Descriptions:
The Varitherm is an established unit used around the world. This is efficient and odour-free and heats up to 18kg of wax. It is thermostatically controlled with a safety cut-out in the event of lack of water.
Hot Wax therapy is one of several methods available to the therapist of applying heat directly to the surface of the body. Paraffin Wax melts at between 45° and 47° C. The wax is held at a temperature just above its melting point and the part of the body being treated is either immersed in the molten wax or the wax is poured onto it. Heat is transferred from the wax to the treatment area by thermal conduction. Although temperatures above 45° may lead to skin damage under normal circumstances, immersing a hand or foot in paraffin wax at 50° C is quite comfortable.
Water or oil at the same temperature would be uncomfortable and possibly damaging. However, when the skin comes into contact with the molten wax, the wax immediately next to the skin solidifies forming a thin insulating layer. This insulating layer, which is of low thermal conductivity, lowers the rate at which heat energy is applied to the skin to a level which is safe.
The Varitherm Wax Bath comprises a resin tank which holds the paraffin wax, surrounded by an electrically heated, thermostatically controlled water jacket. The temperature control may be set to maximum in order to provide rapid melting of the solid wax when the unit is first switched on. After almost all of the wax is melted, the temperature control is normally set to approximately 50° C so that the paraffin is just in its molten state.
