Whether you’re dealing with occasional breakouts or looking to enhance your regular skincare routine, our experienced estheticians can help determine whether High Frequency is a good fit for your skin.
High Frequency uses a specialized glass electrode to deliver a gentle, high-frequency electrical current to the skin.
The treatment creates a mild electrical discharge at the skin’s surface and is commonly used in professional facials, particularly for acne-prone or congested skin.
Our estheticians will evaluate your skin and determine whether High Frequency is appropriate for your concerns.
High Frequency is often used as a complementary treatment for acne-prone skin.
Laboratory research suggests that high-frequency devices may reduce certain bacteria associated with acne. However, more clinical research is needed to determine how effectively these treatments improve acne in people.
High Frequency shouldn’t replace a recommended acne treatment plan, particularly for persistent or severe breakouts. Our team can help you choose skincare treatments suited to your needs.
High Frequency is commonly used to complement professional skincare treatments, particularly for clients concerned about occasional blemishes and congestion.

Most clients describe High Frequency as a mild tingling, buzzing, or warming sensation. You may also notice a faint electrical sound during treatment.
The sensation can vary depending on your skin’s sensitivity and the area being treated. Your esthetician will explain what to expect and adjust the treatment as appropriate for your comfort.
High Frequency is generally well tolerated when performed appropriately, but it isn’t suitable for everyone.
Temporary redness, dryness, or irritation may occur. Burns or other skin reactions are also possible with improper use.
Certain implanted electronic devices, medical conditions, active skin concerns, or other factors may affect treatment suitability. We’ll review relevant information before recommending treatment.
Most clients can return to normal activities afterward, although we’ll provide any necessary aftercare instructions.
