How High Frequency Helps Cystic Acne Heal Faster

How High Frequency Helps Cystic Acne Heal Faster

Cystic acne isn’t your average breakout. These deep, painful blemishes live below the surface and can take weeks to heal. But that doesn’t mean you have to wait it out. High frequency technology is a powerful, non-invasive way to target cystic acne from the inside out—without stripping your skin or causing further irritation.

What Is Cystic Acne?

Cystic acne forms when pores become deeply clogged with oil, bacteria, and dead skin. The result? Swollen, red, and often painful bumps that don’t respond to surface treatments like spot creams or scrubs.

Why High Frequency Works for Cystic Acne

  • Clears acne-causing bacteria: The device generates ozone, which penetrates deep into the skin to kill the bacteria that cause breakouts.
  • Reduces inflammation: It calms redness and swelling fast, making cystic bumps feel less tender and look less angry.
  • Speeds healing: Boosted circulation helps skin repair itself more quickly, shortening the lifespan of blemishes.
  • Prevents scarring: Early treatment with high frequency can minimize the risk of post-acne marks and pigmentation.

How to Use High Frequency on Cystic Breakouts

Use the device once a day or every other day, depending on your skin’s sensitivity. Gently glide the tip over the affected area or lightly tap it for 1–2 minutes. You’ll feel a slight tingling—that’s the ozone doing its job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does high frequency really work for cystic acne?

Yes. It kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and helps blemishes heal faster when used consistently.

Can I use it with other acne treatments?

Yes—but avoid using it directly after applying products with glycolic or salicylic acid. Use it after cleansing, then follow with serums.

How soon will I see results?

Most users see a reduction in swelling and redness after one use. Full healing typically takes 1-2 weeks with consistent use, but this is dependent upon the severity of the acne.

Is it safe for hormonal acne?

Absolutely. It’s gentle enough for sensitive, hormonal skin and helps prevent deeper breakouts.

Is this safe for pregnancy?

No. High-frequency devices should not be used while pregnant.
