A skilled esthetician is a bit like a modern-day shaman, alchemist or medicine man. She borrows rare ingredients from Mother Nature, mixes them up and creates beautifying potions in the form of facials, scrubs and wraps. Unlike those mystics of yore, however, an esthetician doesn’t guard her knowledge. She’s happy to explain even the most exotic-sounding services in terms her clients can understand. If you want to know what “parafango” means, what it is and how it works, she’ll tell you. And so will we.
The word “parafango” is the offspring of two other words: “paraffin” (like the wax) and “fango,” the word for a special type of mineral mud. These are the two main ingredients used in the parafango treatment, a spa service that moisturizes, purifies and beautifies skin from top to bottom. We’ve come up with our own signature parafango treatment here at Burke Williams, and it’s incredibly popular for those who want a full-body skin-enhancing experience.
It all begins with an exfoliating salt scrub to remove dead skin cells and improve the effects of the treatment. Then, from your shoulders to your ankles, we apply our special parafango mud and wrap you up in a warm thermal blanket. Just like paraffin wax, parafango mud is an excellent way to apply deep, yet gentle heat to skin. As you enjoy the relaxing sensation of this gradual heat, your pores slowly dilate, allowing the mud’s natural minerals to draw toxins and other residues out of your cells. While you enjoy the purifying powers of this treatment, our professional estheticians treat you to an H2V Express Facial so your face will feel just as soft and renewed as the rest of your body.
Of course, every client’s experience is unique and special, so the best way for you to understand the powers of parafango mud is to schedule your own treatment at Burke Williams. Ready to experience the magic for yourself? Call us to book your session today!
