How to Use a High Frequency Wand at Home (Step-by-Step)

High frequency devices aren’t new—they’ve been a staple in professional facials for decades. But now, you can get the same glow-boosting, acne-fighting results at home.

What Is a High Frequency Wand?

A high frequency wand uses a low-level electrical current to generate ozone, which kills acne-causing bacteria on the surface of your skin. It also boosts circulation, reduces inflammation, and helps prevent future breakouts.

Some attachments can even stimulate your scalp and support healthier hair growth.

How Does High Frequency Work?

• 🔬 Kills acne-causing bacteria with ozone
• 💆♀️ Boosts circulation and lymphatic drainage
• 🔥 Calms inflammation and speeds healing
• 🌱 Promotes healthier skin and scalp

How to Use a High Frequency Wand

1. Start with clean, dry skin. Use after cleansing and patting your face dry.
2. Insert the electrode. Choose your preferred electrode and gently insert it into the wand.
3. Turn on and adjust. Slowly increase intensity until you feel a light tingling.
4. Glide or tap. Move in circles for general treatment, or gently tap on blemishes.
5. Finish with skincare. Follow with EGF Serum and Microbiome Moisturizer.

How Often Should You Use It?

You can use your high frequency wand every evening or every other day depending on skin sensitivity. Limit treatment to 10 minutes max per session.

Can You Use It with Other Products?

Yes. In fact, pairing your high frequency wand with actives like the TCA Multi-Acid Face Peel can enhance results. Just be sure to use high frequency first, then apply your peel.

This tool is ideal for:

• ✔️ Anyone dealing with breakouts or cystic acne
• ✔️ Skin that’s inflamed, red, or recovering from irritation
