High frequency is a safe, painless skin treatment option, designed to oxygenate and increase blood circulation to the face for improved skincare product absorption.
Oxygen molecules provide an osmotic treatment which is helpful in shrinking pores, controlling excess sebum production and diminishing fine lines and puffy eyes. Furthermore, hydrofacial treatment has shown to have an antimicrobial effect against both P. acnes in vitro as well as skin flora in general.
What is High Frequency Skin Therapy?
High frequency is an effective and safe treatment that is used to rejuvenate skin, including fine lines and sagging skin. By stimulating cell renewal and increasing product penetration, high frequency helps rejuvenate the complexion by encouraging cell renewal as well as warming the skin for increased product penetration. Furthermore, high frequency can also help to reduce fine lines and sagging skin as well as improving acne scar appearance while aiding collagen and elastin production which in turn results in firmer, smoother and younger-looking skin.
High frequency facial treatments produce oxygen molecules which increase skin’s natural cleansing and antibacterial abilities, as well as thermal tissue warming that leads to increased circulation and the production of collagen and elastin. High frequency is particularly helpful for clients suffering mild-moderate acne scarring; additionally it aids detoxification by helping disperse blood toxins more easily.
High-frequency facials can be performed on the face, neck and scalp and are highly effective at reducing fine lines and wrinkles, decongesting puffy eyes and helping hydrate dry and dehydrated skin as well as improving beard hair texture and encouraging healthier scalp and beard growth.
At a high-frequency facial, a glass electrode is placed against the skin. As mild electrical current runs through it, producing a subtle glow and buzzing sound from its inert gas fill (argon or neon). Depending on which inert gas fill it contains (violet or orange-hued glow can result from this process.
Skin feels instantly revitalized, rosy and firm after treatment with high frequency current. The deep penetrating germicidal action of high frequency current is highly effective for treating existing acne, enlarged pores, helping heal damaged skin caused by burns, waxing procedures, cold sores or sun exposure as well as treating fine lines, sagging skin or puffy eyes.
High-frequency devices may be purchased for personal use at home, however it is best to leave this treatment to trained spa professionals. A licensed esthetician will have experience dealing with skin conditions like rosacea, psoriasis or eczema which could worsen under high frequency treatments and will know more about how best to utilize the treatment on different skin types.
How Does High Frequency Skin Therapy Work?
High frequency skin treatments use electrical light energy and oxygen molecules directly applied to your skin in order to fight acne-causing bacteria, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, reduce dark circles/puffy eyes/pinchy eye bags/enlarged pores as well as stimulate collagen and elastin production – while also providing essential hydration benefits and product penetration enhancements.
Your high-frequency facial utilizes low-level electricity transferred via an easy-to-hold wand with bulb-shaped tips. While you may experience some mild tingling sensation during the procedure, this should not be painful or bothersome in any way. If it becomes uncomfortable during treatment, please notify your provider so she can adjust settings as soon as possible.
Different electrodes can be utilized for treating different skin conditions and concerns. For instance, treating active acne breakouts requires using an argon gas electrode with its sparking effect to kill bacteria and reduce swelling. Furthermore, oily skin often benefits from this form of treatment by decongesting pores and absorbing excess oils; while dry skin can take advantage of an orange electrode which directs warmth to its surface area while stimulating nerve endings.
Once completed, your skin will feel smoother and hydrated after just one session. Some clients even find their acne scars become less visible, while others experience reduced fine lines and wrinkles.
Start off by having your skincare professional gently cleanse and apply serum to the skin, followed by placing a glass electrode that looks like a bubble over it for creating the electric current, then moving this electrode over different areas of the face for treatment.
After your treatment is completed, a skincare professional will recommend an appropriate skincare regimen that can help to both maintain and enhance results.

What Are the Benefits of High Frequency Skin Therapy?
High frequency current’s gentle oscillating and oxygenating action stimulates cell renewal, increases blood flow to the skin and promotes product absorption more effectively than traditional methods. It has proven effective at reducing acne scars as well as fine lines and wrinkles as well as puffy eyes – an invaluable enhancement for Daybreak facials or your regular facial maintenance routine!
Your high-frequency wand used during your treatment consists of glass electrodes filled with either argon gas (which produces violet/blue rays) or neon gas (orange/red rays), producing different frequencies to generate antibacterial effects on skin, induce ozone formation on its surface and promote germicidal properties, including killing bacteria, increasing circulation and encouraging new cell growth. These properties help facilitate treatment.
As electrodes are applied to your skin, your temperature increases as cells start producing collagen and elastin which leads to firmer skin, less fine lines and wrinkles, sun spots from sun damage or acne scarring reduced and an ozone created by high frequency wand can eliminate bacteria responsible for acne while helping reduce its size as well as help shrink pores.
High-frequency treatments are an ideal option for people with sensitive skin, as they are pain free and non-invasive. Furthermore, they can serve as an ideal pretreatment prior to more invasive procedures like chemical peels or lasers by opening pores for greater penetration of treatment products.
High-frequency treatments offer immediate results for some clients; however, for optimal benefits to be realized they require multiple sessions over time. It may cause drying effects so we recommend using a quality moisturizer post-treatment. We also suggest avoiding direct sunlight following treatments (particularly after receiving a HIFU Facial). Please discuss any concerns with us so we can offer you our highest level of service.
What Are the Side Effects of High Frequency Skin Therapy?
High frequency skin rejuvenation treatments are painless and non-invasive. Our aesthetician will sanitize a glass electrode wand before gently moving it over your skin to emit mild electrical current that promotes natural healing processes in your body. You may feel a slight tingling sensation during this treatment session; after which clients sometimes report mild swelling or redness which typically dissipates within days.
High-frequency electric currents employing gentle oscillating and oxygenating action can improve blood circulation, promote cell renewal, boost collagen and elastin production, eliminate toxins, improve skincare product absorption and even help kill acne-causing bacteria while reducing fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, enlarged pores, oily skin and blackheads.
Although some clients experience results immediately, others require multiple treatments in order to address stubborn acne, large pores or wrinkles. We suggest scheduling regular sessions 3-4 weeks apart in order to reap all the benefits from this treatment.
Although high-frequency treatment is generally safe, it may not be appropriate for individuals with very dry or sensitive skin as high-frequency can overdry it. Furthermore, after recently having undergone skin resurfacing treatments such as chemical peels or laser procedures high frequency may prove too harsh on your complexion – please discuss any concerns with your Daybreak therapist as they will likely suggest alternative solutions tailored specifically to you.
