Frequently Asked Questions
What is high frequency facial treatment and what does it do?
High frequency facial treatment uses a gentle alternating electrical current delivered through a glass electrode to stimulate the skin. The thermal energy increases blood circulation, promotes cellular turnover, and triggers collagen and elastin production for firmer, more youthful-looking skin. At our Coquitlam, BC clinic, high frequency is also used as a powerful antibacterial treatment that kills acne-causing bacteria on contact, making it a versatile treatment for both anti-aging and acne management.
Is high frequency treatment safe for all skin types?
High frequency therapy is safe for virtually all skin types and is one of the gentlest professional skin treatments available. The treatment is painless and produces no downtime, making it suitable even for sensitive or reactive skin. However, it is not recommended for clients with pacemakers, epilepsy, or who are pregnant. Our Coquitlam aestheticians will review your health history before treatment to ensure it is appropriate for you.
Can high frequency treatment help with acne and breakouts?
Yes, high frequency is highly effective for acne-prone skin. The electrical current generates a natural form of oxygen that has strong antibacterial properties, killing acne-causing bacteria on contact and reducing inflammation. Regular high frequency treatments at our Coquitlam, BC clinic can significantly reduce active breakouts and help prevent new ones from forming. It is often combined with other facial treatments for a comprehensive approach to clearer skin.
How often should I get high frequency treatments in Coquitlam?
For anti-aging benefits, we typically recommend high frequency treatments once every two to four weeks as part of a regular skincare maintenance routine. For active acne, more frequent sessions of once per week may be beneficial until breakouts are under control. High frequency can also be added as a booster to any facial treatment at our Coquitlam clinic for enhanced results without extending your appointment significantly.
What is the difference between high frequency and LED light therapy?
While both treatments are non-invasive and promote skin health, they work through different mechanisms. High frequency uses electrical current and thermal energy to boost circulation, kill bacteria, and stimulate collagen, while LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to trigger cellular responses. Both are available at our Coquitlam, BC clinic and can be combined in a single session for enhanced results, addressing concerns from acne to anti-aging simultaneously.
