The application of paraffin creates the effect of a mini-sauna on the skin, trapping moisture and heat while increasing circulation. GiGi® paraffin solidifies into a heat-maintaining, custom-fitted "glove" for the skin. Each dip in the soft, pliable paraffin wax coats the skin and holds the heat for 10-15 minutes. It opens the pores of the skin to allow moisture penetration more readily and is a special treat for swollen or just tired hands and feet. Paraffin Therapy is a perfect and luxurious treatment that compliments both manicure and pedicure treatments.
