Dry heat is often associated with skin irritation and skin dehydration, both of which can outweigh the pain relief dry heat offers. Moist heat, however, actually moisturizes the skin, increases blood flow to the afflicted area, and penetrates tissue layers faster than dry heat, providing quicker, more effective pain relief.
The WaxWel Paraffin Bath is a popular moist heat therapy unit. Paraffin acts as the catalyst for providing warmth to the hands and feet, and also exponentially increases the moisturizing aspect of the treatment. Patients with conditions like arthritis, rheumatic disease, fibromyalgia, and osteoarthritis will appreciate the soothing warmth in their hands and feet that allow their aching muscles and joints to finally relax.
Paraffin treatments have a long history of being used to treat hard, cracking skin; when the wax is removed, any dead skin goes along with it, leaving behind smooth, moisturized, healthy skin. This characteristic is a bonus for patients with scleroderma, a condition that hardens and tightens the skin painfully. The moist heat therapy will help soothe the tightened, pained skin while also softening the afflicted areas.
The WaxWel Paraffin Wax is made of high-quality paraffin that melts smoothly and evenly for uniform treatment. The variety of scent options will appeal to any nose. The oversized tank is large enough to accommodate a mens 12.5-foot size while still remaining compact enough to fit snugly into any d½cor.
The unit is ideal for both personal and professional usesimple to operate and great for personal treatments, but also sturdily built to stand up to repetitive, high-traffic use at a clinic or medical practice. Each unit comes with 100 basin liners, 1 hand mitt, 1-foot bootie, and 6 lbs of paraffin in a variety of scent options. The mitts and booties are made of soft terrycloth that is both washable and durable.
