Devices designed to apply hot steam to a patient\'s face. These devices typically consist of a cart-based, table-top, or handheld unit that incorporates a water reservoir, a steam generator, and a means of directing the generated steam toward the patient. Steam may be directed to the patient via a bendable and/or pivoting arm that can be used to position the steam vent near the patients face or via a mask-/shield-like structure into which the patient\'s face is placed. Some facial steamers also incorporate an ozone generator to allow the production of ozone gas.
