Tap water or distilled water is heated and the resulting water vapor is led past a quartz lamp . There, under the influence of UV light , the divalent oxygen is converted into trivalent ozone in a low concentration. This three-way bond of oxygen is very unstable and quickly disintegrates after it emerges from the nozzle.

The device is used in cosmetic studios during a classic facial treatment after cleansing. The water vapor opens the skin pores and impurities can be removed more easily. A steamer can also be used during an enzyme peel or to keep a face mask moist.

In telangiectasia , inflamed skin, rosacea , fresh scars , herpes simplex , sunburn , lymphatic congestion, cortisone-stressed skin, allergies and broken skin the Bedampfungsgerät should not be applied.

The steam device belongs to the cosmetic equipment, as well as the brush grinder , the iontophoresis device and the ozone hand-held device .
