Materials:

The materials used in beauty instrument accessories vary considerably depending on the specific item and its purpose. Common materials include:

• Silicone: Frequently used for conductive pads, massage heads, and hygienic covers due to its non-porous, easy-to-clean nature and biocompatibility.
• Stainless Steel: Found in facial rollers, scraping tools, and certain massage heads, prized for its durability and resistance to corrosion.
• Plastic (ABS, PP, etc.): Used for device stands, protective covers, and component housings. Quality varies significantly.
• Metal Alloys (Aluminum, Titanium): Employed in higher-end devices and accessories for strength and lightweight properties.
• Conductive Fabrics: Used in EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) masks and garments for effective current transmission.
• Sponge/Cotton: Used in cleansing brush heads and applicators for gentle exfoliation and product application.

Purpose & Function:

The primary purposes of these accessories are to:

• Enhance Functionality: Expand the capabilities of the base instrument (e.g., different brush heads for varying skin concerns).
