🖐️ Paraffin Hand Wax Treatment
Paraffin Wax Therapy is a warm, soothing treatment that involves dipping the hands into melted paraffin wax. The wax coats the skin, creating a barrier that traps heat and helps moisturize, soften, and rejuvenate the hands. It is commonly offered as part of manicures or as a standalone hand therapy.
✨ How It Works
- Cleansing & Exfoliation – Hands are thoroughly cleansed and sometimes lightly exfoliated to remove dead skin cells.
- Wax Application – Warm paraffin wax is melted to a safe, comfortable temperature and applied by dipping multiple times or brushing it on.
- Heat Retention – Hands are wrapped in plastic or placed in mitts to retain warmth.
- Absorption – The wax remains for 10–15 minutes, allowing heat and moisture to penetrate the skin.
- Wax Removal & Moisturization – The wax is removed, leaving hands soft, hydrated, and rejuvenated.
The treatment is gentle, relaxing, and non-invasive, providing immediate softness and comfort.
🌟 Benefits
- Deep Moisturization – Locks in moisture for soft, smooth hands.
