Skin Care Equipment Continued
Ultrasound - The gentle pulsations of ultrasound penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, increasing circulation and reducing the severity of acne and other skin conditions.
Facial Steamer - Yes, you can hold your face over a pot of boiling water at home, but professional spas employ these facial steamers to provide a long-lasting flow of steam at a precise temperature. These steamers also allow skin care technicians to add certain aromatherpeutic oils to the steam.
Sterilizer - Resembling a microwave oven, a professional sterilizer is an essential piece of equipment for any skin care salon. They can sterilize tools as well as heat up and store moist hot towels until they're ready to be used.
There are other types of skin care equipment that fall more into the range of supplies and tools, such as a kit of PH Insta-check Strips. The skin care clinician can use these strips to precisely measure the acidity or alkalinity of a client's skin by comparing the color of the strip to a color-keyed chart. An appropriate skin treatment regimen can then be designed based on the results.
