26 Oct Beat Acne With This At Home Acne-Ending Gadget
Yup, it’s true, beat acne with this easy at-home gadget. I’ve shared on Instagram my love for my high-frequency machine but my love for this little machine has grown even more now that I’ve been experiencing acne. It’s one of the best under $30.00 investments I’ve ever made. This tool is super affordable and it will up your at-home skin game. I swear every time I use it I feel like I am some fancy esthetician cussing a cool futuristic skin tool.
The Benefits of a High Frequency Machine
- This little gadget produces an electrical current that generates oxygen when applied to the skin. What happens is oxygen travels into the skin to kill off the acne-causing bacteria.
- It also helps to reduce inflammation and redness within the blemish. I love using this on activity acne because shortens the lifespan of your acne.
- It is also known to help prevent any future breakouts, which is huge for me right now.
- Another huge plus is it helps reduce the post-inflammatory and some hyperpigmentation, which unfortunately is super common in women.
- Let it also be known: a high-frequency machine can help soften fine lines, reduce some puffiness around the eyes even tighten & tone sagging skin. It’s a little miracle machine and I am here to say it actually works.
What To Expect & How To Use It
The high-frequency machine I have and love comes with 4 different glass electrodes of different shapes to apply to different parts of the body. These glass electrodes will either produce a violet color or orange. Typically, violet electrodes help to treat acne-prone skin and orange was used to treat aging skin. But, from everything, I found both colors produce equally effective results despite the color of gas in the wand.
- Comb is for your hair, which I’ve never used
- Large round one is for your whole face, which is my fave
- Spoon shape is for under your eyes
- Small round tip to target acne
It is safe to use everyday and when I am having a breakout I use it daily.
- Wash your face & thoroughly dry your face
- Pick your electrode of choice & insert it into the wand
- Turn on the machine & turn the dial up so it is a slight tingle on the skin. Also test on the back of your hand before apply to your face.
- Start moving the want in circular motions, you can work on areas for no more than 3-5 minutes.
My Thoughts: When you apply to the skin there is a slight tingle, and this amazing mild zapping or buzzing sensation, I can’t describe it but it’s such a satisfying feeling. Remember the high-frequency current is infusing oxygen molecules into the skin which stimulating blood flow and cleaning the skin. If you are having an acne breakout I suggest using the machine 5-10 mins a day to see some results. You will notice some redness post-treatment due to increased circulation and dilation of the vessels.
How Safe is High Frequency Treatment?
This machine is a really great at-home way to safely treat your acne-prone skin. However, if you are pregnant, using AHA or glycolic acid products, have a pacemaker, any broken capillaries, spider veins or rosacea PLEASE avoid using a high-frequency machine.
I suggest adding in this easy at-home tool to enhance your skincare routine. I promise every time you use it, it feels like you are getting a mini facial.
