This is a MUST when performing a deep cleanse facial. This is just one way this procedure can be explained. Direct High frequency is an advanced facial treatment which benefits most skin types, and helps clear up skin conditions such as acne and hormonal breakouts. This treatment is not so popular, and is quite hard to find a salon which performs this treatment as it isnt highly requested like microdermabrasion. How does Direct High frequency work? When performing a Direct High Frequency facial you use a glass mushroom electrode filled with either neon or argon gas. As the High frequency current is passed down the electrode an oxygen pocket is created between the electrode and the skin causing the oxygen to become unstable and turn into ozone. This direct current helps dry out spots and has an antibacterial effect, so is good for oilier skins or those with a few specific acne blemishes. What are the effects of Direct High Frequency? Direct High Frequency is really good for people with oily and combination skins and people who have pimples and blemishes. It has a drying and germicidal effect so it helps calm down acne faster and prevents it from spreading over the face. Procedure of Direct High Frequency: When performing a Direct high frequency facial, both the client and the therapist must have removed all jewelry and metal on themselves. A moisturizing or massage cream is applied thickly and evenly all over the face and chin and then a gauze face mask is placed smoothly over the face. The face mask must be flat against the skin otherwise it may cause the electrode to spark the skin. The electrode is then turned on, and is moved in slow circular motions around your face covering the whole surface of the skin. If you have oily skin your treatment will go for 8-10 minutes, and if you have dry skin your treatment will go for 4-5 minutes. For sparking, which is where a pen like electrode is used to quickly and painlessly zap any pimples, the therapist will turn on the electrode and tap the spot 4-6 times. How much does it cost? A direct High Frequency facial can range from $100 to $240 per treatment, and it is recommended that anyone who is treating a problem such as acne or oily skin to receive this treatment once a week for 10 sessions. It is recommended for everyone else to receive this facial treatment once every two weeks for 10 sessions.
