Silhouet Tone Vacuum & Spray Machine Techniques & Purpose
|
| The Spray machine helps achieve a thorough cleansing of the skins surface. It is cool, soothing and has a |
| pleasant fragrance. It is used to flush out the pores, especially after suction and extraction of blackheads or |
| pimples. The spray rinses the skin and also helps restore the skins acid mantle. |

| To Fill Your Spray Bottles mix two parts distilled water and one part astringent or skin lotion. The containers |
| are filled about 2/3rds. Normally two bottles will be filled one with astringent for normal or oily skin and one |
| with mild skin lotion for mature, dry and sensitive skin. |

| Action Of The Spray; The spray stimulates nerve endings and activates cell metabolism. It can be used on |
| broken capillaries as the spray creates an excellent light massage that exercises and strengthens the capillary |
| walls by causing them to expand and contract. (Place a towel over the clients shoulders while spraying to |
| prevent moisture from dripping down the neck.) The client can be handed a face bowl or a tissue can be |
| placed across the chest to protect the clients body from the spray. |
| The spray is also used as A)-The second step to cleansing. B)- Cleansing after suction and squeezing of |
|
blackheads and pimples. C)- and after the mask is removed.

The Vacuum Or Suction Machine
|
| The suction machine has three glass suction cups; A)- Comedone Extractor (blackheads) B)- Sebum |
|
Extractor C)- Massager
|
| The suction machine is helpful in the deep pore cleansing of the skin. It acts like a miniature vacuum cleaner, |
| to suction out dirt, grease and other impurities. It also gives a deep penetrating massage and draws blood to |
| the surface of the skin. |
| The suction machine maybe used on all skin types except in areas that are heavily couperosed (Broken |
| Capillaries) On an oily skin the suction is always performed after Desincrustation and/or Dr. Jacquet |
| movement. |
| The main function of the machine is to draw impurities and debris from the pores and follicles, but may be |
| strong enough to dislodge blackheads. Therefore following the vacuum step, blackheads and grease |
| deposits will be more easily extracted with manual pressure. |
|
|
| When treating Acne skin, the suction cup does not slide over the skin as it does on unblemished skin. |
| Instead a spot suction can be applied directly over a blemish. The glass suction cups have a hole that the |
| finger is placed over when the machine is in operation. When the finger is released the suction is broken. A |
| thin film of cleansing lotion is placed on the skin during the treatment. This helps to prevent pulling of the |
| skin. |
| When the skin is thin, dry or aging, a light suction is used. A stronger suction is used on an oily skin. The |
| suction treatment is not recommended for Rosacea skin as suction tends to cause the area to become |
| inflamed. |
| Suction Cup Sizes; |
| A)- The larger cup is used to vacuum out the neck, jaw, cheeks and forehead. |
| B)- The smaller cup is used to vacuum the chin and area between the nose and lip, and the space between |
| the eyes and the sides of the nose. |
| Care of the machine; |
| After the treatment, the suction cup is removed, washed with soap and water and placed in a bowl of alcohol |
| or in a dry sterilizing cabinet until needed again. Some glass suction cups have an area where a small piece |
| of cotton can be placed as a filter to keep any type of material from going up into the suction of the machine. |
| It should be turned off immediately after use. |
| Following the suction treatment the face is wiped with a clean cotton pad or sponge that has been sprinkled |
| with a few drops of astringent. When the pad is removed you will often see pollution and stale make up |
| which has been drawn from the pores. This debris on the pad will show the client the value of the suction |
| treatment. |

Movement Of The Suction Machine
|
| A)-The suction starts at the center of the neck, moving outward. |
| B)- Suction is done under the chin, starting in the center and moving outward toward the ear. |
| C)- Suction is done on the cheeks, starting on the chin and moving outward toward the ear. |
| D)-Suction is done on the forehead, starting in the center, moving outward toward the temple. |
| E)- Change to a smaller suction cup and vacuum between the eyebrows. |
| F)- With the smaller suction cup, vacuum the nose. Support the nose with your free hand to avoid bending the nose. |
| G)-Continue with the smaller suction cup and vacuum the area between the nose and lips. Starting directly |
| under the nose, work outward to the corner of the mouth. |
