Are facial steamers and atomizers the same? Can an atomizer be used as a facial steamer?

The advent of nebulizers has brought good news to patients with respiratory diseases. Some people may ask, since it is a nebulizer, can it be used for multiple purposes, replacing the medicine with water, and using the medical nebulizer as a facial steamer? Is a facial steamer the same as a nebulizer?

Are facial steamers and atomizers the same?

no the same. The two principles and uses are different. Facial steamers are used for beauty purposes. They evaporate the water in the container into steam through high-temperature heating, which opens the pores, speeds up blood circulation, and removes dirt. Nebulizers are divided into household and medical types. The principle is to use ultrasonic directional pressure to make the liquid surface bulge, and cavitation occurs around the bulged liquid surface, so that the liquid is atomized into small molecular mist.

What is the difference between medical nebulizers and household nebulizers?

Nebulizers can be divided into household and medical types. The working principle is to use ultrasonic directional pressure to make the liquid surface bulge, and cavitation occurs around the bulged liquid surface, so that the liquid is atomized into small molecular aerosol. The working principle is the same. The difference lies in usage. Medical nebulizers are mainly used to treat various upper and lower respiratory system diseases, such as colds, fever, cough, asthma, sore throat, pharyngitis, rhinitis, bronchitis, pneumoconiosis and other diseases occurring in the trachea, bronchi, alveoli and chest cavity. Household atomizers are mainly used for indoor humidification or fragrance, and have the effect of maintaining appropriate air humidity, which is more like an indoor humidifier.

Can an atomizer be used as a facial steamer?

A facial steamer is a relatively advanced professional home hydrating beauty instrument. The basic principle is to use scientific and technological means to convert water into nano-scale, high-temperature mist particles to open and unclog the pores, help the skin detoxify, speed up blood circulation, remove dirt, reduce dark spots and wrinkles, and make the face rosy, delicate, white, smooth, healthy and plump.

A facial steamer requires a certain high temperature when used to steam your face, but a medical nebulizer does not have this function. Therefore, it is meaningless to use a medical nebulizer to steam your face. If you want to steam your face, you can buy a special facial steamer to achieve the best effect. Similarly, a facial steamer cannot be used as a medical nebulizer. Not only will it fail to have a therapeutic effect, it may also aggravate the condition.

Uses of medical nebulizers

Medical nebulizers are mainly used to treat various upper and lower respiratory system diseases, such as colds, fever, cough, asthma, sore throat, pharyngitis, rhinitis, bronchitis, pneumoconiosis and other diseases occurring in the trachea, bronchi, alveoli and chest cavity. Nebulizer inhalation therapy is an important and effective treatment method for respiratory diseases. It uses a nebulizer inhaler to atomize the drug solution into tiny particles. The drugs enter the respiratory tract and lungs through inhalation, thus achieving the purpose of painless, rapid and effective treatment.
