What Is a High-Frequency Facial?
A high-frequency facial is an advanced skin treatment that uses a gentle electric current to rejuvenate and improve skin health. Compared to traditional facials, it offers enhanced results and addresses multiple skin concerns.
Key points:
- Uses low-level electrical currents for skin stimulation.
- Known for being safe, effective, and versatile.
- Can treat both facial and body areas.
How Do High-Frequency Facial Treatments Work?
A high-frequency facial treatment uses specialized electrodes filled with gas to deliver gentle electric currents to the skin. This creates thermal energy that improves skin health and appearance.
How it works:
- The electrode emits oxygen molecules when the current reacts with the gas.
- This oxygen has an antibacterial effect, helping push away toxins.
- The process hydrates and nourishes cells, improving overall skin vitality.
- Circulation is boosted, promoting cell renewal, collagen, and elastin production.
- The result: softer, energized, and rejuvenated skin
What Role Do Electrodes Play in the Treatment?
The electrodes are key to delivering the benefits of high-frequency facials.
Key details:
- Electrodes are made of glass and filled with inert gas.
- When the current passes through, they produce heat and oxygen.
- They emit a buzzing sound and subtle glow during treatment.
Why Are Different Gases Used in High-Frequency Facials?
Different gases in the electrodes provide different skincare benefits:
- Argon gas – Emits a violet glow, ideal for acne-prone and oily skin.
- Neon gas – Emits a red glow, best for anti-aging and circulation improvement.
Who Should Get a High-Frequency Facial?
A high-frequency facial is considered a safe, effective, and gentle approach to treating a wide variety of common skin problems. It is good for improving the overall skin tone, glow, and texture, treating acne problems, stimulating lymphatic flow, evenly dispersing excess fluids, and stimulating collagen and elastin production.Â
Even though high-frequency facial is effective and safe for many people, there are important factors to be considered, such as:
- High frequency should not be used on women with heart conditions, pregnancy, cancer, or hypersensitive skin.
- Avoid using Glycolic acid products with high frequency.
- Aestheticians must avoid contact with broken capillaries, spider veins, and areas of rosacea.
Does High-Frequency Kill Bacteria?
The skin’s surface is oxygenated during a high-frequency facial, stimulating circulation. As a result, the skin is detoxified, killing the pimple-inducing stuff and the stubborn acne-causing bacteria.
What Are the Benefits of High-Frequency Treatment?
Here are some high-frequency facial benefits ladies in Miami need to know if they are considering having this skin care treatment:
Tightens and firms the skin
High frequency stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for maintaining firmness and elasticity on the skin. This boost in production helps in firming ladies’ facial contours, smoothing wrinkles, and reducing fine lines giving them a youthful look.
Great for treating acne
When combined with an effective treatment lotion, high-frequency facial helps you manage acne by cleansing the skin of toxins and acne-causing bacteria. Your skin is more receptive to acne lotions and creams, improving your skin look.
Shrinks enlarged pores
High-frequency facials effectively reduce the size of enlarged pores since the oxygen molecules produced by high-frequency currents penetrate deep into the skin, cleaning out the unwanted waste and thereby allowing the pores to reduce to their natural size.Â

A high-frequency skin treatment involves using a high-frequency electrode that generates electrical light energy and enriched oxygen molecules. It kills bacteria, stimulates collagen production, and initiates cell renewal.
At Flawless by Melissa Fox, experienced cosmetologists perform this complex yet highly effective procedure using the latest technologies. We are happy to answer the most frequently asked questions about high frequency facials.
How often should you use high frequency on your face?
Using high-frequency treatment 2–3 times per week is enough for most people. You can have several treatments before switching to monthly maintenance sessions. In some cases, an aesthetician may recommend daily treatments.
Is high frequency safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. When done correctly, high-frequency is usually safe for sensitive skin. If your skin is sensitive, the aesthetician will lower intensity settings and recommend shorter treatment times. If you have active acne breakouts or other inflammation, you may need to postpone the treatment.
High frequency vs. microcurrent: What’s the difference?
High frequency uses a glass electrode and a mild electrical current that helps kill bacteria and promote surface-level skin renewal. Meanwhile, microcurrent works deeper. It uses low-voltage electrical currents to stimulate facial muscles to improve elasticity. The latter is like a facial workout while the former is a treatment.
Is high-frequency good for acne?
Yes, it can be quite helpful for acne treatment. High-frequency facials kill acne-causing bacteria and also deal with inflammation that often leads to breakouts. Â
Can high-frequency help with fine lines and wrinkles?
Yes. A high-frequency facial stimulates blood flow and encourages collagen and elastin production. This helps smooth fine lines and improve skin texture.
Can I get a high-frequency facial while pregnant?
We recommend avoiding high-frequency treatments during pregnancy. Right now, there is no evidence to confirm safety for the growing baby during the facial. At Flawless by Melissa Fox, we stay on top of the latest research. As soon as new information appears, we’ll let you known immediately.
Does high-frequency treatment hurt?
High-frequency treatments are usually gentle. You might feel a light tingling, warmth, or a mild buzzing sensation. The majority of our clients don’t report any discomfort.
What skin types are best for high-frequency facials?
High frequency works well for many skin types:
- Oily
- Combination
- Congested
- Acne-prone
The facial can also help those with early aging skin. However, if your skin is extremely sensitive or irritated, you may need additional care before opting for this procedure.
Can high-frequency shrink pores?
Yes. High-frequency treatment can do a great job of reducing pore size. The process of killing bacteria and clearing out oil often makes pores look smaller.
Can I use retinol or glycolic acid after a high-frequency facial?
We don’t recommend using retinol or glycolic acid right after a high-frequency facial. After the procedure, your skin’s sensitivity is heightened. Both retinol and glycolic acid can pose a risk of additional irritation. Ideally, you should wait 2 – 3 days before resuming such skincare.  Â
What’s the difference between argon and neon gas in high-frequency facials?
Each of the gases used in high-frequency facials gives slightly different results:
- Argon: Has an antibacterial effect and targets acne, oily skin, and inflammation.
- Neon: Promotes circulation and helps with fine lines (has an anti-aging effect)
They also create a different glow. Argon is violet/blue while neon is red/orange.
Is there any downtime after a high-frequency treatment?
For most people, there’s minimal or no downtime. You might experience mild redness, which will fade away in a few hours.
Can high-frequency be combined with other facials?
Yes, it often is. It works well alongside many treatments (e.g., gentle facials, cleansers, masks) as long as the other facials aren’t too harsh. An aesthetician can explain which facials are recommended and which should be avoided.
How long does a high-frequency facial session take?
High-frequency sessions can last between 5 and 15 minutes. The duration depends on your skin type and concerns.
What results can I expect after one high-frequency facial?
After one treatment, you’ll often notice that your skin looks more radiant and feels softer. You are likely to see less redness, fewer breakouts, or less puffiness. But deeper changes (fine lines, texture) usually appear after several treatments.Â
