Abstract
Abstract The invention is concerned with an apparatus for generating steam and ozone, i.e. ozonized steam in a controllable quantity for the treatment of both skin and hair, wherein the steam generating boiler communicates at least by means of a nozzle with a mixing ozoning chamber wherein an ozone generating lamp is positioned. In addition the steam and ozone generation, the apparatus is provided with means for generating a cold and hot air flow, to be connected and controlled independently from the steam and ozone generation. The above apparatus is used in combination with a hair-dryer to be used for hair treatments, in the inside thereof means are provided for supplying and spreading in a suitable manner, the steam and ozone mixture generated by the above mentioned apparatus.
