Treat Yourself to the Benefits of a Paraffin Hand Treatment

A visit to the dentist… What better time to get a paraffin treatment?

 

With summer here, we are starting to enjoy our beautiful gardens and fun outdoor activities with family and friends. Unfortunately, working to beautify the garden and basking in the warm, dry air also means we're likely to be experiencing dry skin.

Contrary to what some may think, paraffin wax treatments are not just for prettifying hands. They also offer many health benefits.
 

Heat Therapy

The wax used in paraffin treatments is a soft type which melts without burning the skin. When the melted wax is applied to the hands, the gentle and even heat increases blood flow and relaxes the muscles. The result is relief from joint stiffness and pain, as well as increased range of motion. This is an effective therapy if you suffer from ailments like arthritis or tendonitis, or if you've overworked your hands, leading to soreness and fatigue.
 

Skin Softening and Rejuvenation

During the heat of the summer months, our skin is prone to drying out. Paraffin treatments help prevent this by opening up the pores and allowing the moisturizers to work their magic. Dead cells are removed when wax is peeled off leaving softer, touchable and more comfortable skin.
 

Relaxation

This is not often a word associated with a visit to the dental office. Another, often overlooked benefit of a paraffin treatment is aromatherapy. Essential oils present in the paraffin add to the overall relaxing experience.
