Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Face Paraffin.

A professional facial uses warm, medicated paraffin wax applied to the face to open pores, boost circulation, and lock in moisture. Heat helps active ingredients absorb more deeply, resulting in immediate hydration, smoother texture, and a radiant, dewy finish.

Sessions typically run 30 to 45 minutes, including cleansing and product application. The paraffin phase itself lasts about 10 to 15 minutes, providing deep hydration and relaxation without taking too much time out of your day.

Many clients with sensitive skin can enjoy paraffin with proper assessment and gentle formulations. However, active acne, open wounds, or extreme rosacea may rule it out. Our technicians perform a consultation and patch test to ensure safety and minimize irritation.

When performed professionally with appropriate cleansing and non-comedogenic products, paraffin shouldn't clog pores. Heat temporarily opens pores but also helps remove impurities and allows treatments to penetrate. If you're prone to breakouts, inform your technician for tailored product choices.

Many clients notice immediate improvement in hydration, softness, and radiance right after the treatment. Optimal results continue for several days, especially with follow-up home care and moisturizing products recommended by your technician.

Avoid harsh exfoliants and direct sun for 24–48 hours. Keep skin hydrated with gentle moisturizers and SPF during the day. Use recommended serums to extend benefits, and schedule regular treatments for ongoing hydration and improved skin texture.
