How Does High Frequency Help Reduce Ingrown Hairs?
Did you know that light energy, inert gas, and electricity can be used to stimulate and promote the conditions for healthy skin? The treatment is known as high frequency, and it has a wealth of benefits beyond treating ingrown hairs alone. Let’s get into the process, benefits, and if this treatment is right for you!
How does high frequency work for ingrown hair treatment?
Whether you’ve never heard of the treatment before, or it’s something you’ve been looking into for a while, there’s a world of benefits surrounding high frequency ingrown hair treatments. While those benefits speak for themselves, it’s important to understand the foundations of the process so you come into your appointment feeling confident.
Utilizing small currents to oxygenate the skin
Treatment is achieved by using a wand applicator to channel small currents through the skin. These currents aid your body in producing enriched oxygen molecules naturally from under your skin, boosting the body's natural response to activate cell renewal in the treated area. Cell renewal helps to reduce inflammation, making it an excellent treatment for ingrown hairs.
In addition to ingrown hairs, high frequency also treats enlarged pores, acne, fine lines and wrinkles
If ingrown hairs are not one of your primary concerns, that's okay! This treatment also allows for people who struggle with acne, fine lines and wrinkles to also see improvements in the overall texture of their skin. All of the aforementioned are treated by using Argon electrodes, whereas other topical imperfections are treated by using neon gas. If you’re not sure which treatment is best for you and your skin concerns, that’s what we’re here for!
Rejuvenation and oxygenation helps the skin look and feel radiant
As your body starts to generate oxygen internally, the skin immediately begins to show signs of rejuvenation. By the end of your session, you will leave not only feeling great about your self care treatment, but also looking great because of your healthy, radiant skin.
The history behind high frequency treatments
With such a unique process, it’s easy for your mind to wonder how and why this form of facial therapy was created.
Developed in the late 1800s by Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla has become a household name, renowned far and wide for his accomplishments in society. It may come as a shock, but we also have Tesla to thank for the wonderful tool we use during high frequency treatments.
Back in the late 1800s, Nikola Tesla was using his knowledge on high frequencies and applying it to be used in various ways. Later, a French biophysicist decided to take these new developments and use it in the medical field. From there, the process gained popularity in the 1900s with beauticians and became a cosmetic staple.
Ingrown prone skin and aging skin is often treated with violet and red lights
You can see traces of how light and energy are effective on the skin by referencing the use of red and blue LED light treatments. LED light masks are considered a beauty staple and frequently used to treat the inflammation and underlying causes of ingrown hairs and skin concerns alike. While the process is similar for both LED and high frequency treatments, LED sessions target bacteria on the surface of your skin, whereas a high frequency machine penetrates the epidermis to provide longer lasting results.
Thermal tissue warming helps to deter toxins
As the electrodes are used on your skin and the oxygenation process has begun, this creates a gentle thermal warming of your tissue. This reaction allows oxygen rich blood to move through the skin, delivering much needed nutrients while ridding the area of unwanted toxins. As the toxins are disbanded, your natural levels of collagen elastin increase, providing immediate results and happy, healthy skin.
