Professional facial steamers like the Aira facial steamer and the Dermalactives nano ionic facial steamer are essential tools in the treatment room, widely appreciated for their myriad benefits. This guide aims to provide valuable tips on how to clean your facial steamer, maximize its advantages, and ensure its longevity. Whether you’ve purchased a Panasonic facial steamer or a mini facial steamer, retaining the original packaging is advised until you’ve verified its functionality.

Water Filling and Sensing:

To start, properly fill the steamer with distilled water. Distilled water, free from harsh minerals, is recommended to prevent sensor recognition issues. If some brands of distilled water aren’t recognized, try an alternative brand. Regular tap water can also be used. If the steamer doesn’t sense the water, please contact us for troubleshooting. Consistent sensor functionality is vital for optimal performance.

Using Herbs and Essential Oils:

Enhance treatments by adding herbs or essential oils. Always consult your clients before introducing these elements. For steamers with an herbs basket, place herbs in a tea bag and insert it. For essential oils, apply a few drops onto a cotton ball within the herbs basket. Ensure the cotton is changed regularly to maintain efficacy. Some steamers have a concealed cotton piece for essential oils. Apply the oils and replace the cotton as needed.

Boiling the Water:

Before treatment, bring the water to a boil. Manual timer steamers require turning the timer past zero, while digital steamers require setting the timer and energy level to the highest setting. This accelerates boiling and ensures efficient steam production. Manual steamers emit a ticking sound during treatment, while digital ones are silent, emitting a beep when the timer reaches zero. Remember, digital steamers allow adjustable steam intensity.

Ozone Utilization:

Using the ozone button enhances steam visibility and oxygenation. Keep the nozzle at least 12 inches away from the client’s skin to avoid discomfort or burns. Adjust steam temperature according to the client’s preference. Ensure the nozzle doesn’t obstruct the client’s breathing for a comfortable experience.

Treatment Duration:

Limit each steaming session to 10 minutes to prevent skin irritation. Prolonged exposure can be harmful. If you need to add water during treatment, allow the unit to cool for a few minutes before opening to avoid burns. Additionally, never add cold water to a hot beaker, as it may damage it.

Maintenance:

Regular maintenance ensures the steamer’s longevity. After each treatment, turn off the steamer and allow it to cool for 15 minutes. Clean the beaker and gasket with mild detergent and tap water, being careful not to damage the gasket. Leave the beaker to dry overnight along with the internal components. Reattach the beaker, ensuring it’s flush, and use the steamer with the rubber gasket in place.

Monthly Cleaning:

For optimal performance, clean the steamer once a month. Use a mixture of 1 part white vinegar and 3 parts distilled water. Allow the steamer to run with this mixture for at least five minutes, then flush it with distilled water. This monthly cleaning regimen maintains the steamer’s pristine condition.

Conclusion:

By following these guidelines, you can maximize the benefits of your professional facial steamer. Proper usage and maintenance contribute to its longevity, ensuring years of effective and enjoyable treatments. Thank you for taking the time to learn about our steamers, and we hope you have many successful sessions ahead.
