due to the soft wax, it melts at a lower temperature compared to normal. This characteristic allows the skin to be submerged in the wax without causing any burn or blister to the skin.
There are a series of steps to complete a paraffin wax treatment
- Melt blocks of paraffin wax in special containers
- Clients dip their hands or feet into the melted wax several times
- The body part that is dipped is then wrapped in plastic
- After the layer is hardened, it is pulled off in one solid piece
The paraffin changes to a liquid form as it is heated and transfers heat to the body when applied. The heat opens your pores and penetrates deeply. Circulation increases, and skin is left feeling smooth. Paraffin is great for chronic tightness and pain, arthritis, and relaxation.
