Paraffin wax treatments are generally safe for most people. However, there are some risks to consider. The wax should be heated to the appropriate temperature to avoid burns. People with open wounds, skin infections, or certain skin conditions should avoid paraffin wax treatments. Ensuring the wax and equipment are clean is important to prevent infections. Consulting with a healthcare provider before starting paraffin wax treatments can help determine if it’s a suitable option for you.
