Overview & Procedure

What the treatment is and how it's performed

What it is

In candle massage, a massage candle made of plant waxes and oils is lit. The candle melts into a warm oil that is poured onto the skin and used in the massage. The oil has a lower temperature than an ordinary candle and leaves the skin soft. The therapist checks the temperature before the oil touches the skin.

  1. The therapist goes through your health and your wishes.
  2. You lie on a massage bench, well covered with towels.
  3. The therapist massages with oil, and the pressure is adapted to you.
  4. You rest for a while at the end.

The massage takes 30–60 minutes.

Experience & Recovery

Pain level, downtime and healing

The massage should not hurt. The pressure is adapted to you, and you can say so along the way.

  • Common: stiffness or tenderness for one to two days.
  • Uncommon: tiredness or a mild headache for the rest of the day.
  • Rare: bruises or an allergic reaction to the oil.

  • Drink plenty of water.
  • Take it easy for the rest of the day, if you can.

No downtime.

Expectations & Safety

Who it's for and safety information

  • If you take blood-thinning medicines, tell the therapist. The pressure must then be lighter.
  • If you are pregnant, tell the therapist, so the massage and your position can be adapted.
  • Massage relieves, but does not replace examination of pain you do not know the cause of.
  • Tell the therapist about allergies to nuts, shea butter or fragrance.

  • Dry skin.
  • Anyone who wants a relaxing massage with warmth.

  • A fever, an infection or a fresh injury.
  • Wounds, eczema or a rash where you will be massaged.

Many people have massage regularly, for example once a month, to keep muscle tension down.

  • A current or past blood clot, or inflamed varicose veins.
  • Fresh fractures or recent surgery in the area.
  • Cancer, unless a doctor has cleared you.
  • Reduced sensation in the skin, for example with diabetes. You then cannot feel if the heat is too strong.

Contact a doctor if you get swelling, pain, warmth and redness in one leg after the massage. If you have chest pain or difficulty breathing, call 113.
