What electrical facial equipment is used to soften comedones for extraction?

The steamer is a crucial piece of electrical facial equipment utilized to soften comedones, which are clogged hair follicles in the skin. By producing a fine mist of warm steam, the steamer helps to open up the pores and soften the debris within, making the extraction process easier and less traumatic for the skin.

This warming and hydrating action of the steam effectively loosens the hardened oil and dead skin cells, facilitating their removal during extraction. Additionally, steam has a soothing effect which can be beneficial in promoting relaxation for the client.

In contrast, while the galvanic machine uses electrical current to enhance product penetration and the vacuum device serves to extract impurities and stimulate circulation, neither of these options directly contributes to softening comedones for extraction like the steamer does. Similarly, a microdermabrasion system primarily exfoliates the skin's surface and does not specifically target the softening of comedones. Thus, the steamer stands out as the most effective tool for this purpose in a facial treatment setting.
