 What’s In

Hi there! You have learned in your past lesson the steps in a hand spa
treatment. As a review, can you still recall the first step in performing the hand spa
services? Yes, the first step is to check and analyze the condition of the client’s hands.
Any contraindications should be taken care of to protect the clients as well as the nail
technicians. Since allowing services to contraindicated conditions could lead to
accidents and extreme health problems. Therefore, clients’ consultation prior to
services is very important.

What’s New

Paraffin hand or foot spa treatment is beneficial to people who love to take good
care of their hands and feet. Paraffin hand spa is renowned for its general benefits;
 the massage helps to improve blood circulation to the extremities
 this can reduce pain and help the body to distribute heat
 any dirt is easily removed, along with dead skin cells
 keeps your hands smooth, soft and nourished
 reduces any appearance of wrinkles and exfoliates the skin
 helps remove any callouses on the bottom of the feet
 beneficial in relieving arthritic pain
 helps in detoxification, helps in maintaining ph balance in the body; and
 helps in reducing headaches: a light massage during the hand and foot spa
procedure stimulates the nerve points and helps in treating symptoms like
headache, migraine, etc.
An activity is prepared for you on the next page to exercise your mind in
identifying the benefits of a hand spa.
