HIGH FREQUENCY WAND: CAN ELECTRICITY TREAT PIMPLES AND WRINKLES?

The high-frequency wand is an innovative beauty tool that uses electricity to fight pimples and inflammation. We explain all the facts.

Unfortunately, pimples are not just a teenage problem: Even in adulthood, blemishes can sprout on the forehead, nose and cheeks - and they can spoil our day. According to expert estimates, as many as 40 percent of people over the age of 25 tend to have impure skin.

In order to get the annoying problem under control, you can rely on one of the numerous remedies in the form of cleansing gels, facial tonics and serums - or pamper your skin with a high-frequency wand (short: HF wand). This is an even less well-known but highly effective beauty tool that dermatologists and beauty salons also use to fight acne or reduce wrinkles.

WHAT IS A HIGH FREQUENCY ROD?

The high-frequency wand is a modern device that is mostly used in dermatology and medical cosmetics for professional acne treatments. It can also be found under the term "Darsonval". For some time now, however, the HF wand has also been available in a handy format for use at home. You can imagine the device a bit like an electric toothbrush: It consists of a handpiece on which attachments of various shapes can be mounted.

These in turn are equipped with so-called electrodes, which conduct electricity at a frequency of 50 to 60 Hz. And don't worry: the current impulses are not painful - but they can take some getting used to at first and cause a slight tingling sensation on the skin.

HOW DOES A HIGH FREQUENCY ROD WORK?

If the electrodes of the HF device come into contact with the face, gentle current surges are discharged directly into the skin. Don't be alarmed: the spark discharge is visible and resembles a mini lightning bolt.

Depending on the treatment goal, the electrodes are filled with different inert gases. They light up when you turn them on so you can easily tell them apart:

• Neon: The electrodes glow orange. These are best suited for signs of aging and dark circles under the eyes as they stimulate blood circulation. These electrodes are a little more common. Many users also use it successfully against pimples.

• Argon: The electrodes glow purple. Use this for acne and blemishes to treat the affected areas with an antibacterial agent and to speed up the healing process.

If you have electrodes with both gases, it is best to always start the application with argon to treat everything antibacterial first.

The different shape of the attachments depends on the area that you want to treat with your HF rod:

• Mushroom Shape: The entire face

• Tongue Shape: Smaller areas such as under the eyes, above the upper lip, or the corners of the mouth

• Curved Spot Wand: Spot on, especially on pimples

• Straight Stick: Stimulates acupuncture points

• Y-tube: neck, neck and shoulders

• Comb: hairline

When it comes into contact with the skin, the energy is transferred to the skin, the "spark" literally jumps over. Oxygen on the skin is converted into so-called ozone oxygen, which is said to have a healing effect. Ozone eliminates viruses and bacteria, improves the properties of red blood cells and thus optimizes oxygen transport in the blood. At the same time, the facial treatment stimulates blood circulation, lymph flow and cell metabolism and can activate the tissue through heat generation.

Note: The intensity varies depending on the shape of the glass electrode. This means: the smaller the touchdown point, the stronger you will feel the electrical impulses. What is okay for the cheeks can therefore feel much more intense in the area below the nose. You can therefore regulate the intensity on the device yourself at any time.

Try it out. You can also rotate the electrodes on the skin and apply a larger or smaller area. You'll notice the difference and quickly find the best routine for you.

RADIO FREQUENCY BAR: THE EFFECT OF HF THERAPY

The treatment of the skin with high frequency is a great addition to the daily skin care regime, because it brings with it a number of benefits that we will explain to you in detail:

1. HIGH FREQUENCY WAND FOR ACNE: CLEARING ACTION

Because the HF rod destroys harmful bacteria and other germs, the skin is deeply disinfected. This can improve acne and prevent breakouts from forming again. Above all, the HF treatment with the violet electrodes accelerates wound healing, allows inflammation to subside more quickly and can help to reduce the appearance of scars and pimples.

Big advantage: anti-pimple care products are usually enriched with aggressive ingredients that dry out impurities, but unfortunately also affect the protective acid layer of the skin. Here, the HF Wand is a gentle and reliable alternative that preserves the skin's natural protective barrier and even regulates its pH level.

2. ANTI-AGING THROUGH THE HIGH FREQUENCY DEVICE

The high-frequency therapy improves the supply of nutrients to the skin and boosts blood flow, which, as mentioned above, is particularly true of the orange electrodes. This conjures up a rosy complexion on the face and improves the general health and structure of our largest sensory organ. The metabolism stimulated by the high frequency also prevents wrinkles because the cells regenerate faster. With each therapy, the skin looks a little fresher, plumper and more even.

3. HIGH FREQUENCY THERAPY RELIEVES SWELLING

The high-frequency massage stimulates the lymph. This is a kind of waste water system of the body, since it channels toxins and waste products out of the organism. The stimulated lymph also causes excess fluids to move, which accumulate in the tissue and can cause swelling. With regular treatment, you can say goodbye to those annoying pads or swollen eyes and the contours look tighter.

Tip: It is best to stroke your face with the mushroom electrode along the lymph channels. Means: From the middle of the forehead towards the temples, from the nose below the eyes towards the temples, from the middle of the chin to the cheeks. On the neck, it is best to start below the chin and stroke straight down towards the collarbone.

4. OPTIMIZE NUTRITIONAL ABSORPTION

The innovative skin care stick makes the skin particularly receptive. Products that are applied after the therapy can be better absorbed and fully develop their effect. Whether it's a moisturizer or an anti-aging serum, the HF Wand takes your care routine to the next level.

5. PREVENTS HAIR LOSS

The device not only brings advantages for the facial skin: the therapy is intended to protect against hair loss and promote the health of hair and scalp. This is due to the improved blood circulation and nutrient supply.

HOW TO USE THE HIGH FREQUENCY ROD CORRECTLY

The stick is easy to use and is best used on a daily basis. And this is how it works in six steps:

1. In the first step, disinfect the electrodes (preferably with alcohol from the pharmacy) and clean the face thoroughly. The wand is used on dry skin. If you have problems, then use a hyaluronic serum. The latter allows the rod to slide better.

2. Then select the appropriate HF electrode with which you would like to start the application. Put this on the handpiece, connect the cable and adjust the intensity.

Tip: Beginners start with the lowest HF level. Once you get used to the power surges, you can gradually increase the intensity. You should also place your finger on the electrode after switching on to ground the device. Release your finger only when the electrode is on your face.

3. In the next step, move the applicator over the skin of the face in circular or stroking movements for a few minutes. If you remove the pad from your face to replace it, be sure to use your finger to ground again first.

4. You can then dab problem areas for a few seconds with a smaller attachment.

5. For best results, pamper your face with a soothing care product at the end. Aloe vera gels or hyaluronic acid serums have a calming and nourishing effect with moisture. Anti-aging active ingredients such as vitamin C, retinol or peptides, on the other hand, support skin tightening.

6. After use, you must disinfect the electrodes again.

Tip: Some users intensify the effect of the high-frequency wand by placing a gauze cloth on their face. This increases the distance between the electrode and the skin, making the current much more noticeable. However, this is optional. As a beginner, you should always start with direct skin contact and get used to the device first.
