High-frequency is a rejuvenation process based on electrical currents. This treatment utilizes oscillation, or movement, through a wand attached to a machine. The electrical currents are adjusted to the right frequency. During a high-frequency treatment, low-level electricity is transferred to bulb-like tips through an easy-to-hold wand. The bulb is then placed just at the surface of the skin where the electrical magic takes place. To help glide the wand over gauze may be utilized.

The tingling and the vibration from high frequency improves the blood circulation in the scalp and helps revitalizing the dormant hair follicles. This leads to better hair growth, controls hair loss, helps with dandruff issues as well. This treatment may be used as a standalone therapy or in conjunction with other therapies to help with better absorption of the treatment serums.

High frequency treatments are one of the more potent weapons in the esthetician’s arsenal and can be utilized for various different reasons including:
