Imagine the wonder of the Harrods beauty parlour 25 years ago… what treatments might be on the card? In an industry where treatments are constantly being researched, developed and improved; only a handful have truly stood the test of time.
Urban Retreat at Harrods is one of the few places that still offers one of the simplest, most effective body treatments – the Paraffin Wax Bath Treatment. Therapist Mitzi Scheiderer has been practicing this vintage treatment for twenty eight years; Helene Pavlo for nineteen years.
Suitable for women of all ages, the Paraffin Wax Bath treatment was historically used in hospitals to treat patients to relieve aches and pains. Enter Urban Retreat, experience tradition and emerge with silky smooth transformed skin.
What is involved in the treatment?
15 litres of wax is heated up to a temperature of 38/39 degrees. Wearing nothing but a pair of disposable pants, the client lies on a plastic sheet. The treatment begins by having wax brushed all over the body with an additional amount being poured over. The client is then wrapped up in the plastic sheet, with towels and a blanket. Covered in wax and swaddled in a blanket the client is left to relax for approximately 30 minutes.
Water is provided throughout the treatment to avoid dehydration. The wax is then carefully peeled off to reveal rejuvenated skin. The treatments end with a shower.
