High frequency wands have long been used by professional aestheticians as essential beauty tools, but now they’re also readily available for sale at home.
LED light therapy works differently from high frequency wands, targeting acne-causing bacteria with blue and red lights to reduce inflammation and speed healing of cysts and nodules.
Acne
There’s no shortage of skincare devices claiming to help eliminate acne, but which is best suited for you? High frequency wands provide quick results for surface blemishes while LED light therapy excels at targeting deeper inflamed spots like cysts and nodules. Combining both treatments increases results while leaving skin healthier and smoother overall.
High frequency wands use electrical current to heat the skin’s surface, stimulating collagen and elastin production for firmer complexion. They’re perfect for targeting blemishes and wrinkles while simultaneously killing bacteria and reducing inflammation. If you want immediate tightening effects, select a device with violet (argon gas) electrodes for antibacterial protection and orange-red (neon gas) electrodes for collagen stimulation.
LED Light Therapy employs specific wavelengths of light to treat skin without using harmful chemicals or toxins. Blue and red lights work effectively against acne-causing bacteria while simultaneously decreasing inflammation and speeding healing time – ideal for most skin types and helping fade post-acne marks.
Day cautions against the use of high-frequency wands at home (they require fragile glass, gases and an electric current), but they can still be useful if you experience breakouts. One such high-frequency device, ZIIP Dot is equipped with both microcurrent to reduce inflammation as well as nanocurrent technology that mimics natural electrical currents to accelerate cell renewal – as well as green, blue and red LED settings to address fine lines, dark circles and puffiness issues.
LED Light Therapy may provide long-term wrinkle reduction solutions by stimulating collagen over time. While results may take longer to show, their benefits tend to last much longer than with high frequency wands. The beautyPro LED Light Therapy Device is lightweight and portable making it convenient to carry around in your handbag or suitcase; additionally it comes equipped with a handy “calm mode” feature if your skin is particularly sensitive.
Wrinkles
For wrinkle smoothing solutions, the ideal device may combine different technologies. For instance, the BeautyPro LED Wand Device (PS119) incorporates red light to stimulate collagen, microcurrents for firming, and an anti-ageing peptide which boosts cell turnover; additionally, this device uses sonic vibrations massage techniques for an even fuller complexion and even can even boost hair growth!
The device features interchangeable electrodes that are tailored to address specific skin concerns. Users with breakouts should use violet (argon gas) or orange-red neon gas tools to target bacteria, while spot and comb attachments provide great detail for targeting specific blemishes. Its dot attachment uses argon violet to target inflammation caused by pimples as well as break them down, helping prevent future outbreaks from popping up again.
Professional high frequency wands are typically utilized as an additional step within facial treatments such as extractions; however, these devices have now become widely available to be purchased as at-home devices. “Generally safe for home use but always refer to a skincare professional to make sure you use them correctly,” according to Day.
High frequency wands are generally safe for most skin types; however, those with sensitive or reactive skin may find them slightly uncomfortable as the electrical current may cause slight irritation. They should not be used during pregnancy nor those suffering from deep scarring, psoriasis, rosacea or any serious dermatological conditions.
LED Light Therapy may also be an ideal treatment option for those with sensitive skin. Utilizing various wavelengths, LED Light Therapy utilizes different light wavelengths to treat skin concerns like acne and inflammation while red light therapy has proven especially useful at reducing fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production over time. Furthermore, unlike high frequency treatments which use heat or electrical currents for delivering treatment, LED is much gentler on your complexion.
Results may take several sessions to become visible; however, regular treatments will show results after just 4-6 weeks. No matter whether it is for instant wrinkle reduction or long-term wrinkle prevention, either technology should be explored if you wish to achieve a more youthful-looking complexion without experiencing side effects from lasers and injectables.
Sun Damage
If you have been trying to avoid sun exposure or have been struggling with freckles, hyperpigmentation and brown spots on your skin, high-frequency wand treatments could be just the thing to help restore its healthy glow. Working from within outward, high frequency treatments work from within out to reduce pigmentation levels, fade dark spots, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, without damaging surface skin layers or using harsh chemicals.
LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy is becoming an increasingly popular treatment in the skincare industry due to its ability to deliver visible improvements for acne, wrinkles and more. It works by penetrating skin with certain wavelengths of light to initiate natural healing processes within the body such as collagen production and cell regeneration while increasing blood circulation resulting in healthier-looking skin.
This treatment is suitable for all skin types and colors, and can be used alone or combined with other aesthetic services. Ideal for sensitive skin as it requires no pain or irritation during application. Also ideal for beginners starting to try professional treatments as it works in tandem with facials to calm skin irritation while supporting recovery after more intensive sessions.
Novuskin offers some of the highest-quality LED devices on the market that have been FDA-cleared and rigorously tested to ensure safety and efficacy, offering safe yet effective results with each wavelength of light it utilizes.
Though LED may produce immediate results, it should be understood as an ongoing commitment in order to maximize results. For the best outcomes, weekly or biweekly treatments along with a consistent skincare regime should be added for long-term success and sunscreen should always be worn after LED sessions.
LED light therapy has an excellent safety record; however, before beginning treatments it’s always wise to consult with a skincare professional first. Furthermore, the device shouldn’t be used on broken or active skin and it is essential that users follow all recommended instructions for use.
Ageing
High frequency wands are effective tools for treating more than just blemishes; they can also promote collagen production, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, tighten skin, boost circulation (with T-Sonic massage function) to decrease puffiness, as well as help stimulate healthy hair growth through violet and orange red electrodes. LED Light Therapy devices can be integrated into home devices to address various skin concerns like wrinkles or depuffing the skin.
Contrary to radiofrequency and ultrasound cavitation treatments that heat the hypodermis and dermis (where cellulite resides) as well as its underlying tissues, low power red/infrared LED lights improve mitochondrial function through reduced senescence, more energy production and decreased inflammation in treated areas – although these efforts alone won’t have an impactful result on cellulite or skin tightening alone.
Foreo’s beauty device offers an alternative to conventional high frequency wands with advanced radiofrequency, red light therapy and EMS microcurrent technology for an all-encompassing treatment that aims to tone muscles, sculpt the face, boost microcirculation, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and boost microcirculation. Furthermore, this device comes equipped with purple, orange and red LED settings designed specifically to address acne-prone or oily skin concerns.
