At-home high-frequency devices are gentle enough to be used daily (or as needed) for a few minutes. Provided the device is used safely and the energy level isn’t too high, there’s no risk of skin burns. The instrument will create a buzzing sound (nothing to be concerned about) that’s reminiscent of a bug zapper from summer camp.
Sometimes, post-treatment, the skin might appear red and sensitive. The secret to optimizing a high-frequency device’s effects at home is to maintain it approximately one-quarter inch away from the skin—the greater the distance, the longer the path for the electrodes to cover, enabling them to penetrate more deeply.
Enhancements in acne may be apparent as soon as a few hours after use, while it could require several months of regular usage to observe improvements in the skin’s quality.
