Key Takeaways

Understanding Facial Steam

Understand when steaming can enhance a service, as well as when less steam, or no steam at all, may be the better professional choice.

Client Assessment, Contraindications & Customization

Learn how to evaluate the skin before steaming, recognize conditions that may require modification or avoidance, and continually monitor the client’s response during treatment. Develop the judgment needed to determine when to proceed, shorten the steaming time, increase distance, modify the service, or avoid steam altogether.

Ozone & Aromatherapy Features

Understand how to appropriately incorporate available steamer features, including ozone and aromatherapy, into professional facial services. Learn what each feature is designed to do, how it is activated and used, and the precautions that should be considered before incorporating it into a treatment.
