In an apparatus which produces and delivers water vapor upon the skin of an animate subject for dermatological purposes, circuitry monitors the fluid level of a heated container and disables the heating element thereof. When the water level drops, resistance in a temperature sensitive device drops disabling voltage to the heating element via the control circuitry. The control circuit cuts off power to the heating element and is capable of producing a warning signal. Also provided in combination therewith are a vapor ionizer and means utilizing capacitive discharge technology for stepping up voltage to a vapor ionizing electrode coil member.
