Steamers/All in one machine suggestions?

Hello All!

I currently have a 7 in 1 machine (Lamp--the base broke within a year of use!; Steamer--a little fire started in this twice!, lucky to have handy husband!), Hi Freq, Galvanic, Brush, Suction, Woods Lamp) that I haven't been very happy with (D-pollo DP1714). I'm expanding my business and looking for suggestions on what equipment other Aesthetitians have been happy with? The most important features for me are 1. Steamer, 2. Hi Frequency and 3. Galvanic I replaced my Loupe with a standalone product from Equipro and have been very happy with it's longevity, base and adjustments....

Also, I love having an electric lift bed (have the Oakworks Celesta Lift with end that tilts for facials, pregnancy, etc....with all features (including casters for moving easily..it's very heavy) about $3100 ), but would love suggestions on lift tables that you all have been satisfied with! Hopefully more affordable?

Would love any feedback you all have to give! Many thanks!

Jennifer

I also have an all in one "Cirrus System" set by Silhouet-Tone (Cirrus System), which I've never had any problems with. I bought it about 5 years ago from SpaEquip and it's still working and nothing has broke. I love it because It has all the compartments for the handles and the electrodes for the galvanic, high frequency and brushes. It's a very nice looking set also, very aesthetic and modern looking. My steamer and Mag light are perfect I think the mag light was seperate anyway but it attaches to the main unit. It even has a large and small ring holder for two stainless steel bowls.

My facial table is called the "Cloud 9" spa treatment table by Living Earth Crafts (Cloud 9 white) and I have a heating pad on it also, My clients love it. I bought that from the same company also. It is also electric. I bought it with the extension though to make it longer because it can double as a pedicure chair if you sit it up all the way and without the extension it is the length of a pedicure chair. It costs about $5000.00 but it is soooo comfortable.

Hi Stacy!

I really appreciate your feedback, your setup sounds fantastic! I'm looking to expand to three rooms and that is a significant investment...but you do get what you pay for. :) Would love to hear from any others who are happy (or unhappy!) with their equipment. Thanks again.

Have you ever considered dropping the whole concept of a "steamer" and moving to "Cold Hydration".

Cold Hydration offers many advantages:

It is much gentler and especially more suitable for sensitive skin and for skin affected by acne, seborrhea and couperose conditions.
Cold hydration is a much more pleasant for the client and much easier to control for the professional.
The medium - actually a gel - may be cold (or very lightly warmed) and may be enriched with other soothing, purifying components - or those that accelerate "healing".
It can be placed all over the required areas and then removed part by part, to expose a new area that is "ready" for extraction!
No investment in equipment is necessary.
