High frequency is also known as Tesla’s high frequency current and has been around since the 1800s! This age-old yet timeless technology is a real gem in the treatment room to address acne by killing bacteria and reducing inflammation, improve fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating circulation and activating collagen and elastin production as well as boosting the performance of skincare products with better product penetration.
The glass electrodes are filled with either argon or neon gas and emit an electrical current - traditionally argon gas is for acne, and neon gas is for anti-aging; however, when choosing which gas electrode to use it is more of preference because both gases can address a wide range of skin concerns equally.
How it works: High frequency current promotes circulation through tissue warming by naturally contracting underlying blood vessels and tiny muscle groups.
Treatment protocol: no more than 5-10 minutes a day. 1-3 times a week or as needed.
