Next we will exfoliate with a gentle and hydrating Caviar Lime & Passionfruit enzyme mask, getting rid of dead skin that creates unwanted texture. Using a Green Tea Kaolin clay mask, we will draw out impurities while delivering key nutrients that your skin desperately needs, with an Oxygen Infused Aloe & Chamomile mist helping calm redness and inflammation. This treatment also includes a High Frequency and LED Light Therapy upgrade, specifically chosen to help reduce your skin's oil production and acne breakouts. After this specialty facial, your skin will look and feel calm, tranquil, balanced and oil free.
WHAT IS HIGH FREQUENCY?
3. Anti-Bacterial Effects: High frequency has antimicrobial properties that can help kill acne-causing bacteria on the skin's surface. This can be beneficial for individuals with acne-prone or congested skin, as it helps reduce inflammation and prevent further breakouts.
4. Increased Product Absorption: The electrical current produced by high frequency can enhance the penetration and absorption of skincare products. When used in conjunction with serums or creams, it can assist in delivering the active ingredients deeper into the skin for better results.
Benefits of High Frequency in Skincare:
1. Acne Treatment: High frequency can target and eliminate acne-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation and promoting a clearer complexion.
2. Improved Circulation: The stimulation provided by high frequency can enhance blood circulation, which nourishes the skin cells and promotes a healthy, radiant appearance.
3. Skin Tightening: The mild electrical current can stimulate collagen and elastin production, which may help improve skin elasticity and firmness over time.
4. Reduced Puffiness: High frequency can help reduce swelling and puffiness by improving lymphatic drainage, minimizing the appearance of under-eye bags and puffiness.
5. Enhanced Product Absorption: By improving the skin's ability to absorb skincare products, high frequency can maximize the effectiveness of serums, creams, and other topical treatments.
Who is it good for?
High frequency treatments can benefit various skin types and concerns. It is particularly suitable for individuals with acne-prone skin, as it can help eliminate bacteria and reduce breakouts. It may also benefit those with dull complexions, uneven skin tone, fine lines, or mild sagging, as it can improve circulation and promote a more youthful appearance. However, if you have severe skin conditions or specific medical concerns, it's advisable to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional before incorporating high frequency into your skincare routine.
In skincare, high frequency refers to a cosmetic treatment that utilizes a high-frequency electrical current to promote healthy skin. It involves the use of a high-frequency device that generates a gentle electrical current and directs it to the skin's surface.
Here's how high frequency works and what it does:
1. Stimulation: The high-frequency device produces a mild oscillating electrical current, typically in the range of 100,000 to 250,000 Hertz. When applied to the skin, it stimulates the underlying tissues and nerves, producing a tingling or warming sensation.
2. Oxygenation: The electrical current also generates oxygen molecules (O2) and releases them into the skin. This enhances blood circulation, which helps deliver oxygen-rich blood to the treated area. Improved oxygenation can give the skin a revitalized and glowing appearance.
WHAT IS LED LIGHT THERAPY?
LED light therapy in skincare is a non-invasive treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to provide various benefits to the skin. LED stands for "Light Emitting Diode," and the therapy involves exposing the skin to specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity.
Here's how LED light therapy works:
1. Wavelengths: Different colors of light have different wavelengths and penetrate the skin to various depths. Common LED colors used in skincare include red, blue, and near-infrared.
2. Red Light: Red light has a wavelength of around 620-700nm and is primarily used for anti-aging purposes. It stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, promotes blood circulation, and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun
damage.
3. Blue Light: Blue light has a wavelength of around 405-470nm and is mainly used to target acne and bacteria on the skin. It helps kill the bacteria that cause acne, reduces inflammation, and improves overall skin clarity.
4. Near-Infrared Light: Near-infrared light has a wavelength of around 700-1000nm and can penetrate deeper into the skin. It stimulates healing, reduces inflammation, and promotes overall skin rejuvenation.
Benefits of LED light therapy in skincare:
1. Skin Rejuvenation: LED light therapy stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which helps improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and promote a more youthful appearance.
2. Acne Treatment: Blue light therapy targets the bacteria responsible for acne breakouts, helping to reduce inflammation and promote clearer skin.
3. Increased Circulation: LED light therapy improves blood circulation, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells. This can result in a healthier and more radiant complexion.
4. Reduced Inflammation: LED light therapy has anti-inflammatory properties and can help soothe redness, irritation, and swelling associated with various skin conditions.
5. Accelerated Healing: Near-infrared light stimulates the healing process in the skin, making it beneficial for post-treatment recovery or wound healing.
Who is LED light therapy good for?
LED light therapy is generally safe and suitable for most skin types and conditions. It can benefit individuals looking to improve skin tone and texture, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, treat acne, and promote overall skin health. However, it is always recommended to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional to determine if LED light therapy is appropriate for your specific needs.
