High Frequency Treatment
High frequency current is characterized by a high rate of oscillation. The primary action of this treatment is a reduction in pore size, reduction in sebum (oil) production and reducing the occurrence of blackheads. The treatment can be for the entire face or focusing on spot treatments. Great for hormonal breakouts that pop up every so often. Results are noticeable within days of the treatment. It is not painful and there is no irritation or downtime.

About Acne
Acne is often exacerbated by the presence of bacteria, particularly P.acnes (type of bacteria) which multiply in the sebaceous glands. The skin becomes inflamed when the body tries to fight these invaders. (Inflammation is something that is worth addressing/preventing since it can lead to acne scars).
Blue LED light therapy
It is often quite effective for acne by reducing colonies of bacteria responsible for acne and by exerting anti-inflammatory effects on the skin.
How it works
The L.E.D. penetrates into the dermis and slows sebaceous glands that create oils in the skin. LED works when the light is absorbed by the polyphorins which are produced by the bacterial cell bodies. This leads to the destruction of these organisms.
This treatment can help to prevent and control papules, pustules, and typical acne quite effectively. This treatment is not painful and there is no downtime, redness or peeling, in fact the skin is less red and inflamed post treatment.
Does it work on all acne
Yes but the results could vary. It does not address all the causes of acne such as non inflamed acne such as whiteheads and blackheads. Those tend to respond less effectively to the light and would benefit from facials, peels or microdermabrasion as the main treatment.
How often
Multiple treatments are required. Typically patients will come in for one or two treatments a week for 3-4 weeks or until improvement is visible. At that point we gradually decrease the frequency of treatments. The treatment only takes about 45 minutes and does not leave any visible signs that you have had a treatment done, it all takes place beneath the skin.
An at home regime would also be recommended as needed.
It is always best to have a consultation before the treatment.
