Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about High Frequency.

High Frequency uses a mild alternating electrical current via a glass electrode to oxygenate follicles, reduce bacteria, and help dry out pustules. Performed by trained estheticians, it complements extractions and skincare to speed clearance and reduce inflammation.

Most clients feel a gentle tingling or warming sensation; treatments are generally comfortable. Your esthetician adjusts intensity to your tolerance, explains each step, and pauses if you need. Downtime is minimal with immediate soothing available.

Avoid heavy makeup, exfoliants, retinoids, and prolonged sun exposure for 48 hours before treatment. Share medications and recent procedures with us. We'll review contraindications and confirm it's safe to proceed during your consultation.

Skin may be slightly pink and feel warm; pustules often dry and improve over several days. We apply calming serums and provide specific aftercare instructions to protect skin and optimize results while minimizing irritation.

Results vary with severity and skin type. Many clients notice improvement after one to three sessions, while persistent concerns may need a short series. At your appointment we’ll recommend a personalized schedule and pricing.

Contraindications include pregnancy, pacemakers or implanted devices, epilepsy, open wounds, and certain medications. Mild side effects can include temporary redness, dryness, or slight swelling. We complete a thorough consultation to ensure safety.
