DEEP HEAT MAX STRENGTH 35G

What Is Deep Heat Max Strength Used For?

Deep Heat Max Strength is mainly used to relieve muscular and joint pain. This includes back pain, sprains, strains, arthritis-related aches, and muscle tension caused by overuse or physical activity. It’s commonly used by athletes, gym-goers, and people with active lifestyles who suffer from minor injuries, soreness, or stiffness. It is also helpful for older adults experiencing arthritis or joint pain.

Active Ingredients and Their Purpose

Deep Heat Max Strength contains the following active ingredients:

Methyl Salicylate (30% w/w): Works as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain reliever). It helps reduce inflammation in muscles and joints.
Menthol (8% w/w): Creates a cooling sensation that turns into a comforting warmth. Menthol also helps to increase blood flow to the affected area, which helps the healing process.

These ingredients work together to relieve pain by increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and creating a heating sensation that relaxes tight muscles and soothes aches.

How Deep Heat Max Strength Works

Deep Heat Max Strength works through a process known as counter-irritation. When you apply it to your skin, the menthol gives a cool feeling, followed by warmth from the methyl salicylate. This sensation distracts your brain from the pain signals being sent from the affected area. At the same time, it boosts circulation to help your body heal faster.

Unlike oral painkillers that travel through your digestive system, Deep Heat Max is applied directly to the area of pain, making it more targeted and fast-acting.

How to Use Deep Heat Max Strength

Using Deep Heat Max Strength is easy:

Squeeze a small amount (roughly a pea-sized blob) onto your fingertips.
Gently massage Deep Heat Max Strength into the painful or stiff area until fully absorbed.
You can apply it 2–3 times a day if needed. Always leave several hours between applications.
Wash your hands thoroughly after use, and avoid touching your eyes, mouth, or broken skin after applying the cream.
Do not use it under tight bandages, on damaged skin, or with heating pads.

How Fast Does It Work?

Deep Heat Max Strength starts working almost immediately. You will usually feel the warming effect within a few minutes of application. Pain relief often begins within 15 to 30 minutes, making it a go-to choice for people who need quick results.

Possible Side Effects

Deep Heat Max Strength is generally safe when used as directed, but some people may experience side effects, including:

Skin redness or irritation at the application site
Burning or tingling sensation (mild and temporary)
Allergic reactions like rash or itching (rare)

If you experience severe irritation, stop using the cream and consult your doctor. Never apply to broken or sensitive skin.

Is Deep Heat safe for teenagers?

Yes, Deep Heat Max Strength can be used by teenagers over the age of 12, but it should be used with adult supervision.

Is it safe during pregnancy?

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a doctor before using Deep Heat Max Strength, as some ingredients may not be suitable.

Can I use this cream with other painkillers?

You can usually use Deep Heat alongside oral painkillers like paracetamol or ibuprofen, but check with a healthcare professional first, especially if you’re taking other medications.
