What is high frequency facial therapy and what concerns does it help?

High frequency therapy is a classic facial add-on for people dealing with stubborn congestion, breakouts or sluggish, lacklustre skin.

 

Using a glass electrode that gently glides across the skin, it delivers a pleasant tingling sensation while helping to reduce surface bacteria, calm active blemishes and boost circulation. At The London Road Clinic, it’s often combined with cleansing, massage and masks so the experience still feels pampering, not harsh.

 

Clients like it when they keep getting small breakouts or want a “deep clean” feeling without aggressive peels. We’ll check your skin and any medical conditions first, as it isn’t suitable for everyone.

High Frequency - Electrical Current – Skin & Scalp

High-frequency therapy delivers a mild electrical current through a glass electrode to create oxygenating, antibacterial effects and gentle warmth. It’s used to calm breakouts, reduce surface bacteria and boost scalp vitality, and pairs well with facials for clearer, fresher-looking skin.

​

A pleasant tingling sensation is normal during treatment. There’s no downtime, and protocols are adjusted for sensitivity. Not suitable in pregnancy, epilepsy or with metal implants in the area—your therapist will check suitability first.
