Paraffin treatments are a luxurious and profitable add-on treatment to manicures and pedicures. A natural emollient, paraffin offers guests instant gratification with improved skin elasticity and softness.

Not only is it beneficial for the skin, but there are also a number of health benefits, including increased blood flow, relaxed muscles, and relief from joint stiffness.

While traditional paraffin systems include corded, electrical heating tubs, newer technology offers mobile therapists an alternative. Paraffin treatments are becoming completely individualized. Self-heating paraffin systems give spas the ability to offer completely sanitary treatments because the paraffin wax is already embedded inside the gloves or slippers. Additionally, self-heating components create a quick and easy add-on treatment for the skin care professional, eliminating long melt times for wax.

Self-heating systems have been a game changer in the spa industry. Paraffin wax can be melted without the use of electricity or batteries. The heat is completely natural: it uses natural minerals, such as magnesium, iron, and salt water.

Self-heating systems consist of very few components. They typically contain a heating chamber that houses the melting process safely without burning the wax. Treatment gloves or slippers are also a necessity. Additionally, the spa and its clients may benefit from aromatherapy, as there is an option to add essential oil to create a fragrant oasis for rest and relaxation.

While corded, electric tubs still have their place within spas; self-heating systems, however, allow for many more freedoms and add-on opportunities. Spas that have limited space will benefit from a completely portable unit, larger resorts will have the ability to offer in-room and pool-side treatments, and mobile therapists will now be able to offer a luxurious paraffin service that was previously only reserved to spa facilities.
