Paraffin wrap parafango at home

Parafango wrap is a popular and effective method of combating cellulite. To carry out the procedure, a mixture of therapeutic mud and seaweed is used, which are mixed with paraffin. This mixture is applied hot to the desired areas of the body.

Under the influence of active substances during the wrap, skin renewal, fat breakdown, and nutrition with antioxidants and microelements occur. The effect of heat calms the psyche and relieves emotional stress.

Principle of the procedure

To carry out a parafango wrap, purified cosmetic paraffin, sea mud and algae are used - bladderwrack and kelp. The components are highly fortified and contain iodine, nicotinic acid, retinol, vitamins B, C, K, D and E.

Parafango wrap is a salon spa treatment. It uses purified cosmetic paraffin, heated to 50-54 degrees, which provides lasting protection against burns.

Before using the mixture, problem areas are cleaned with a special salt scrub. For stagnant cellulite, a serum is used that normalizes the water-salt balance and ensures microcirculation of blood in the tissues.

After the preparatory manipulations, a mixture of parafango is applied to the body, the areas are wrapped in a special film to create a greenhouse effect and covered with a heat-resistant blanket. The final stage of the wrap is an anti-cellulite massage using cosmetic cream.

Parafango wrap kit:

• mixture for parafango (sea mud, brown algae extract, cosmetic paraffin);
• scrub with large abrasive particles of sea salt;
• special anti-cellulite serum;
• thick cellophane film;
• brush for applying the mixture;
• warm or heat-saving blanket.

Carrying out the procedure

Difference from regular wrap

This wrap is highly active in the fight against subcutaneous fat and manifestations of cellulite due to the rich ionic composition of the sludge, special microelements of algae and the warming effect of molten paraffin. After all, a lot of wraps in salons are performed using a thermal blanket - special heating equipment, where a person is placed, the surface of whose skin is coated with a special mass. Whereas in the situation with this technique, such a blanket is not required - its role is played by melted medical paraffin:

1. Under the influence of temperature (45-54 degrees), blood flow and microcirculation in the skin increases, nutrition of the subcutaneous tissue increases, pores expand and sweating increases.
2. Paraffin is not only used for heating purposes - when it hardens on the outside of the body, it forms a moisture-proof film. At the same time, greenhouse conditions are created under such a case, conducive to increased lymph outflow and the removal of toxins from sweat.
3. Warm and moisturized skin better allows the active components of algae, plankton and other elements of sea bottom silt to pass through it. As a result, the skin and subcutaneous fatty tissue are enriched with microelements and vitamins, which accelerates their recovery.
4. When paraffin hardens, it has a soft tightening effect on the skin - thanks to which the parfango wrap realizes its lifting effect.
5. Another advantage of this technique is the fact that after the mass has completely hardened, it is easily removed from the skin without leaving any traces.

It is for this reason that this “hot wrap” technique has a huge number of fans in many countries around the world.

Indications

The main indications for the parafango wrap procedure:

• treatment and prevention of cellulite (hormonal, vascular and nutritional);
• healing and strengthening the walls of blood vessels and capillaries;
• getting rid of stagnant and chronic edema;
• correction of figure relief;
• cosmetic skin therapy for the skin of the hands and feet;
• increased skin turgor.

The duration of each wrap session varies from 40 minutes to one hour. The effect can be seen after the first wrap. To achieve maximum results, you will need an intensive course of wraps, usually 8-10 procedures with a short interval between them. When modeling your figure, the procedure allows you to get rid of 1-2 cm of adipose tissue in one session. The complex is designed not only for a more pronounced result, but also for its stability.

The result of the parafango procedure

A little history

Parafango wrap was developed in Europe in the 50s of the twentieth century - which is why many cosmetologists consider this procedure to be old, although it is only a little over 60 years old. It’s just that compared to biorevitalization, contour plastic surgery, and many wrapping recipes, this procedure really looks like a “grandmother.” However, in its effectiveness and properties, parafango surpasses a huge number of ultra-modern aesthetic medicine techniques.

During the years when this technique appeared, mud therapy and thalassotherapy were very popular - the use of various products of marine origin in cosmetology, for example, algae, sea silt, and so on. At the same time, the idea arose to combine these cosmetology techniques of those years along with the warming effect of medical paraffin - as a result, the parafango procedure was discovered, but it was used not only in cosmetology. With its help, such severe conditions as rheumatism, inflammatory manifestations in joints and internal organs were treated, for rehabilitation after injuries and severe surgical interventions. But gradually the popularity of the technique in this area faded away - mainly due to the discovery of more effective means of rehabilitation and treatment of these diseases.

However, the “cosmetological side” of parafango, which was previously in the shadows, made itself known in full - it turned out that such wraps best help eliminate such a common problem as cellulite. In addition, the warming and tonic properties of this technique help improve local metabolism in subcutaneous fat tissue, promote the breakdown of subcutaneous fat, which leads to a weight loss effect. Since in our time all these problems have not yet been overcome, the parafango procedure is quite in demand and popular in many beauty salons and at home.

Contraindications

Relative and absolute contraindications to parafango wraps are:

• gynecological diseases, both acute and chronic;
• pregnancy period;
• the presence of any blood clots in the walls of blood vessels (in order to find out about this, you need to undergo an ultrasound examination of the veins and arteries of the leg and upper extremities, all main and large vessels, arteries of the neck and head, aorta, heart);
• wounds and fistulas on the body;
• exacerbation of chronic diseases of internal organs and systems;
• malignant and benign neoplasms;
• hypertension, hypertension, cardiac ischemia, cardiovascular failure, infectious diseases, as well as heart muscle defects;
• dermatological diseases of various origins in the acute and chronic phase and course.

Beneficial properties of paraffin for the body

Despite the fact that paraffin is heated to a high temperature, burns are excluded. This is a unique material; it has low thermal conductivity, due to which it releases heat gradually. In addition, it has a high heat capacity and is able to maintain its temperature for a long time. Cosmetic paraffin is chosen for procedures, as it is more free of harmful substances than regular paraffin.

The benefits of paraffin wrap are as follows:

• Removing toxins
  . During the procedure, the skin temperature increases and the pores open, and active sweating begins. Along with it, all the harmful substances that have accumulated in the skin for a long time come out.
• Active hydration
  . Paraffin removes toxins released along with sweat, and the remaining purified liquid is absorbed back into the skin, relieving it of dryness.
• Rejuvenation
  . Due to abundant hydration, the process of restoring the skin's water balance starts, and wrinkles are smoothed out.
• Improvement of skin structure
  . With such thermal procedures, the blood supply to the body significantly improves.
• Anti-cellulite effect
  . When cooled, the paraffin shrinks and creates pressure on problem areas.
• Antistress
  . Paraffin wrap has a calming effect on the nervous system and improves blood pressure.
• Nutrition
  . Using essential oils during the procedure helps quickly saturate the skin with vitamins and minerals.

The paraffin wrap method is quite effective. Improvements are noticeable after the first procedure: the skin will become soft, moisturized, tightened and beautiful.

What is the essence of the effects of paraffin?

The substance is applied in several layers to cleansed skin, and a sauna effect is created underneath. The dermis begins to “breathe”, warming up, releasing toxins to the surface along with water, which does not evaporate, but is absorbed back. All contaminating components remain on the paraffin and are removed along with it.

This explains the one-time use of a portion of the product.

In addition to cleansing, it perfectly restores blood circulation and promotes the healing of microtraumas of the skin, saturates them with useful substances contained in its composition.

When the paraffin begins to cool, it shrinks, smoothes out wrinkles and relieves swelling from the areas where the application is applied.
