Paraffin Treatments
Warm paraffin treatments rejuvenate, hydrate, and nourish the skin beyond your expectations, while the heat penetrates deep into your muscles and joints! After a paraffin dip the heat increases the blood supply to the area being treated. Moisture is drawn from the underlying layers of the skin. It surfaces and mixes with the applied moisture. This fluid is unable to evaporate because of the paraffin glove. It is then infused back into the skin resulting in the most successful way to rejuvenate, hydrate, and nourish the skin. Even when it feels like the heat has worn off, the treatment is still working deep in the muscles and joints. Leaving the paraffin on longer gives better results.

How Does Paraffin Work?
Paraffin wax has a very high heat capacity, meaning it is able to absorb and retain a great amount of heat. A paraffin wax spa takes advantage of paraffin's heat-retaining capacity in a simple process called heat transfer. In technical terms, heat is transferred to the core of the affected area as paraffin goes through a phase change. As it melts, the paraffin becomes a liquid and is able to retain more heat. Then, when a hand, foot, or other area is dipped into the heated bath, the phase of the paraffin that surrounds the dipped area quickly changes into a solid. The heat that is given off is called the heat of fusion. More simply, the heat that goes into melting the paraffin comes out when it solidifies into a comforting paraffin coating, thus transferring the heat into the affected limb. Another way to look at it is the paraffin is the medium that transfers heat from the TherabathPRO to the painful area.
