The Origins of High Frequency Skin Therapy

While high frequency skin therapy is considered a modern technique, its roots date back to the late 19th century. The renowned scientist Nikola Tesla invented the high frequency machine for medical purposes and effective patient treatment, dubbing it the “Tesla current” or the “violet ray” due to the purple glow it emitted.

In the same era, French biophysicist Jacques-Arsène d’Arsonval pioneered the use of high frequency currents to treat skin diseases. He also invented the first glass electrode tubes still used in high frequency devices today, naming his technique “D’Arsonvalization” or “D’Arsonval high frequency therapy.”

Over time, this therapy gained widespread popularity across Europe and America for cosmetic and healing applications. European salons discovered the benefits of high frequency electrical stimulation for the skin in the 1970s, and by the 1980s, the technology had become mainstream among skin care professionals in North America.

What is High Frequency Skin Therapy?

High frequency skin therapy harnesses the gentle, oxygenating power of oscillating electrical currents to improve your skin’s texture and condition. This is achieved through a high frequency glass electrode filled with neon, argon gas, or a combination, which acts as a conduit to deliver the mild current from the device to your skin. This oxygenated current promotes thermal tissue warming and creates an antibacterial effect, greatly enhancing your skin’s health.

Depending on the type of gas inside the glass electrode, the electrical current produces either a red (neon) or blue (argon) light. These lights have different effects: red stimulates blood circulation and collagen production, while blue kills acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation.

High frequency therapy can treat a range of skin concerns, helping you achieve the radiant, glowing complexion you’ve always wanted. From acne management to minimizing enlarged pores, diminishing signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines, and promoting an overall healthier glow, this technique tackles numerous issues for a flawless appearance.

Benefits of Using a High Frequency Wand

When it comes to skincare, high frequency therapy is considered a “lifesaver” for its unparalleled ability to deliver mild electrical currents deep into the skin, increasing blood circulation for remarkable results. Here are some of the key benefits you can expect from using a high frequency wand:

• Disinfects: It kills surface bacteria and germs, preventing infections while promoting faster wound healing by stimulating cell regeneration.
• Reduces Inflammation: It calms inflammation, swelling from acne, sunburns, insect bites or allergic reactions, and soothes sensitive, irritated skin by relaxing nerves.
• Treats and Prevents Stubborn Acne: It eliminates acne-causing bacteria, reduces sebum production, unclogs pores, and prevents future breakouts.
• Removes Blackheads and Whiteheads: It softens hardened oils and dirt trapped in pores for easier extraction while tightening pores for improved appearance.
• Fades Dark Spots: It inhibits melanin production, lightening hyperpigmentation, age spots, and evening out skin tone for a brighter complexion.
• Diminishes Wrinkles and Fine Lines: It boosts collagen and elastin production, essential for skin firmness and elasticity, while plumping up cells to smooth wrinkles.
• Reduces Puffy Eyes: It improves lymphatic drainage to alleviate under-eye swelling and relaxes surrounding muscles for reduced eye fatigue.
• Lightens Dark Circles: Increased blood circulation around the eyes delivers more oxygen and nutrients while flushing out toxins that cause discoloration.
• Enhances Lymphatic Drainage: Stimulating lymph flow naturally detoxifies the body and strengthens the immune system.
• Promotes Hair Growth: It nourishes hair follicles by boosting circulation and activates dormant cells to prevent hair loss and stimulate regrowth.

How to Use a High Frequency Wand at Home

To enjoy the benefits of high frequency therapy at home, you’ll need a high frequency machine or, more conveniently, a high frequency facial wand. These amazing wands feature an ergonomic handle for easy maneuvering and come with various shaped glass electrodes (round, oval, mushroom, bent, comb) for effortless use on different areas.

Here are simple steps to follow for an at-home high frequency facial using a wand:

1. Cleanse Your Skin: Before treatment, thoroughly cleanse your skin with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup that could interfere.

2. Apply Serum or Cream: After cleansing, apply a serum or moisturizer suited to your skin type to hydrate and nourish. You can also use a conductive gel designed for high frequency devices.

3. Choose an Electrode: Select the appropriate electrode for the area you want to treat: round for small areas like pimples or scars, oval for larger zones like cheeks or forehead, mushroom for overall facial treatment, bent for hard-to-reach spots like the nose or chin, or a comb for the scalp and hair.

4. Turn on the Device: Insert the chosen electrode into the wand’s handle and power it on. You’ll see a light emitting from the electrode and hear a buzzing sound. Adjust the current intensity to your comfort level.

5. Apply to Skin: Gently hold the electrode against your skin, moving it in circular or zigzag motions. Avoid keeping it in one spot too long or pressing too hard. You may feel a mild tingling sensation or soft crackling sound, which is normal. Steer clear of any metal objects or jewelry while using.

6. Treat Each Area for 3-5 Minutes: Treat each area for approximately 3-5 minutes, depending on your skin condition and desired results. You can repeat the treatment as needed, but no more than once daily.

7. Turn off Device and Remove Electrode: After finishing, power off the wand and remove the electrode. Clean it with alcohol or disinfecting wipes after each use and store in a dry place.

8. Apply Moisturizer or Sunscreen: Follow up with a moisturizer or sunscreen to prevent dehydration and sun damage. You can also use a soothing mask or toner.
