MWax Hotspot is a concentrated, revitalising massage wax, formulated using naturally derived heat-activating ingredients to restore mobility and relieve muscle soreness and aches. Hotspot evolved as clinicians found the growing need for a heat activating product that was free of the harsh chemicals and harmful toxins included in many of the big pharmacy brands. We designed Hotspot specifically to treat clients that experience neuralgia, arthritis or persistent pain in localised areas.
INGREDIENTS MATTER
The active ingredient in Hotspot is capsaicin, a capsaicinoid extracted from red chillies. Essentially, capsaicin acts like a neurotoxin on the body. When applied to the skin, it will activate a strong heat sensation, activating a neural response that reduces substance P. Essentially, this reaction disrupts the pain receptor pathways between the central nervous system and the brain, effectively reducing pain signals to the area of discomfort. Clever, right?
Primary ingredient benefits:
-

Wild Mint: Soothes muscular aches
More on Capsaicin: Through Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) activation, capsaicin has been shown to improve cognition. To this end, TRPV1 activation induced by capsaicin can lead to a reduction in oxidative stress, which directly impacts muscle and pain. Despite its targeted chemical properties, capsaicin can also improve general health and wellbeing. It is known to reduce low-grade systemic inflammation, which is associated with both cerebrovascular function and cognition, and improve symptoms of headache, brain fog and fatigue.
