Paraffin is a mineral wax derived from petroleum and is the key ingredient in paraffin treatment. Paraffin wax has a high heat-retaining capacity and can effectively transfer heat to the affected body part when it is in a liquid state. For paraffin treatment, a paraffin bath is used to heat the wax to a specific temperature. When the wax is melted, hands and feet are immersed in the bath and removed to allow the wax layer to solidify. Your therapist or spa technician may paint other affected body parts with the melted wax for therapeutic purposes.
Rehab Store brings products required for effective paraffin treatment, such as paraffin wax machines, paraffin wax, insulation garments, paraffin mitts, and boots, at an affordable price.
Paraffin treatment is used for both cosmetic and therapeutic purposes. Paraffin helps in soothing chronic joint pain and in relaxing stiff muscles. Paraffin therapy improves blood flow to the affected area and range of motion for people with arthritis, bursitis, and other chronic joint conditions that cause pain and stiffness. Paraffin treatment is alps used in spas to smoothen and soften dry, chapped, rough, or scaly skin. Furthermore, wax therapy is also helpful for chronic skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis.
Paraffin therapy is generally safe, although you should take care not to heat the wax too much. Paraffin wax can catch fire if it is overheated. You should not use paraffin wax treatment if you have:
Paraffin wax does not contain water or oxygen, and the wax at a temperature of around 130 °F creates a hostile condition for pathogens to survive. Hot paraffin wax creates an instant barrier on the skin and solidifies as soon as it touches the skin. Because of this, any dirt or germs that are on the skin are unable to contaminate the melted wax in the bath.
While paraffin is safe and hygienic to use on the skin, it may cause heat rash for people with sensitive skin. Heat rash manifests as small red bumps on the skin that can be itchy and uncomfortable. Those with chemical sensitivity may develop minor swelling or breakouts. You can consult with a doctor before using the paraffin bath.
A paraffin wax bath is used to alleviate pain due to fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other joint mobility diseases. Heat therapy helps increase blood circulation to the affected area, relaxes the muscles to decrease stiffness, and may help minimize muscle spasms and inflammation.
Paraffin wax is often used for manicures and pedicures, and the wax is applied to the hands and feet. The paraffin used in spa treatments acts as a natural emollient that helps make skin soft and supple. It adds moisture to the skin and continues to boost the skin's moisture levels after the treatment is complete. A paraffin bath helps open pores and remove dead skin cells, making the skin look fresher and smoother.
Paraffin treatment is versatile, fast-acting, and offers deep moist heat therapy for a wide range of conditions. Paraffin wax relieves sore, stiff joints and muscles as well as offers excellent benefits to the skin.
