High Frequency
High Frequency is a non-invasive treatment that uses electrical stimulation for skin rejuvenation. It is one of those essential treatments that is used to treat a wide variety of skin conditions and can be added to any facial service.
The main benefits are that it helps product absorption, increases circulation, reduces inflammation, oxygenates the skin, kills bacteria, and supports collagen and elastin production.
How does it work?
High Frequency is also known as the Tesla high-frequency current, and it was initially used as a medical treatment due to its healing capabilities.
Essentially, the gentle oscillating high-frequency electrical current passes through a neon or argon gas-filled glass electrode. This electrode is strategically worked over the skin by a trained professional.
Who Benefits from High Frequency?
In short, everyone! High Frequency is contraindicated for conditions where broken capillaries are present (such as Rosacea), pregnancy, or if you have a pacemaker. Some instances in which high frequency may be used:
For those suffering from acne, High Frequency kills acne bacteria because it oxygenates the skin, stimulates circulation, and contracts blood vessels minimizing red inflamed skin.
For those suffering from puffy or dark under eyes, high frequency increases circulation which promotes drainage and tightening of the area.
