Hi everyone, I wasnt sure which thread to put this on as its not technically skin but wasnt sure where else to put it!
I qualified in ear candles about 15 years ago and only use Biosun candles. I was doing some digging around on the internet to help me with some new marketing for the treatment. And there seems to be a shift in what people think happens during a treatment.
I was taught that the wax like residue (if any) in the candle after treatment (sometimes soft and sometimes rock hard and light to dark in colour) was actual ear wax. Though now it seems that claim isnt true.
Also there are massive claims that its dangerous. That the clients head should be covered with a towel or a paper plate put at the bottom of the candle. I wasnt ever taught this. Whilst the candle has a flame you are there holding it and its unlikely to burn the client. Claims that the wax can drip down the candle and into your ear?
Ive never had any trouble but just wondering what everyones thoughts are. I was taught well but thinking how do you advertise a treatment you know is effective if there are articles out there spreading horror stories.
Thanks
