How Does Therabath Pro Paraffin Wax Heat Therapy Work?

Parrafin heat Treatment

Paraffin wax has a very high heat capacity - it's able to absorb and retain a lot of heat. A paraffin wax spa (from Therabath Pro) takes advantage of paraffin's heat-retaining capacity in a simple process called heat transfer. Heat is transferred directly to the core of the affected area as paraffin goes through a phase change. As it melts, the paraffin becomes a liquid and is able to retain additional heat. When a hand, foot, or other area is dipped into the heated wax bath, the phase of the paraffin that surrounds the dipped area quickly changes into a solid. The heat that is given off is called the heat of fusion.

Basically, the heat that goes into melting the paraffin comes out when it hardens into a comforting paraffin coating, transferring the heat into the affected areas. Another way to look at it is the paraffin is the medium that transfers heat from the Therabath Pro to the painful area.

At the same time, the heat from the paraffin opens pores and increases circulation in the skin. This is why paraffin is so beneficial to skin, leaving skin softened and more radiant.


Can the moist heat therapy from Therabath Pro help joint pain and stiffness? How about my dry skin?

Paraffin wax heat therapy is one of the most effective means of applying deep heat to relieve pain and stiffness in joints and other areas. The warm paraffin wax also moisturizes as it comforts, resulting in healthier looking, softer skin.

Therabath Pro warm paraffin wax treatments are fast-acting, drug-free, and versatileperfect for treatment of arthritis joint pain relief.
