High-Frequency for Hair Growth: How It Works

If you're struggling with thinning hair, slow growth, or an unhealthy scalp, a high-frequency wand might be the game-changer your hair routine needs. This non-invasive, at-home device stimulates blood circulation, oxygenates the scalp, and promotes hair follicle health—all essential for stronger, fuller hair. Let’s dive into how high-frequency wands work, their benefits, and how to use them properly for optimal hair growth.

What Is a High-Frequency Wand?

A high-frequency wand is a handheld device that uses a low-level electrical current to improve skin and scalp health. It has a glass electrode filled with either argon or neon gas, which emits a gentle electrical current when applied to the skin or scalp.

• Argon gas (violet light): Primarily used for acne treatments due to its antibacterial properties.
• Neon gas (orange light): More effective for stimulating hair growth and providing anti-aging benefits.

When used on the scalp, the electrical current increases blood flow, enhances oxygen delivery, and has antimicrobial effects, creating an environment for healthier follicles and stronger hair growth.

Benefits of Using a High-Frequency Wand for Hair Growth

Regular use of a high-frequency wand on the scalp can:

✔ Stimulate blood circulation – Delivers more oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles, promoting growth.

✔ Reduce DHT buildup – Helps prevent DHT, a hormone linked to hair loss, from attaching to follicles.

✔ Keep the scalp clean – The antimicrobial effects eliminate bacteria and fungi that can inhibit hair growth.

✔ Enhance product absorption – Prepares the scalp for better absorption of hair growth serums.

✔ Improve exfoliation – When paired with chemical exfoliation, it helps remove buildup that may be blocking hair growth.

✔ Non-invasive & easy to use – An at-home alternative to harsh treatments or expensive in-office procedures.

How Does a High-Frequency Wand Work for Hair Growth?

The wand emits a low-level electrical current that stimulates the scalp and enhances circulation, which in turn:

• Increases blood flow to hair follicles, ensuring they receive more nutrients for growth.
• Produces ozone when the gas-filled electrode touches the skin, which has powerful antimicrobial effects to keep the scalp healthy.
• Breaks down DHT before it can attach to hair follicles, helping to prevent hair loss.

By creating the ideal scalp environment, a high-frequency wand supports hair regrowth and minimizes thinning over time.

How to Boost Results with Hair Growth Serums & Scalp Exfoliation

Pairing high-frequency treatments with a hair growth serum can significantly improve results. The increased circulation enhances the absorption of active ingredients, making serums more effective in strengthening follicles and promoting growth.

To further improve serum penetration, you can exfoliate your scalp 1-2 times a week using the StackedSkincare TCA Lactic & Glycolic Body Peel.

How to Use the StackedSkincare Body Peel on Your Scalp:

1. Start with a dry scalp. Apply a thin layer of the peel to targeted areas, focusing on spots with buildup or thinning hair.
2. Leave it on for 1-3 minutes. If you’re new to scalp exfoliation, start with a shorter time to prevent irritation.
3. Rinse thoroughly. Follow with a gentle shampoo to cleanse the scalp.
4. Apply a hair growth serum. The exfoliation preps the scalp, allowing the serum to absorb deeper and work more effectively.

When Will You See the Results?

• Within a few weeks: You may notice new baby hairs and improved scalp health.
• 3-6 months: Consistent use can lead to visible thickness and stronger strands.
• 6-12 months: More significant hair regrowth, similar to other long-term hair treatments like minoxidil.

How to Use a High-Frequency Wand on Your Scalp

1. Start with a clean, dry scalp – Avoid using on wet hair.
2. Choose the comb electrode – This attachment is designed specifically for the scalp.
3. Turn on the wand and select a low setting – Gradually increase the intensity as you get used to the sensation.
4. Move the electrode across your scalp – Glide the comb through your hair, focusing on thinning areas.
5. Limit sessions to 5-7 minutes – Do not stay in one area for more than a minute.
6. Apply a hair growth serum post-treatment – The wand improves circulation, which enhances serum absorption for better overall effectiveness.

How Often Should You Use High-Frequency for Hair Growth?

• Use daily for 5-7 minutes per session.
• Stay consistent for at least 3-6 months.
• Combine with scalp exfoliation – Using the StackedSkincare Body Peel 1-2 times a week preps the scalp for better serum absorption.
