What is a high frequency facial?
High Frequency Facial Treatment is a non-invasive therapy that uses a high-frequency electrical current to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process. The treatment can help reduce inflammation, kill bacteria, and regenerate collagen, resulting in smoother, healthier-looking skin. The electrical current is applied to the skin via a glass electrode wand, which emits a mild current to the surface of the skin.
