LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive and painless treatment to improve skin texture and tone. Studies demonstrate its benefits of reduced inflammation, collagen production and healing for better overall results.
Make sure that the device provides multiple settings so you can tailor treatments specifically to your skin needs. Blue light targets surface acne and kills bacteria while red light reduces inflammation for healthier, clearer skin.
What is High Frequency Therapy?
High frequency is an electrical current used to stimulate cell activity and enhance collagen and elastin production, as well as eliminating bacteria, shrink pores and promote skin detoxification. The treatment is noninvasive, painless and effective – commonly used to address acne, dark circles/puffiness/hyperpigmentation as well as tightening/improving skin elasticity.
An aesthetician will use a sanitized glass electrode to touch the face during a high frequency facial treatment, and emit electrical current that causes a slight tingling sensation. After which, they move the device around in circular motions for one or two minutes – it may also be used on neck and shoulders for better results – for around 20 minutes each session. Different attachments exist for specific treatments: mushroom attachment for treating larger areas, spot attachment to target individual breakouts or even Y-shaped attachment for targeting neck contours as well. Some even come equipped with comb attachments which stimulate hair stimulation or treat conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff!
Estheticians and dermatologists alike praise this powerful device for its ability to quickly and effectively fade acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation and redness, boost collagen and elastin, as well as diminish fine lines and wrinkles.
The wand is powered by either argon or neon gas electrodes that increase oxygen to the skin, providing immediate results when used against pimples: when they’re hit by it, oxygen suffocates bacteria causing it to die, according to licensed esthetician Natasha Glasgow. Furthermore, its heat promotes cell turnover and encourages collagen production for increased results.
The Wand is safe for most people but should be avoided by those with certain medical conditions, including heart conditions, diabetes or metal implants. Pregnant women or those who have had skin cancer should also not use the treatment, nor those suffering from epilepsy as it could trigger seizures; additionally avoid placing it near eyes or mucous membranes for maximum effectiveness.
How Does High Frequency Therapy Work?
High frequency therapy works by stimulating blood flow to the skin cells and producing collagen production for increased cell renewal and to decrease pore size, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, reduce redness, kill acne bacteria, decrease the appearance of blemishes under eyes, as well as diminish hyperpigmentation that’s often caused by acne or sun damage. High frequency can also help with hyperpigmentation that arises as a result of these treatments.
High frequency can help break up melanin pigment in the skin and decrease discoloration and uneven tone, while electrical currents produced by the wand increase circulation and detoxify it, shrinking pores, improving absorption of skincare products and creating an ageless complexion.
How to use a high frequency wand
High frequency treatments can be applied directly or indirectly on the face and come in various shapes and sizes. Wands designed to fit comfortably against the skin should be moved around in circular motions while treating all parts of your face for best results. Before using the device it is advised that you cleanse and remove makeup/other skincare products to prevent any irritations that could occur from using it directly on skin or indirectly with facial tissues.
Most high-frequency devices contain electrodes made of argon or neon gas that emit different wavelengths of light to address specific skincare concerns. The argon electrode emits purplish blue light that specifically targets acne while killing bacteria on its surface; while neon emits orange-red light that helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles. A method called sparking allows users to target individual blemishes directly with high frequency; however, it should only be done once daily in order to avoid overstimulating pigment cells and potentially leading to discoloration of skin discoloration or discoloration of skin discoloration of skin discoloration of unwanted pigment cells causing skin discoloration of discoloration of skin discoloration or skin discoloration of any kind.
LED Light Therapy works similarly to high-frequency in that it uses light stimulation to stimulate skin cell turnover, but is much gentler on sensitive or reactive skin types. Furthermore, it’s noninvasive and suitable for all skin types from sensitive or reactive through normal and sensitive. Light colors can be customized between red, blue and yellow to treat various concerns including puffiness, inflammation and acne; but LED therapy results are more gradual than high frequency solutions.
What Are the Benefits of High Frequency Therapy?
High frequency therapy can be used to address many skin conditions. It can reduce acne, blemishes and inflammation by killing bacteria and increasing circulation, while at the same time stimulating collagen production for fine lines and wrinkles reduction. Electrical current can also help minimize dark circles under eyes as well as puffiness around them; furthermore it helps minimize pores as well as improving skin texture.
High-frequency facial treatments can be performed both at a spa and using at-home devices, with quick, painless treatments being ideal for most skin types. Although you may experience slight tingling or redness during a high-frequency facial, its effects typically fade after some hours. To get optimal results from high-frequency treatments it’s essential to follow instructions closely – exfoliating before hand may irritate skin further while wearing jewelry or contact lenses during treatment may further irritate it further.
If you suffer from breakouts, high-frequency facials can be extremely helpful. The electrical current stimulates skin cells while killing bacteria to stop new breakouts from occurring. Furthermore, treatment may also help reduce redness or inflammation associated with rosacea or eczema.
High-frequency facials not only reduce fine lines and wrinkles, but they can also tighten loose skin by stimulating collagen fiber growth in the deep dermis, leading to firmer and younger-looking complexion. The electric currents used during treatment stimulate new, compact collagen fibre formation in order to achieve this result.
High-frequency treatments differ from traditional facials in that they can also be safely applied to the back, making them a suitable solution for men who suffer from back acne (bacne). Unfortunately, high-frequency treatments do not penetrate the epidermis like chemical peels and laser therapies, thus not as effective at reducing ingrown hairs or treating sun damage.
High-frequency and LED light therapy both offer effective ways of treating various skin issues; however, they differ considerably when it comes to relieving fine lines and wrinkles, with high-frequency electric currents more effective at doing so than LED light therapy. LED lights tend to address inflammation more effectively while high-frequency electric currents may reduce them more efficiently than any other approach.
What Are the Drawbacks of High Frequency Therapy?
High frequency therapy is a safe and effective treatment when used properly; however, if you suffer from skin conditions which make the surface of the skin more delicate or fragile (sunburn, open wounds, herpes simplex infections and so on), high frequency therapy should not be performed until after pregnancy or nursing has concluded.
High frequency facials utilize a glass electrode wand to apply a mild electrical current over the face, which helps to reduce inflammation, kill bacteria and regenerate collagen for smoother, healthier-looking skin. Prior to every treatment, the wand is thoroughly sanitized; you may feel warm or tingly sensations; any discomfort should be immediately reported so an aesthetician can make necessary adjustments before proceeding further.
LED light therapy utilizes different wavelengths of light to address different conditions and issues. Red light can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone, enhance hair growth in those suffering from androgenic alopecia, promote healing of acne lesions and treat other common skin complaints, as well as diminish stretch marks by stimulating collagen production and diminishing scars.
An LED device will be placed over your face for approximately 20 minutes during each session of red light therapy, with multiple sessions necessary for visible results. Unlike radio frequency treatments, red light treatments do not involve heat or discomfort; however, they may temporarily cause redness or swelling for up to 24 hours post treatment; depending on your skin type you may need a moisturizer post session in order to protect from dryness.
While both LED and RF treatments provide great advantages, it’s essential that you select the one most suited to your individual needs. Choose a high frequency facial if you desire quick and immediate results such as reduced puffiness, dark circles or acne; otherwise opt for radio frequency skin tightening treatments which offer long-term rejuvenation of skin texture as well as rejuvenation of collagen levels in the dermis.
