High Frequency treatments
What is a high frequency facial?
A high-frequency facial employs electrical currents to boost oxygen production in the skin, aiding in the treatment of acne and wrinkles. This technique involves the application of electric frequency to the skin through a specialized wand.
When a high-frequency machine is applied to the skin's surface, whether on the face or body, it emits a buzzing sound as electrical currents flow through. The glass electrode emits a subtle glow, appearing as a cool blue/violet or warm red/orange light.
The treatment stimulates the production of oxygen molecules, which in turn warms the skin tissue and promotes natural cleansing by acting as an antibacterial agent. This antibacterial effect makes high-frequency facials particularly beneficial for individuals with acne-prone skin. As toxins are expelled, the skin becomes enriched with hydration and nutrients, improving volume and texture.
Moreover, increased blood circulation enhances collagen and elastin production, contributing to improved skin tone and cell renewal.

How high-frequency facials help acne-prone skin
Individuals with acne-prone skin often contend with enlarged pores, excess oil, and blemishes such as blackheads and whiteheads. High-frequency facials offer a promising solution for improving skin condition. This treatment delivers antibacterial benefits and aids in repairing damage.
When addressing acne and its scars, professionals incorporate violet argon in small amounts during the treatment. Combining acne products with high-frequency facials can yield more effective results than using either approach alone.
High frequency and anti-aging
Cell renewal and enhanced blood flow contribute to the reduction and softening of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, pores diminish in size, leading to smoother and more youthful-looking skin, with improvements in texture and tone.
As we age, the effects of gravity become more apparent in the skin's appearance. High-frequency facials not only promote a healthier, younger-looking glow but also address aging concerns such as jowls and double chins by boosting collagen production.
Seeking the Best Results?
Achieving healthy-looking skin, much like staying fit, requires consistent effort rather than a single intense session. For optimal results, it's advised to undergo 3 to 6 sessions spaced a week apart, followed by monthly maintenance sessions.
To prolong the benefits of your high-frequency facial, refrain from applying makeup for at least 6 hours post-treatment, avoid harsh scrubs and abrasive products, steer clear of direct heat for a few days, and maintain hydration levels. These practices will help preserve the effects of your treatment over time.
Aftercare tips
Your skin will show signs of improvement in as little as two days post-high-frequency facial. However, there are a few ways you can get the most out of this treatment and prolong its effects.
Here are the best aftercare tips that will help you reap the optimum benefits of high-frequency facials:
Avoid Direct Sun Exposure
Direct sun exposure can prolong the mild redness that usually lasts a couple of hours post-high-frequency facial, thus exacerbating discomfort.
Therefore, try to stay away from the sun as much as possible, or opt for wearing protective clothing and accessories such as hats, masks, sunglasses, etc., if completely avoiding the sun isn’t an option.
Additionally, wearing sunscreen is always a must, but it’s especially important after getting any facial treatment, no matter how mild and non-invasive, as the skin can be particularly stimulated and sensitive, making it more prone to UV damage.
Avoid Using Exfoliating Products
Using exfoliating acids or scrubs post high-frequency facials can irritate the skin and exacerbate redness and discomfort.
Therefore, try to avoid using exfoliating products for at least 48 hours post-treatment to give your skin the time to heal and fully benefit from the facial.
Don’t Pick Your Skin
Pimples might appear dry and scabby post-high-frequency facials, but trying to pop them is definitely not a good idea, as you will still cause the skin to rupture and potentially cause the bacteria from under your nails or the environment to enter the skin and cause inflammation, irritations, and infections that will further aggravate your condition.
Use Ice to Soothe Redness
Mild redness that lasts for a few hours after a high-frequency facial is normal, and while most people can tolerate it, using ice to soothe it isn’t a bad idea and can be a quick fix if you have an event that you have to be ready for but don’t want redness to compromise your look.
Ice causes the blood vessels under the skin to constrict, which can help reduce redness, swelling, and discomfort; however, make sure to wrap the ice in a clean cloth before applying it to your skin, as the cold can stick to the warm surface and cause frostbite.
Apply a Nourishing Moisturizer
Applying a nourishing moisturizer that contains hydrating components such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin and barrier-repairing ceramides can be excellent aftercare for a high-frequency facial that will strengthen the skin barrier and boost the effects of the treatment.
Following your treatment, you can expect noticeable enhancements, varying depending on the treated area. Acne scars become less prominent, while age spots and fine lines diminish. Many clients experience softer, tighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
It's important to note that high frequency may cause dryness, particularly in colder months. To address this, we recommend reducing treatment frequency to once every 4-5 days and using a quality moisturizer afterward.
Results can manifest differently for each individual. While some may notice improvements after one session, such as enhanced skin tone or acne reduction, others may require multiple treatments for full benefits. Consistency is key, as results accumulate over time, influenced by individual skin type and concerns. Additionally, high frequency can enhance the effectiveness of your skincare products by promoting deeper absorption into the dermis.
