Fasialamppu

Fasialamppu is a lamp designed to illuminate the face during cosmetic, dermatological, or related procedures. It serves as an aid for practitioners to observe skin texture, coloration and precision when performing facials, treatments or makeup work. The term is used in Finnish contexts to denote specialized lighting equipment used in professional facial work.

Most fasialamppu models are portable or wall-mounted and provide bright, high-visibility lighting. They are commonly LED-based, offering adjustable brightness and color temperature to suit different tasks. Some lamps include a built-in magnifying lens or a glare-minimizing shade to improve detail and comfort during use.

Typical uses include facial treatments in beauty salons and clinics, skincare assessment and procedures, and support for professional makeup application. In broader medical or dental settings a similar device may be used for facial visualization, but the term fasialamppu is primarily associated with esthetic contexts.

Safety and care considerations include maintaining an appropriate distance from the skin to avoid overheating, particularly with non-LED models. Regular cleaning of the lens or light surface helps preserve color accuracy, and electrical safety checks should be performed as part of routine equipment maintenance. Proper storage protects the lamp from damage and dust.

Etymology and history: the concept emerged to improve consistency and quality of facial illumination in professional services. With the adoption of LED technology, fasialamplut have become more energy-efficient, cooler to the touch, and available in a range of designs suitable for clinics, salons, and studios. Related terms include examination lamp and dermatology lamp.
