Pain relief: It can alleviate joint pain and muscle stiffness, which is beneficial for arthritis.

Non-invasive: A soothing treatment without the need for surgical intervention.

Quick results: Immediate improvement in skin texture and relief from discomfort.

Considerations

Dr Malhotra cautioned that while paraffin wax therapy is generally safe, ensuring the wax temperature is appropriate to prevent burns is essential. She also noted that individuals with open wounds, skin infections, or conditions like eczema should avoid this treatment to prevent irritation.
