Detailed instructions for using the FSS facial sauna

The MEDISANA FSS facial sauna is designed solely for use as a facial beauty product.
A facial sauna is one of the most important appliances for facial beauty care.
Most beauty parlors use steam to invigorate the skin before facial treatment.
Using a facial sauna is the perfect preparation for your skin. The steam prepares your skin perfectly for deep cleansers, moisturizing and anti-aging creams, and other care products.
The steam opens your pores and increases the blood circulation in your skin, which means dirt can be removed more easily and the care products better absorbed.
The area in which the FSS facial sauna is to be effective can be restricted to the nose by using an attachment supplied separately.
The MEDISANA FSS facial sauna also allows you to use aromatic essences.
All this means that the facial sauna ideally complements your regular facial care because it can significantly increase the effectiveness of cosmetic products.
