Elegant Skincare: How High Frequency Can Transform Your Beauty Routine
Share
Looking for a treatment that works on more than one concern at a time? High frequency is one of the most useful tools in my treatment room, and it is a long-standing favorite among estheticians for exactly that reason.
What is a High Frequency Facial?
A high frequency facial uses a high frequency wand to deliver a gentle electrical current to the skin. It is used to stimulate circulation and support cell renewal, and it is most often added on to a facial rather than booked on its own.
How Can it Help Your Skin?
High frequency is most commonly used on congested and breakout-prone skin, where the current has an antibacterial effect on the surface. It is also used to help skin look temporarily firmer and less puffy, and to support the appearance of texture and tone over a course of treatments. What it will not do is permanently change your pore size, and I would rather tell you that upfront than sell you something else.
What to Expect During the Treatment
I cleanse your skin first, then apply a conductive gel before working the wand across the area. You may feel a slight tingling and hear a faint buzz. Sensation is personal, so tell me if anything feels uncomfortable and I will adjust.
Who It Suits
It is not for everyone. High frequency is not suitable if you are pregnant, if you have a pacemaker or another implanted electrical device, or if you have epilepsy. Tell me about anything like that when you book so I can plan a different route.
If you are dealing with congestion, a high frequency add-on alongside a deep cleansing facial or a chemical peel is where I would start. Book a skin care consultation if you want me to look first.
