Paraffin treatment in Physiotherapy

This time at Isidro y Márquez, Aesthetics Dentofacial we are going to talk about paraffin and its use in some physiotherapy treatments .

The paraffin is a hydrocarbon white malleable by its appearance and high thermal conductivity is used as therapeutic agent and soothing pain rheumatological, arthritis, contractures, stiffness, tendinitis or sprains.

The most common way to apply paraffin treatment is to immerse the area to be treated (usually hands or feet) in a container containing paraffin at a temperature ranging between 50 and 55 degrees. If the area cannot be submerged directly, the product should be applied directly to the affected area.

Once the paraffin is impregnated in the skin, it should be allowed to cool slowly, allowing a film to form that will keep the heat in the area. In many cases it is convenient to wrap the area with plastic so that the heat is stored for a longer time.

paraffin-treatment1.jpgExperts advise to keep the wrap for 15 to 20 minutes, until the substance stops transmitting heat. Subsequently, the product, already solidified, is removed, returning it to the initial container since it can be reused several times.

Our physiotherapist, Jorge Pérez Ondina , assures that the paraffin treatment is not definitive but after several sessions the patient will notice how the pain decreases and mobility in the area is gradually regaining.

But in addition, paraffin has a high moisturizing power and is widely used in beauty treatments in people with problems of dehydration, dryness, lack of elasticity, cracked or peeling skin. So in addition to calming our pain, it will help us maintain the health of our skin.

PARAFFIN BATHS FOR THERAPEUTIC PURPOSES

The paraffin is a white substance, unctuous aspect, wax form.

It has a melting point of 53ºC. At this temperature point, the paraffin, originally solid, becomes liquid, promoting a  thermal action by giving up heat by conduction.

For paraffin to be used in thermotherapy, it must be heated until it reaches the melting point. For this, the paraffin bath is used.

Paraffin is highly indicated to provide high hydration in deep layers of the skin, as well as to treat muscle pain, osteoarthritis, arthritis, post-traumatic disorders , and other joint and periarticular diseases, especially in the hands and feet.

It also stimulates blood circulation since heat acts as a vasodilator by increasing blood flow in the veins.

To apply the Paraffin, in our case on the hands, we must take into account:

• Wash the area to be treated.
• Put your hands in the paraffin bath 3 times until you get a layer that retains the temperature.
• To keep warm, it is wrapped in a plastic bag and then in a towel.
• It keeps for 10-15 minutes until it cools down.

To take advantage of the benefits of paraffin after removing it, we perform different exercises that improve mobility, agility and strength of the fingers and wrist.

HOW TO HYDRATE YOUR FEET

The feet are one of the most important parts of the whole body. It is in summer when the feet suffer the most. However, we must know how to hydrate the feet even in winter. We leave you the best tips.

LEARN HOW TO HYDRATE YOUR FEET TO LOOK PERFECT ALL YEAR LONG
The feet are the support of the whole body and suffer a lot from rubbing against shoes. If lack of care is added to this, cracks and hardness appear. It is essential to know how to care for your feet and hydrate them.

FOLLOW A TREATMENT ROUTINE
In the same way that the skin of the face and body have their own daily routine, the feet must also have it. It consists of following a series of very simple steps.

• Soak your feet in lukewarm water. To do this, you have to fill a bucket with water, so that it allows the entire foot to be submerged up to the ankle. You can add a little chamomile, or even a tablespoon of a specific moisturizer for feet.
• Dry the skin very well. Moisture favors the proliferation of fungi, and this is precisely what must be avoided. Ideally, dry your feet with a clean cotton towel. It must be done without rubbing, giving gentle touches of pressure on the skin and without forgetting the space between the fingers.
• Apply a moisturizer. Of course, the cream must be specific for feet and should be applied when the feet are completely dry.

A good option is to follow the foot beauty ritual at night, just before going to sleep. Thus, after applying the cream, it is best to put on cotton socks that do not squeeze so that the product acts during the night. The next morning the feet will be perfect and very soft.

FEET NEED AN EXFOLIATION TOO
The skin on the feet also needs to be exfoliated once or twice a week, especially in summer. The frequent use of open footwear puts the feet in direct contact with external agents, such as the sun's rays and dirt. In addition, if the footwear used is not suitable, it can cause friction and increase dryness.

Thanks to exfoliation, dead cells and accumulated impurities on the skin surface are eliminated. A very simple treatment that greatly favors oxygenation and respiration of the skin.

USE THE PUMICE STONE
Pumice stone is essential for foot care. It is very useful when the amount of dead skin is excessive or when there are hardness in certain areas of the feet.

The pumice stone helps remove the hard area to leave skin soft, with a velvety texture. During the summer months it is advisable to use the pumice stone twice a week. The rest of the year, once a week is enough.

APPLY HOMEMADE MASKS ON YOUR FEET
There are some homemade masks that offer extraordinary results in foot care. They are masks that are made with 100% natural ingredients, with moisturizing and hydrating properties.

We leave you two types of masks that work very well:

• Use the avocado mask to deeply hydrate your feet. Avocado is one of the most prestigious foods in the world, well known for its high nutritional value.

To prepare the mask you need:

• 1/4 of avocado and 2 tablespoons of natural yogurt.
• Both ingredients are mixed very well, until a homogeneous paste is obtained
• Apply on the feet
• Cover them with a plastic bag and leave the mask to act for 30 minutes
• Once the time has elapsed, rinse it off with plenty of warm water.

To hydrate and repair dry and cracked skin, use the aloe vera mask, it is one of the most used ingredients to make all kinds of home remedies, both for skin and hair. It's great for caring for dry, cracked feet.

