How does “High Frequency” current, frequently used in skincare, affect acne-prone skin?

Update date: 11 June 2026

The High Frequency device works by stimulating neon or argon gas inside glass probes with an electric current. When the probe is in contact with the skin or slightly removed (spark technique), the oxygen molecules around the probe are converted into “Ozone (O3)” gas. Ozone gas is a very powerful antibacterial and antiseptic agent. It kills Cutibacterium acnes bacteria, which cause acne, within seconds. It also accelerates blood circulation in the area, increasing lymphatic drainage, quickly soothing the inflammation (swelling and redness) of active acne, and preventing the spread of acne.
