Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about High Frequency Facial.

Yes — when performed by a licensed esthetician, high frequency is generally safe for sensitive skin. We use lower intensities and protective techniques, and perform a consultation and spot test to customize settings, minimizing irritation while delivering calming antimicrobial benefits.

Most clients see visible improvement after one treatment, but a series of three to six sessions spaced weekly or biweekly is ideal for persistent acne, enlarged pores, or skin rejuvenation. Your esthetician will design a personalized plan based on your skin concerns and response.

Common temporary effects include mild redness, warmth, or slight tingling that typically subside within hours to a day. Rarely, sensitive skin may experience brief dryness or flaking. Your esthetician will provide post-care guidance to soothe skin and enhance recovery.

High frequency can help reduce bacteria and inflammation associated with many acne types, but deep cystic acne may need combined medical treatments. We assess severity and may coordinate with your dermatologist to ensure safe, effective care alongside topical or oral prescriptions when necessary.

Most clients report a mild, warming or tingling sensation as the device stimulates the skin. Discomfort is minimal, and settings are adjusted for your comfort. If you feel pain, tell your esthetician immediately so intensity can be lowered or treatment modified.

Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, and direct sun exposure for at least forty-eight hours before treatment. Arrive with clean skin and disclose medications or medical history. Follow pre-care instructions from your esthetician to ensure safety and maximize treatment effectiveness.
