A Complete Guide To a High-Frequency Skin Treatment

Acne, hyperpigmentation, large pores, fine lines, and wrinkles are common skin issues that most of us have to deal with at some point in our lives.  These skin concerns might even cause a lack of self-confidence in some individuals. 

Moreover, topical skin care products can take years to produce desirable effects (if any). So, if you’re looking for a quick, effective, and non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedure, our high-frequency facial can be a great option for you. 

Read on to find out more about it. 

What Is A High-Frequency Facial?

A high-frequency skin treatment is a skin rejuvenating procedure that uses a high-frequency electrode to generate electrical light energy and enriched oxygen molecules that kill acne-causing bacteria, which significantly improves the appearance of the skin. 

Moreover, the electrical energy heats the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, initiate cell renewal, and improve blood flow for an overall youthful glow.

Benefits Of A High-Frequency Facial Treatment

  • Reduces inflammation and redness 
  • Makes your skin appear rosy and youthful
  • Helps prevent and lessen acne breakouts by reducing sebum (oil production) and killing the bacteria
  • Helps improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation
  • Reduces pore size
  • Boosts collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer skin
What To Expect During The Treatment

To start off, the skin is gently cleansed to remove any dirt or debris. Your provider might choose to apply a serum on your skin and place gauze to cover the area of concern before the actual procedure. 

The procedure involves the use of a glass electrode that looks like a bubble. During the treatment, this electrode releases a small current to produce enriched oxygen within the skin that helps kill acne-causing bacteria and soothe inflammation.

The procedure is virtually painless, however, you might feel a tingling sensation as the electrode is moved around the surface of your skin. 

The entire facial can be completed in less than an hour depending on the severity of the skin problems being treated. The results can take about 12 to 24 hours to fully kick in. 

Proper Aftercare 

A high-frequency treatment does not require any downtime or complicated aftercare. However, you maximize the benefits of this procedure and reduce the risk of side effects by taking certain precautions:

  • Avoid direct sun exposure as your skin will be extra sensitive after the treatment. 
  • If sun exposure is unavoidable, don’t forget to apply sunscreen with at least SPF50 as a part of your daily skincare routine. 
  • Avoid rubbing, touching, or picking on your skin.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or other skin resurfacing treatments post-treatment. Instead, you can opt for mild moisturizers. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30.

So, if you’ve tried to get rid of stubborn acne, acne scars, puffy eyes, and wrinkles without seeing any significant results, a high-frequency skin treatment might be just the right option for you – especially if you’re looking to achieve skin that looks and feels smoother, firmer, and softer in no time.
