High frequency is a professional skin treatment that uses a gentle electrical current via a glass electrode to help purify the skin, reduce congestion and support overall skin clarity. At our clinic, we use the Zemits PureKio Professional device, a medical-grade aesthetic system designed to deliver controlled high frequency energy safely and effectively.

This treatment is commonly used to target breakouts, excess oil production and sluggish, congested skin, while also calming inflammation and promoting a clearer, healthier-looking complexion.

It is often used as part of a facial treatment or combined with other skin procedures to enhance overall results.

What Is High Frequency?

High frequency is a skincare treatment that uses a low-level electrical current delivered through a glass electrode. When applied to the skin, it creates a mild thermal and oxygenating effect that helps improve skin clarity and function.

The treatment produces a gentle electrical energy that helps to:

  • Oxygenate the skin surface

  • Reduce acne-causing bacteria

  • Improve circulation

  • Support skin healing and repair

At our clinic, we use the Zemits PureKio Professional, which allows for controlled and targeted application across different areas of the face.

What are the benefits of High Frequency?

  • Helps reduce active breakouts and congestion

  • Supports clearer, more balanced skin

  • Reduces excess oil production

  • Calms inflammation and redness

  • Helps minimise bacteria on the skin surface

  • Improves overall skin texture and clarity

  • Supports skin healing after extractions or facials

  • Non-invasive and painless treatment

  • No downtime

How Does High Frequency Work?

  • High frequency works by generating a mild electrical current through a glass electrode placed on the skin.

  • This process creates two key effects:

    • Oxygenating Effect = The current produces oxygen molecules at the skin surface, helping to reduce bacteria associated with breakouts and congestion.

    • Thermal Stimulation Effect = Gentle heat increases blood circulation, supporting skin healing and regeneration.

  • Together, these effects help to improve skin clarity, reduce inflammation and support a healthier skin environment.

Treatment Areas

High frequency can be used on multiple areas, including:

  • Face (full treatment)

  • T-zone (nose, forehead and chin)

  • Jawline and lower face (congestion-prone areas)

  • Back (acne-prone skin)

  • Chest (decolletage breakouts)

It is particularly effective for oily, combination or acne-prone skin types.

CONSULTATION
1

The process begins with a detailed skin consultation. Where we assess:

  • Skin congestion and breakout activity

  • Oil production levels

  • Skin sensitivity and barrier function

  • Existing skincare routine

  • Suitability for combination treatments

before treatment. 

TREATMENT
2

High frequency treatment is quick, comfortable and non-invasive, typically taking 10–20 minutes.

Your appointment includes:

  1. Skin cleansing and preparation

  2. Application of glass electrode to targeted areas

  3. Controlled high frequency treatment across the skin

  4. Optional spot treatment for active breakouts

  5. Soothing and hydrating post-treatment products

The sensation is usually described as a light tingling or warm “buzzing” feeling.

No anaesthetic is required.

AFTERCARE
3

Following treatment, we recommend:

  • Avoid touching or picking the skin immediately after treatment

  • Avoid active skincare (retinol, acids) for 24–48 hours if sensitivity occurs

  • Use gentle, hydrating skincare

  • Apply SPF daily

  • Avoid excessive heat (saunas/steam rooms) for 24 hours

Skin may feel slightly warm or flushed immediately after treatment, which usually settles quickly.
