Natural thermotherapy treatment for relaxation and body contouring

 

Parafango is a mineral mud and natural paraffin compound designed for aesthetic and therapeutic treatments that aim to improve circulation, reduce localized fat, relieve muscle tension and promote deep relaxation.

 

Thanks to its excellent thermal retention, it provides long-lasting heat diffusion, enhancing local vasodilation, oxygenation and cellular metabolism. This makes it ideal for body wraps, lymphatic drainage and anti-cellulite therapies.

 

Easy to heat and apply, Parafango adapts perfectly to any body area, leaving the skin soft, nourished and revitalized after each treatment.

 

Main features:

 

  • Blend of natural mud and paraffin
  • Long-lasting thermal effect
  • Improves circulation and detoxification
  • Ideal for slimming and relaxation treatments
  • Relieves muscle and joint tension
  • Smooth texture, easy to apply
  • Professional use in spas and therapy centers
  • Net weight: 2kg

 

Usage recommendations:

 

  • Heat in a water bath to 45–50 °C
  • Apply evenly with a spatula
  • Cover with osmotic film or thermal blanket
  • Leave for 20–30 minutes
  • Remove with a warm towel or compress
  • Do not reuse the applied product

 

Indications and instructions for use:


For body contouring, anti-cellulite, relaxation and physiotherapy treatments.
For professional use only.

 

Leaves the skin soft and relaxed while enhancing the effectiveness of every treatment


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Additional information

 

Fango is the Italian word for Lava, originated from the Phonólito rock, which in the Miocene period (13 to 25 million years ago) was Lava. The Phonolite is mined, then processed at high temperatures and transformed into a very fine powder called Fango.
In addition to their volcanic origin, fangos can be mud of marine origin or from thermal springs. Due to their origins, these muds are rich in minerals and organic substances, which give them characteristic colors (white, green, yellow, brown or black) and different therapeutic functions – depending on the minerals or organic substances they have and the concentration of these substances. It was created in 1952 by Prof. Erich Hesse in Hamburg, Germany.

 

 


WHAT IS THERMOTHERAPY?
Thermotherapy is the application of heat to the body with a therapeutic purpose through physical agents. Physical agents propagate through the body by conduction and convection, producing a rise in the temperature of superficial tissues which, in turn, can have indirect effects on the deep tissues of our bodies.

WHAT TYPES OF EXOGENOUS SURFACE HEAT DO WE USE?
Paraffin
mud
moist heat


WHAT IS WAX?
Paraffin is a solid substance that contains both saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. It is heated in a special reservoir, which keeps it in a liquid state at a temperature between 45° and 54°C.

Paraffin is mainly used to warm the body extremities such as the hands and feet and can be applied by repeated or continuous immersion. Continuous immersion allows for more effective heating and should last between 15-20 minutes


WHAT IS FLAT?
Mud is like a mud formed by solid components (predominantly acrylic) and a liquid component (sulfured or chlorinated water.

The mud is heated in the mud tub to a
temperature of approximately 58ºC and the treatment time can vary between 15 to 30 minutes.

The mud has great plasticity, homogeneity and thermal capacity. These factors, associated with a low conductivity, allow it to conserve heat longer than other types of superficial thermotherapy and make it an indispensable agent in our daily practice.

WHAT IS MOIST HEAT?
Moist heats are compresses composed of mineral volcanic substances or silicate gel coated with cotton. These compresses are immersed in water at a temperature between 60º and 90ºC in a proper container (Hydrocoollator). The thermal effect is obtained because these compresses absorb large amounts of water, so for their application it is necessary to wrap them in several layers of towels to prevent them from causing superficial burns.

WHAT ARE THE PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF THE APPLICATION OF HEAT?
The application of these forms of heat used in a therapeutic context can have both local and systemic effects.

Heat increases cell activity and chemical reactions related to metabolism.

Dilation of blood vessels increases blood flow and the transport of oxygen and nutrients to cells, enhancing the output of metabolic waste.

In some cases, these mechanisms reduce secondary muscle spasm, producing a muscle relaxation effect and consequent pain reduction. This is possible due to changes in nerve conduction velocity and can also be explained by the role of endorphins in the Central Nervous System.

Concomitantly with these vascular effects, there is also an alteration in the viscosity of the synovial fluid (the fluid inside the joints that allows its fluid movement).

These reactions aim to accelerate tissue regeneration. These effects can be harmful at an early stage of the injury (increasing edema, intratissue hemorrhage, chemical activity and pain). In more advanced stages, that is, in sub-acute or chronic conditions, the increase in the speed of these chemical reactions can be very favorable for the cell regeneration process.

WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
Analgesia in sub-acute or chronic conditions
muscle relaxation
Increased joint range
Increased elasticity of superficial tissues such as skin.

 

CONTRAINDICATIONS
Infections or acute inflammatory states
Heart, kidney or liver failure
Changes in thermal sensitivity
open wounds
Skin pathologies susceptible to aggravation
cancer disease
Pregnancy (last 4 weeks)
