Frequently Asked Questions

What is a therapeutic warm wax treatment? Therapeutic warm wax treatment involves dipping your feet in warm, melted paraffin wax. The warmth increases blood flow, soothes aching joints and muscles, and deeply moisturises dry or cracked skin. It leaves your feet feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed.

Who benefits most from warm wax treatment? Warm wax therapy is particularly beneficial for people with arthritis, joint stiffness, poor circulation, or very dry and cracked skin on their feet. It's also a wonderful treat for anyone who wants to pamper their feet and improve skin condition.

Is warm wax treatment safe for everyone? Warm wax is safe for most people, but it may not be suitable if you have open wounds, skin infections, reduced sensation in your feet, or certain circulatory conditions. We'll carry out an assessment before your treatment to ensure it's right for you.

How often should I have warm wax treatment? For ongoing benefits, we recommend warm wax treatment every 4 to 8 weeks, often as an add-on to your regular foot care appointment. However, even a single session can make a noticeable difference to dry or tired feet.
