ooooh, everyone should get HF!!! If you don't have microcurrent or galvanic, HF is a great substitute. It works well for pigmentation and oxygenation. I always use it after exfoliation (whatever method you choose) and before a massage with ampoules. A Vit C facial with HF is a hit!!!

Monica, me again (tee hee) would you go into more details how HF is good for the skin in regards to using the ampoules does the HF create a deeper penetration of product?

Hi Rhonda

Honestly, I'm not sure how exactly it works.  I learned from a fellow aesthetician - and was very surprised to learn- that you can use compounds with HF.  She used it to go over masks, etc and she said the skin looks amazing after that.  So, I decided to give it a try and my gosh does it work!

So, I prep the skin (cleanse, exfoliate (whichever method you use), extractions if needed, etc), then I proceed with HF to disinfect (after extractions).  Then, I apply an ampoule (vit C, anything) and apply HF for a few minutes.  Then I massage with Oxygen Botanicals massage gel (ad verbatim from a client: "it feels so luxurious!!!") and then mask.   Just try it and let me know what results you get.  You can't go wrong :-) After more than 20 yrs in the business, I *just* learned this trick!! hehe

Question, when you are using the high frequency over the ampoule, are you using a piece of gauze? Or are you going directly over the skin with the electrode?

No gauze. Directly over skin because ampoules will give glide

Hi Lin,
Rita Page has a Facial Equipment Techniques video that shows how to use high frequency if you would like to see how she does the procedure during a facial. http://www.videoshelf.com/video/dvd/F8D_Facial_Equipment_Techniques...
