IN THIS ARTICLE:

On the lookout for a new skincare trend? Here’s one: high frequency skin treatment is an innovative new approach to skin care that utilizes a scientific concept to target troubled areas and improve overall skin health. At-home devices that use high frequency, aptly called wands, are quickly gaining popularity among skincare enthusiasts due to their numerous benefits and overall convenience.

The science behind this device is simple - you'll be surprised how effective it can get when it comes to anti-aging, anti-acne, or overall skin health. Learn more about the portable high-frequency wand, its many benefits, and how to use one at home.

What is a High Frequency Treatment?

DEFINITION

High frequency is a skin treatment method that uses thermal current to increase the skin’s oxygen supply. Electrodes are used to deliver thermal energy and there are two types: argon gas and neon gas.

How Do High Frequency Wands Work?

Understanding how a treatment works gives you an idea of the benefits you can experience. A high frequency wand uses oscillating or moving electrical current to effectively rejuvenate skin. A portable high frequency wand is attached to a machine that generates low-level electricity. This mild current moves and travels through the wand and into the bubble tip or electrode. When the tip is brought to the surface of the skin, the rejuvenation process begins.

The portable high frequency wand is usually filled with argon or neon gas to help you achieve specific benefits. The electrical current ignites the inert gas once the electrode is applied to the skin. This process creates a beneficial reaction that produces enriched oxygen molecules with antibacterial properties. It also triggers natural warming which stimulates collagen production in the dermis.

Oxygen gives the skin cells a boost which contributes to the overall health of the skin. It works directly on the pores to eliminate bacteria, calm skin, promote collagen production, and more. The moving low-level current helps to rejuvenate the skin in a safe and gentle manner with minimal to no downtime.

What can high frequency treatment do to the skin?

There are two types of high frequency electrodes: argon and neon gas. What is the difference between the two? Here are high frequency wand benefits based on the inert gas used.

How often should I do high frequency treatment and what to expect?

As with any type of skincare treatment, it takes weeks of consistent and proper use to see and feel the effects of high frequency treatment. It is recommended to use your portable high frequency wand for 10 to 15-minute sessions, two to three times a week. Spend no more than five minutes per affected area. Carefully read through the instructions prior to first use.

Minor side effects such as redness, swelling, and tingling sensations are normal after each treatment session. These usually disappear in a few days. Treat freshly treated skin gently, do not use harsh cleansers and finish off with your preferred serum or moisturizing product.
