General Paraffin Bath Use Guidelines

Important Hygiene Instructions for Public Use of a Paraffin Bath (see also our hygiene page)

• Thoroughly wash and dry the skin before applying paraffin.
• Spray the skin with Therabath Sanitizing Spray. (Do not use the spray near the eyes, nose, or mouth.)
• Follow all paraffin application instructions.
• Discard used paraffin. Do not remelt used paraffin.
• Except for personal units, use separate units for hands and feet.
• Always place the cover on the TherabathPRO or Spa Peite when it is not in use.
• Clean your paraffin bath after every 25 treatments, when paraffin is cloudy, or when sediment accumulates on the bottom of the unit.

For All Paraffin Wax Treatments

• Thoroughly wash and dry the area to be treated. Remove jewelry. Make sure clothing is well out of the way of treatment area.
• If desired, test the temperature of the bath. The internal thermostat of the TherabathPRO unit ensures that the bath is kept at a safe, medically prescribed temperature and that the paraffin will not be too hot. To test the temperature, dab a small amount on the inside of your wrist. The paraffin will feel warm, but it will not burn. Adjust the variable temperature control on the Spa Petite to a temperature that is comfortable for you.
• Discard used paraffin.