• Extract the gel from the leaf
• Apply it directly to the feet, with particular emphasis on the heel area, which is generally drier than the rest.
• Put on some socks and let it act overnight.

You can make this homemade solution twice a week.

Dry feet occur when the skin does not have the hydration it needs, as well as when the wrong footwear is used. It is important to follow the beauty routine for your feet on a daily basis, and apply some extra care from time to time, such as homemade face masks or scrub. Moisturizing and caring for your feet is easy with these little tricks.

Routine To Regenerate The Skin And Protect Your Hands

If your hands are suffering the ravages of an intense cleaning routine in this health crisis, we help you to recover them with a regenerative treatment.

The global health crisis situation that we are suffering as a result of the coronavirus, has made us realize, among other things, the amount of work that our hands do on a daily basis. The intensity with which we are washing them and the aggressive products that we are applying can cause dehydration and dryness. To take care of your hands in these difficult times, we recommend that you perform this repair treatment before going to bed.

STEP 1: EXFOLIATE THE SKIN ON YOUR HANDS
Your hands need, like the rest of the body, a periodic exfoliation to remove dead cells. Take care of the dermis and recover a soft and luminous skin with this simple gesture.

You can opt for a homemade recipe or a specific scrub for hands. Whichever option you choose, we recommend doing a small massage for about 30 seconds and then letting the product act for a few minutes before rinsing. Remove the product with warm water and dry your hands well. We do not recommend washing your hands with water that is too hot or too cold. 

The exfoliation will prepare your hands for the application of the moisturizer. Thanks to exfoliation, your skin will better absorb the product.

STEP 2: APPLY THE HAND CREAM AND MASSAGE GENTLY
With the help of Salerm Cosmetics Prebiotic Hand Cream , gently massage your hands. Start at the back of your hand and with your thumb, massage your fingers from the palm of your hand to the tip of each finger. Then gently stretch each finger to loosen them. Don't forget to massage your wrist. You can also use the cream to hydrate sensitive and dehydrated areas of the arm such as the elbow or forearm.

Salerm Cosmetics Prebiotic Hand Cream offers maximum hydration, repair and protection thanks to its formula with prebiotic active ingredients capable of promoting the growth, balance and activity of the microbiota of our dermis. Our skin will be protected from the proliferation of harmful bacteria and will have a greater number of beneficial microorganisms.

STEP 3: REAPPLY A THICK LAYER OF CREAM AND LEAVE IT ON OVERNIGHT
Apply a thick layer of moisturizer again and wrap your hands in cotton gloves. Leave the cream on overnight for total regeneration. During the night our body performs repair functions. For this reason, it is advisable to perform this treatment at night.

 
We hope that this routine will help you regenerate the skin on your hands and offer you protection for these extremely tough days. You can perform this treatment once a week. Take care!

Home remedies of cracked skin on hands

Sometimes chapped skin appears during winter, when the air is cold and dry, it can cause dry hands, feet, or even lips. It also occurs due to skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis, or because the skin comes into contact with irritants.

But chapped skin can also be a symptom of an underlying medical problem, as in the case of people with diabetes, who can develop cracks on the soles of their feet. Cracks in the skin can itch, flake, and even bleed.

There are those who may feel unpleasant sensations when applying any product on cracked skin. The skin may also feel more sensitive to the temperature of the water and the most common household cleaning products.

Bare hand

Cracked skin can appear anywhere on the body, but it is especially noticeable on exposed areas, such as the hands.

Causes
High winter temperatures and wind can irritate the skin. When the humidity of the environment is lower, the skin dries out and begins to crack. In cold or dry climates, many people also get dry and chapped lips. The almost reflex action of licking, biting and pinching can worsen chapped lips.

For its part, dermatitis occurs when you come into contact with a specific substance. Sometimes due to an allergy or because the substance with which it is contacted is irritating or toxic.

People with eczema or atopic dermatitis have dry and itchy skin. This causes the skin to become red and inflamed. In these cases, scratching only makes the situation worse. Eczema occurs when the skin loses too much moisture. This increased dryness causes dryness and, sometimes, cracks in the skin.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that affects the skin. People with psoriasis have very dry parts of the skin, usually on the scalp, trunk and around the joints. Some of the people with psoriasis may suffer pain.

Athlete's foot is an infection of the feet caused by a fungus that causes itching, a rash between the toes, drooping of the skin, and cracks. Spending a lot of time in the water, profuse sweating, or wearing shoes that don't allow you to breathe well make you more likely to get athlete's foot.

Diabetics can also suffer from dry or cracked skin on their feet. The changes they undergo in the nervous system make their feet sweat less.

Hands

Home remedies
To improve chapped skin, sufferers should avoid washing their hands in hot water. Hot baths and showers can make dry or cracked skin worse. Instead it is recommended to use lukewarm water, close the bathroom door to keep the room humid and limit the time in the shower to a maximum of 10 minutes.

As for the gel, it is convenient that it is soft and without perfume, to later dry the skin gently, without rubbing. Then it is recommended to apply moisturizer.

On the other hand, specialists speak of using gloves to go outside in winter, when performing tasks that wet the hands or when using aggressive chemicals or degreasers. Some dermatologists also advise using a humidifier at home if the environment is dry.

Some fabrics can irritate dry skin. Therefore, using soft and breathable fabrics, such as cotton or silk, and avoiding textured materials, such as wool, may be very suitable. Using hypoallergenic detergents and fabric softeners also helps reduce irritation.
