Full Body Paraffin Treatments

Note: Never completely cover the body in paraffin. Treat only sections at a time.

Materials: TherabathPRO Unit Paraffin Wax (choose from six scents) Sanitizing Spray Intensive Hydrating Cream Massage table or similar type table Electric blanket Disposable sheet Strips of plastic (such as plastic wrap or waxed paper) Lightweight bath or hand towels Folded paper towels 3”–4” wide, soft, natural bristle brush Optional: Rolling cart for supplies

1. Line the table with the electric blanket, then the disposable sheet. (The electric blanket helps to keep the client warm.)
2. Because paraffin may get on the client's clothing, she should wear appropriate disposable spa garments.
3. Place the TherabathPRO as close to the client as possible and work quickly (the paraffin solidifies rapidly).
4. Apply Sanitizing Spray to your hands, mist the client’s hands and feet, and wipe dry.
5. Apply Intensive Hydrating Cream to elbows, shoulders, knees, feet, and neck.
6. Dip the brush in the TherabathPRO, picking up enough paraffin on the brush to cover large areas. If necessary, wipe the brush on the side of the bath to remove excess paraffin. Use a folded paper towel under the brush as you are going from bath to client to avoid dripping paraffin onto the client.
7. Starting at the ankles, brush on paraffin fairly quickly in long strokes, working upward to cover the body with an even coating of paraffin.
8. Apply at least three layers of paraffin. The thicker the layer of paraffin, the better the moisturizing results achieved and the easier the paraffin will be to remove.
9. When finished coating the legs, cover them with plastic wrap and lightweight towels to retain heat while you continue.
10. When paraffin application on the legs and back is completed, fold the disposable sheet around the body, then fold the electric blanket over the sheet.
11. After 15 to 20 minutes, unwrap the body and remove the paraffin in large pieces. Wipe with a soft towel to ensure that all the paraffin is completely removed. Discard all used paraffin.
12. Have the client roll over and repeat steps 5 through 11.
13. Finally, massage in additional Hydrating Cream, concentrating especially on problem areas (elbows, shoulders, knees, heels, etc.).
