Paraffin Wax Therapy

What is it?
It is a form of heat therapy - paraffin wax is melted in a
special container and applied to the skin either by dipping, e.g. hand or foot into the liquid or
using a brush e.g. on the
back/shoulder/elbow. Several coats are needed for full benefits to be achieved.
Who needs it?
Paraffin Wax Therapy is used by various practitioners in
health, beauty and spa industries. It is used widely to aid in the treatment of
arthritis; fibromyalgia; overworked or fatigued muscles; stiff joints to name
just a few. Paraffin Wax Therapy reduces pain and stiffness around joints while
providing lubrication.
Why have Paraffin Wax Therapy?
For pain relief; reduction of oedema and inflammation; skin
softening (useful for scleroderma; arthritis relief; moisturising of very dry
skin; increased circulation.
It soothes and moisturises the skin, opens pores, increases
circulation and promotes a sense of calm. It increases the blood supply to the
area being treated and traps moisture resulting in rejuvenated and nourished
skin.
It is easy and doesn’t take long.
What is a treatment like?
Let’s say you have booked for a manicure and added on a
paraffin wax treatment – after nail and cuticle work is done and your hands
massaged with a blend of aromatherapy oils or rich emollient cream you are
invited to dip each hand momentarily in the wax bath, then this is repeated
twice.
Your hands are then wrapped in salon roll and encased in a polythene
protector and then a towelling mitt. The wax is left in place for approximately 15
minutes to do its work then removed. A short moisturising massage finishes the
paraffin wax treatment.
It is also possible to introduce wax to the back prior to massage and this is also available at The Studio.
