Manicure: Paraffin Treatment

For those who watch a lot of TV shows akin to CSI etc., you may have heard the words paraffin before. It’s normally used to check if someone recently fired a gun. I mentioned this because you’ll be going through this process as well in the dental spa.

While you’re having your tooth pulled out, someone may be doing manicure on your hands. One of the ways they do this is through Paraffin treatments. This is the process where they dip your hands into melted paraffin wax so they’ll soften and moisten. It’s used because the wax maybe heated to a high degree without the risk of scalding your hand.

Once done, your hands are wrapped in plastic or tin foil, the covered with cloth. After a few minuted the paraffin is cooled and dried, while your hands are now soft and moisturized.
