Hand Paraffin

Service Description

Hand paraffin is a therapeutic treatment for the hands that involves dipping them into warm, melted paraffin wax. The heat from the wax helps to soften and hydrate the skin, making it smoother and more flexible. It is often used to relieve pain and stiffness in the hands, as well as to improve circulation. Paraffin wax is made from a mixture of solid and liquid hydrocarbons, which are naturally derived from petroleum, coal, or shale. The wax is melted and then applied to the skin in a thin layer. The heat from the wax causes the skin to open up, allowing the wax to penetrate deep into the skin and provide nourishing moisture. The hand paraffin treatment is typically performed in a spa or salon setting, but it can also be done at home with the use of a paraffin bath or wax heater. To perform the treatment, the hands are first cleansed and dried, and then dipped into the melted wax several times. After a few minutes, the wax is removed and the hands are wrapped in plastic or cloth to keep the heat in. The treatment usually takes about 20-30 minutes and can be repeated several times a week for optimal results. Some of the benefits of hand paraffin include increased hydration, reduced pain and stiffness, improved circulation, and smoother, softer skin. The heat from the wax can also help to relieve the symptoms of conditions such as arthritis and rheumatism, and can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
