High-frequency acne therapy is an effective skincare technique for treating acne-prone skin, reducing inflammation, and accelerating recovery. This therapy is offered at spas, dermatology clinics, and even certain home-use devices.
- High-frequency devices work by providing a tiny electrical current to the skin via a glass electrode filled with argon gas (purple) or neon gas (orange). The current’s ability to create an oxygen-rich environment has several advantages for acne-prone skin:
- The electrical current produces ozone, which has antibacterial qualities and aids in the removal of germs that cause acne. This therapy is ideal for treating intense breakouts since it reduces inflammation and redness surrounding acne patches.
- The current increases oxygen and blood flow to the skin, which accelerates healing and may give the skin more vitality.
- Manages oil production: High-frequency treatments aim to limit the probability of future breakouts via oil production control.
