Paraffin can also be beneficial for rehabilitation of sports injuries and other physical trauma. At the Nail Spa at FAC you can have the treatment performed as an additional service to your manicure and/or pedicure. Paraffin treatment is a form of deep heat therapy.

When you dip your hand or foot, for example, into the paraffin bath, heat transfers from the wax into the affected area as the wax solidifies. The heat increases circulation and relieves pain and stiffness.

When the cooled wax is pulled away from the skin, it also removes dead skin cells, leaving skin smoother [source: Barajas ].
