- Paraffin wraps generate heat that helps the body perspire, thereby allowing moisture and previously applied nutrients to be absorbed from the skin surface into the body. The paraffin may be used alone or in conjunction with mud or seaweed.
- Mud is warmed, applied thickly, and the body wrapped in plastic or foil for 20 to 30 minutes. A full treatment takes 60 minutes. Fifteen minutes should be allowed between clients for cleanup and retail selling.
- First sea salt soak. Put 2 tablespoons in a manicure tray or ½ cup on foot bath. Then sugar scrub. After the salt bath, apply sugar scrub to arms, legs or body. Moisture Mask. Apply liberally to the hands, feet, or body and cover with a warm towel. Lastly massage some cream.
- Common treatments at medical spas include laser treatments, intense pulsed light treatments, botox injections, laser hair removal etc.
