PARAFINOTHERAPY AND PURPOSE OF PARAFFINOTHERAPY FOR SLIMMING

Paraffin is a product of oil refining. Liquid paraffin is easily mixed with fats, it is used as a thickening component in many cosmetic products - creams, masks, depilatories, tanning agents, paraffin masks, makeup and other decorative cosmetics, as well as for the production of artificial petroleum jelly. Paraffin is non-toxic, but in some cases can cause skin irritation due to the presence of some impurities in it. Therapeutic procedures for weight loss with paraffin are carried out for problem areas of the body in the abdomen, sides and hips. Usually paraffin for weight loss is part of complex therapy, but in some cases it can be an independent therapeutic method of excess weight. Quite widely paraffin therapy is used in out-of-resort conditions.

The healing effect of paraffin is made up of the effects of thermal and mechanical factors. When applied to the skin, the molten paraffin solidifies, forming a film, the temperature of which rapidly decreases to body temperature. A thin gas layer forms between the skin and the film. The film and the gas layer protect the skin from the effects of high temperatures of the overlying layers of paraffin. When hardening, paraffin generates heat, so that the temperature under the paraffin layer remains constant throughout the weight loss procedure. As it cools, paraffin decreases by about 10 percent in volume, which causes its compression effect on fatty subcutaneous tissues. This contributes to deep warming, as well as a decrease in the lumen of peripheral vessels and acceleration of blood flow in them.

Procedures of paraffin therapy contribute to the expansion of capillaries, cause reddening of the skin. In this regard, the organs and tissues intensify the local metabolism, the general metabolic processes in the body are activated, which accelerates the excretion of slags and the breakdown of excess fats. Strengthening local sweating also contributes to the removal of toxic substances from the body. All this determines the anti-inflammatory and stimulating effect of paraffin in quality weight loss. For therapeutic purposes, weight loss is applied to purified white medical paraffin, devoid of impurities, with a melting point of 32 - 36 ° C. The paraffin is melted in a water bath, heating it to -100 ° C.

Paraffin for weight loss in addition to this contribute to the resolution of infiltrates and scars. It is used on chronic plaques of psoriasis, with alopecia areata, chronic eczema, limited forms of scleroderma, conglobata acne, acne, and also with a double chin, fading skin, dry skin of hands and feet,

Contraindications: acute inflammatory processes, sunburn, trauma after epilation, pustular skin lesions of the face, eczema, various tumors, hypertrichosis, rosacea, severe telangiectasia, tuberculosis, hypertension.

METHODS OF PARAFINOTHERAPY for weight loss

Layering. The melted paraffin of temperature 55 - 65 ° C is applied to the corresponding surface of the skin with a flat brush in a layer of 1 to 2 cm. Then this part of the body is covered with a plastic oilcloth, food film or wax paper and wrapped with a blanket or special quilted jacket. The temperature of such application is about 50 ° С.

Paraffin Bath. Brush hands or feet are first coated with paraffin temperature of 50 - 55 ° C, and then immersed in a wooden bath or oilcloth bag filled with molten paraffin at a temperature of 60 - 65 ° C.

Napkin application technique of weight loss.

After application of 1-2 layers of paraffin to the skin (up to a thickness of 0.5 cm), a gauze cloth, folded in 8-10 layers, is moistened in paraffin at a temperature of 65-70 ° C and slightly wrung out; a napkin is covered with an oilcloth and then a blanket.

Cuvette application technique of weight loss.

The melted paraffin is poured into cuvettes 5 cm deep laid out with a medical oilcloth protruding 5 cm beyond their edges (the size of the cuvette should correspond to the paraffin wax area). The thickness of the paraffin layer is at least 1 cm. The paraffin therapy procedures lasting 30-60 minutes are performed daily. In total, the course of treatment lasts 12 to 20 procedures. Rest after the procedure of weight loss should be 30 - 40 minutes.

When applying paraffin on a small area (especially with an uneven surface of the body), it is best to use the layering technique. The technique of the paraffin bath is convenient for the hands and feet. Napkin and cuvette-application techniques are widely used.

To avoid burns, the body area that is exposed should be completely dry. To hair do not stick to the cooling paraffin, they are shaved first or smeared with a cream.
