I'm in esthetics school, and the gauze are simply used to help the device move across the skin, that's really the only reason for them. If your doing this at home there's no need for a gauze, your still going to get the same effect. Just remember keep moving the device, don't keep it in one spot or it can cause hyper-pigmentation.

bought one of this for me a year ago. can’t live without it. it’s become part of my skin care. i do it on my face once or twice a week (depending if i have any acne) and on my hair every 2 days to prevent hair loss. my pores are so much smaller almost invisible in some places and it helps me so much to reduce any spots when i do have them (since using i rarely have any acne).

There are 2 types of high frequency treatments: direct high frequency and indirect high frequency. The one shown in the video is direct, it's great for oily, congested and blemish prone skin. With indirect high frequency, the client holds the rod with the current and it is put through their body. The therapist then massages, allowing the current to go through them too. Indirect HF is better for dry/mature skin and is used in Vietnamese massage!

I Think she already had a Beautiful skin

This looks like a really cool procedure, but straight up, the esthetician's explanation of the science was not right.

[holisticmaya]

Should've made a before and after!

I've always had 1 of these in my house. Very inexpensive. Great for acne or lymphatic drainage which helps with wrinkles/folds/jowls.

I’ve done like 40 classes with Dermalogica in LA but never once got a real facial from them. I’ve always wanted one.. I love the choreography of the cleansing and massage.

There's this dermatologist clinic in Korea where they treat acne. They do facials there to eliminate the acne and moisturise and do that zapping thing so that there will be fewer acne.

How is the esthetician wearing piercing if she's doing a high frequency facial when I was in school that's the first thing they tell us not to do, no jewelry on us or the client because we can be shocked

I am a beautician and when I am using this device I always put calming cream on the skin and then gauze in order to avoid redness on it.

Nice to see one of my 7th grade students from Alameda is doing great things. Watching you from kuwait where our work/teach

[candyrox]

These work so well! My skin is acne free and I have no more bumps nor red skin

[Rebelmutt]

Ulta has it apart of their facial for 75 dollars and the entire facial is an hour this part of the routine took about 10-15 mins loved it

[Darknefarious]

omg, she bullshitted some science history stuff hahaha

[brandyyolidio]

I really like your speaking voice. It really bums me out when some of the people on youtube I want to watch have that high pitched, overly loud, I just drank 10 cups of expresso voice...do you know what I mean??? Well, anyway great voice...great video

[kristenknightmusic]

you can do this at home I do it a couple times a weeks and it works great for cystic acne! I'm now see if it works for my enlarged pores.

[sabitarani]

She's living the life of my dreams.

[videoaddict]

would have liked to learn more about the science.. referencing studies

[fiascbx]

Would love to see her face without makeup on at the end.
