High frequency skin therapy (HFST) can be an effective and non-invasive way of treating various skin issues, including acne, fine lines and wrinkles, puffy eyes and dullness. Using this rejuvenating therapy treatment on all skin types ensures safe results.
At a treatment session, a glass electrode wand is sterilized before being gently glided over your face by an electrical current that creates a buzzing noise and subtle glow that depends on which inert gas is contained within: neon glows violet for treating blemishes while argon glows red to provide anti-ageing benefits.
What is it?
High frequency skin therapy (HFST) is an increasingly popular skincare technique employed by prestigious spas and professional salons as an integral component of many skincare treatment plans, procedures, and programs. HFST can effectively address issues like acne, enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, puffy eyes, dark under eye circles and cellulite while offering anti-ageing benefits and helping reduce the appearance of thinning hair.
High-frequency treatments introduce thermal energy directly into the skin through electrodes containing inert gases such as argon or neon. These gases warm without harming, stimulating lymphatic flow, clearing pores and aiding healing.
High-frequency treatments generate oxygen molecules with an antibacterial and tissue warming effect, dilatarising blood vessels to push away toxins, leaving your cells with essential vitamins and hydration; ultimately leading to noticeably softer and firmer skin.
As the electrode moves over your skin surface, it creates a natural tingling sensation, stimulating your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin for firming, toning and smoothing purposes. Furthermore, this stimulation improves absorption of skin care products for more effective absorption by your body.
High-frequency treatments not only clear existing blemishes, but they can also prevent new ones from appearing by killing bacteria which cause breakouts. Furthermore, high frequency can balance oil production on your skin and regulate any sebum which contributes to blocked pores.
High-frequency facials are also beneficial for people with sensitive skin as the gentle electrical stimulation does not cause irritation. You may feel a slight tingling sensation but this is completely harmless and normal. Additionally, high frequency is an ideal treatment option for men suffering from back acne (known as “bacne”) as it clears away skin debris while simultaneously healing wounds.
How does it work?
High frequency facials are a non-invasive therapy that uses light energy to promote skin rejuvenation and renewal, making them a non-surgical alternative to more dramatic cosmetic procedures, chemical peels, Collagen or Botox injections. High frequency facials offer safe and effective solutions for acne, enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, puffy eyes, dark under eye circles or cellulite issues that commonly arise as beauty concerns.
High frequency facial treatments work on a cellular level to stimulate circulation, kill bacteria, flush out toxins and support collagen and elastin production – leaving skin looking refreshed, tighter and smoother after just one session! The device glides gently over face and neck areas producing a subtle buzzing noise and glow (depending on which inert gas-filled glass electrode you choose; neon orange/violet for acne-prone skin and red/orange for aging skin types).
Electrical current passes through neon or argon filled glass electrodes to produce oxygen molecules which are then released onto the skin’s surface, invigorating and oxygenating deeper layers to promote cell renewal, reduce inflammation, shrink pores, increase blood flow, penetrate skincare products more easily and help achieve a radiant and healthy complexion.
Your practitioner will begin your treatment by cleaning away dirt and oil before applying a gentle cleanser or serum to your face or neck. As you relax back into the device’s vibrations, they will move across your entire face, neck, and sometimes decolletage area – the experience should be pain-free with many clients experiencing only a minor buzzing or tingling sensation that is completely harmless.
There are various high frequency treatments available depending on your individual skincare needs. LED Light Therapy is an excellent anti-age treatment option; similar to high frequency facials but without heat or electrical currents being used. Instead, LED Light Therapy utilizes different wavelengths of light that target specific issues, like fine lines and wrinkles; red LEDs penetrate deep layers of skin encouraging collagen production thus diminishing fine lines over time.
What are the benefits?
High frequency skin therapy is an efficient and safe solution to improve the appearance of breakouts, fine lines, or puffy eyes. This therapy stimulates your natural healing processes by eliminating bacteria and improving circulation; additionally it promotes collagen production which leads to firmer and younger-looking skin. Furthermore, unlike laser or chemical peel treatments which may cause pain or discomfort for some individuals, high frequency therapy treatment does not produce pain or discomfort at any point during its application.
High-frequency electrical current passes through glass electrode wands with high-frequency electric current, creating a slight buzzing sound and subtle glow, depending on what inert gas they are filled with (violet/blue for acne-prone skin; red/orange for aging skin). This reaction increases blood circulation to help your body’s natural defenses push out toxins while simultaneously hydrating skin. Moreover, this treatment improves cell renewal while simultaneously increasing collagen and elastin levels for soft, glowing results after just one session!
While high-frequency facial treatments offer many advantages, it’s important to note that not everyone will find this treatment suitable. Pregnant women and those suffering from epilepsy should avoid this method as its thermal energy may exacerbate both conditions further. Furthermore, those with broken veins or sensitive skin should avoid this approach as it may lead to burning or tingling sensations during treatment.
Apart from these precautions, most clients report feeling only mild tingling during their high-frequency facial treatment. The heat may cause temporary redness or swelling; this typically resolves itself within hours.

What are the risks?
High frequency skin therapy is generally safe and is commonly seen as part of facial treatments, offering relaxing benefits for most. While some individuals may experience a slight tingling or buzzing sensation from electrical current, this should usually not interfere with facial treatment and should only be performed during pregnancies, pacemaker conditions, or when someone has highly sensitive skin.
Electrical currents generated during a high frequency facial treatment help kill bacteria, reduce inflammation and promote cell turnover for improved skin tone, texture and appearance. Furthermore, this therapy tightens pores, diminishes fine lines and wrinkles as well as fade dark under eye circles and cellulite to provide visible results.
High frequency facials offer an effective skincare treatment with little downtime afterward, without significant risks attached. If possible, consult with a professional first to make sure the mix of treatments used are safe and appropriate for your unique skin type and concerns.
High frequency electrical currents used in a high frequency facial treatment help stimulate collagen and elastin production, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, boost blood circulation and minimize enlarged pores as well as decongest your skin of blackheads and whiteheads.
High-frequency facials are another effective method to combat acne, helping reduce breakouts by killing bacteria and soothing inflammation. They can either serve as preventive measures against future breakouts or help heal existing cases of acne.
