Medical paraffin is used, and the indirect heating method is adopted, using a double-layer pot for heating or electric heating on the water layer at the bottom of the wax tank. Pour the completely melted wax liquid into an enamel tray or aluminum tray, with a thickness of about 2-3cm. When it cools and solidifies into blocks (surface temperature 45℃-50℃), take out the wax blocks with a small spatula and apply them to the obese areas. Repeat this process until the wax film reaches a thickness of 0.5-1.0 cm, then add another wax cake on the outside, or brush the wax film to a thickness of 0.5-1.0 cm and then use plastic wrap and cotton pads for insulation for 30-60 minutes. Once a day, 20-30 times is one course of treatment.
Comment: Due to the characteristics of high heat capacity, low thermal conductivity, and long heat retention time of paraffin, the local skin capillaries in the wax treatment area dilate and become congested, and heat can penetrate to a depth of 1-5 cm below the skin. This causes a significant increase in local sweat gland secretion and excessive sweating, and also has a strong and lasting heat penetration effect, which can accelerate swelling reduction and enhance the phagocytic function of the reticular endothelial system, improve metabolism, and thus has a good weight loss effect. Due to the good plasticity and viscosity of paraffin, it can closely contact with the skin. During the cooling process, its volume shrinks, producing a gentle mechanical compression effect on the skin and subcutaneous tissue. This can prevent the leakage of lymph and blood from the tissue and promote the absorption of exudates. The wax contains oily substances, which have a lubricating effect on the skin, making the skin soft and elastic, improving skin nutrition, accelerating epithelial growth, promoting regeneration, and achieving the effect of weight loss and beauty.
