LED light therapy uses various frequencies of LED lights to penetrate specific areas of skin and target specific issues. Combining red and blue lights, it detoxifies, eliminates acne, reduces inflammation, stimulates collagen and increases cell regeneration for reduced fine lines and wrinkles.
Microdermabrasion and LED therapy, when performed together, help heal skin following medical needling (collagen induction therapy). You can perform both treatments on your own using an LED device at home but for maximum effect it should be performed by a professional.
What is High Frequency?
High frequency is a non-invasive, soothing, and rejuvenating skin treatment which stimulates cell renewal, improves product penetration, removes impurities such as bacteria and dead skin cells and helps reduce fine lines, shrink enlarged pores, clear acne as well as age spots, sun damage and superficial hyperpigmentation. High Frequency even promotes hair growth in those suffering from androgenic alopecia.
Hand held glass electrodes filled with either Neon or Argon gas are used in this technique, which when exposed to low levels of electricity will “crackle” as current passes through them and reach all skin types and colors. This treatment can be utilized on all skin types.
As part of your treatment you may experience some mild tingling or buzzing sensations; these should not be excessive. The heat generated from this therapy is very soothing and relaxing – an ideal treatment option for clients with sensitive skin! This procedure is safe and gentle enough for even newcomers.
LED Light Therapy was initially adopted by Navy SEALs to aid wound healing, and has since become a standard in beauty industry practice. Utilizing red light, this therapy treats the outer layer of your epidermis to target collagen proteins and encourage cell renewal to reveal newer, healthier skin; additionally, this process reduces inflammation, redness and can even diminish fine lines and wrinkles!
Blue light directly targets the bacteria responsible for acne breakouts, reducing inflammation and killing off any invading bacteria to clear acne and prevent future outbreaks. Furthermore, it reduces enlarged pores, eliminates blockages in pores, increases circulation and can promote hair growth for those suffering from androgenic alopecia.
Direct and Indirect High Frequency treatments can be an effective remedy for congested skin. After cleansing, toning and exfoliating, Ozone cream is then applied to the face and neck before selecting a glass rod according to which area is being addressed – then an electrode attached directly to this rod starts administering treatments accordingly.
Once the treatment is over, your skin will appear smoother and brighter. After several sessions of high frequency treatments, fine lines and wrinkles should become less noticeable while acne scars will diminish over time. Your complexion will look tighter, brighter and smoother; results from this method of therapy are semi-permanent so regular sessions will need to be scheduled in order to maintain results for best results.
How Does High Frequency Work?
High frequency is an effective skin treatment that stimulates cellular activity and boosts collagen production, without requiring downtime for recovery. Aestheticians will use an electric current emitting glass electrode wand during facials to release mild electrical current that stimulates natural healing processes – helping reduce fine lines, wrinkles, pores size and tone issues while healing acne, puffy eyes or dark under eye circles and improving cellulite. This treatment also benefits healing acne scarring or cellulite issues as it targets skin’s healing processes naturally.
High frequency machines feature electrodes made of clear tempered glass with different shapes to accommodate different areas on the face and body. Electric current runs through inert gas inside each electrode, which then ignites oxygen molecules released to interact positively with skin cells – this process naturally warms, pushes away toxins, enriches cells with nutrients while simultaneously acting as antibacterials while creating a soothing atmosphere resulting in smooth and soft skin that has an antibacterial action and soothing properties, leaving behind soft and supple texture.
At the start of RF treatment, an aesthetician will sanitize a glass electrode wand before applying it directly onto your skin. Once attached, this mild electrical current causes vibrations in your skin which cause vibrations that result in tingling sensations on its own.
High frequency can help create firmer and tighter complexions by increasing circulation and subtly heating tissues underneath, stimulating collagen remodeling responses that result in firmer appearances. Unlike laser treatments, however, high frequency does not damage outer layers of skin and is extremely safe for all types and colors of skin.
Direct High Frequency therapy can be an invaluable asset in treating oily or congested skin, with its drying and antibacterial effect being especially useful in dealing with acne-prone complexions. Furthermore, when combined with massage to revive mature skin it can brighten it while increasing blood supply to the area, making the skin more receptive to product absorption.
How Long Does High Frequency Take?
High frequency is an efficient and quick treatment with no downtime afterward, and usually leaves clients experiencing a tingling sensation that feels very relaxing – an ideal addition to any facial service!
Schedule regular high-frequency facial sessions – usually three or six treatments weekly – in order to maximize its benefits and ensure long-term improvements for your skin! Doing this will allow for continuous progress and ensure lasting effects!
When using a high-frequency device, it’s very important to follow safety and procedure guidelines – particularly if you are an esthetician or dermatologist using this equipment professionally. Furthermore, any products applied before a high-frequency treatment could actually cause it to ignite, creating flames across your client’s face! One of my worst esthetics disasters involved using alcohol-based toner – something which caused my high-frequency machine to spark!
To prevent this from occurring, a sanitized glass electrode wand is used to touch the skin surface and introduce an alternating electrical current through it. This produces healing electrical light energy and purifying ozone that produces tingling sensation.
Ozone produced by skin-care products can help detoxify skin and eliminate acne-causing bacteria, while stimulating cell regeneration and improving penetration by warming facial tissues gently.
Another advantage of this device is that it can help “sparkle” individual blemishes and clear them before they leave discolored marks on your face. But you must only use this method on active blemishes; using it too late on an old pimple could actually worsen it by stimulating pigment cells too quickly.
There are various high-frequency machines, and your best option will depend on your individual skin care needs and requirements. When making this decision, consult a qualified specialist.
What Are the Side Effects of High Frequency?
LED light therapy has been utilized for years for various medical uses (wound healing and tissue growth), and NASA research proves its efficacy. You can find LED devices at beauty salons or purchase multiuse units to use at home; for optimal results and safety it is advised that consultation be sought from qualified health practitioners prior to beginning any course of treatment.
LED facials work by stimulating skin and increasing collagen production, tightening and toning facial features while minimising fine lines and wrinkles as well as shrinking pore sizes. Treatments are very relaxing and painless – some patients even report experiencing a slight buzzing or tingling sensation during treatment! In addition, LED treatments don’t rely on UV rays or heat exposure which makes them suitable options for sensitive skin conditions.
If this type of treatment is new to you, experts advise getting three to six treatments spaced out over one month to achieve maximum results. After this initial phase is over, regular appointments should be scheduled in order to maintain your new glow.
High frequency can address many other skincare concerns beyond minimizing wrinkles, including acne, uneven skin tone and enlarged pores. Its antimicrobial properties kill bacteria to speed healing processes for existing blemishes; and high frequency can even help minimize puffy eyes as well as increase blood circulation to decrease dark circles.
High-frequency treatments differ from radio frequency in that they don’t require any downtime or recovery period; you can return to your daily activities immediately following an appointment. It is advised to avoid shaving or waxing for 24 hours prior to scheduling an appointment.
Radiofrequency treatments may cause some redness and swelling, but they’re significantly more effective than other skin rejuvenation options. Red/infrared laser and light therapy only penetrate the outermost layers of skin while bipolar, tripolar and tetrapolar radiofrequency target deeper tissues for firmer and more toned results.
