A member asked:
When using a topical product like voltaren, would it be absorbed better it the skin was warmed slightly. seems like i have applied voltaren when my skin was warmer than normal and it seemed like it was absorbed more easily?

I think you have reached the right conclusion. Warming the skin induces dilatation of your capillaries and facilitates absorption. Does the Voltaren seem more effective when applied to the warm skin?
