For Hands and Elbows and Feet:

A helpful suggestion – to retain heat you can place your hand into a plastic liner and cover your hand with the terry cloth mitt for 15 minutes to continue longer heat therapy.

1. Remove all jewellery and wash and dry hands thoroughly.
2. Remove lid from the WaxWel Paraffin Bath unit and carefully test the temperature of the wax on the inside of your wrist.
3. Open your hand by spreading your fingers apart and slowly immerse your hand into the paraffin wax. Then gently remove your hand from the heat, wait approximately 3 seconds (for the paraffin to set on your hand) and dip your hand again into the wax. Re-dip your hand into the wax using the same technique three four times. The more layers of wax you create help to insulate the heat therapy.
4. After heat therapy is finished, peel the hardened wax from your hands. Start from the wrist and work in a downward motion removing all the paraffin.
5. We recommend you discard the shell of hard wax, as it may contain build-up from skin. DO NOT PUT PARAFFIN RESIDUE BACK INTO THE BATH UNIT.
6. To complete your therapy treatment, you can massage oil or lotion of your choice into your hands to maintain softness.

NOTE: The paraffin usually takes 12-15 minutes to completely harden.
