 The side effects of Paraffin wax
(There are no major side effects to a standard paraffin
treatment)

Paraffin wax is applied to the face, hands, feet and body during spa treatment that intended to
moisturize and soften the skin. Paraffin wax is a soft wax made from petroleum by products and has
been laboratory tested to be hygienically safe to use. Pure paraffin is colorless, tasteless and
odourless, although scented versions are available. If you ingest liquid paraffin or inhale paraffin
candle fumes, you may have adverse reactions including nausea, vomiting, headaches or even
benzene pollution that can lead to lung cancer. But there are no major side effects to the standard
topical application.
Heat Rash
Paraffin melts at a lower than normal temperature, meaning that the skin can be submerged in the
wax without causing burning or blistering. However, if you have highly sensitive skin, you may
experience heat rash from a paraffin application to the skin. This rash, also called prickly heat, looks
lke tiny red bumps on the face, neck and upper torso. It can be itchy and uncomfortable.
Poor circulation
Paraffin treatments are not recommended for people with
hypertension, diabetes or varicose veins. This treatment can lead to
abnormal sensations, numbness and hinders circulation if you are
diabetic.

Irritated skin
Because paraffin comes from petroleum products, people with
chemical sensitivities may develop minor swelling or breakouts from
the wax treatment. Avoid paraffin wax treatments if you have any skin
rashes or open wounds.
PARAFFIN WAX

 Paraffin wax is a petroleum by-

product that has excellent sealing
properties to hold in moisture.
 Special units are utilized to melt solid
wax into a liquid and then maintained
at a temperature generally between
125° and 130° F.
 Never try to heat the wax in anything
other than the proper equipment
 This can be very dangerous and may
result in painful skin burns or a fire.
