Paraffin is an oil-based wax. It does not work like a normal wax that estheticians use for hair removal purposes. In the aesthetic field paraffin is mostly used for hydration. People that have very dry, chapped, rough and scaly skin on their hands or feet, will see their skin a lot smoother in that area. Also, people with eczema and psoriasis can take advantage of this treatment. Other people that suffer from chronic joint pain and stiffness in the muscles can see improvements with paraffin.
