Hold the Electrode: Hold the selected electrode firmly and gently place it on the skin. Ensure that the electrode
is making good contact with the skin surface.

Move the Electrode Over the Skin: Glide the electrode over the treatment area in circular or sweeping motions.
The goal is to cover the entire area affected by acne.
Focus on Problematic Areas: Spend extra time on areas with active breakouts or acne-prone areas. The high-
frequency current has antimicrobial properties and can help reduce bacteria on the skin.
Avoid Eye Area: Be cautious and avoid the eye area when using the high-frequency machine. Do not use the
machine on open wounds or active lesions.
Limit Treatment Time: Keep each treatment session relatively short, typically around 5-10 minutes. Overusing
the high-frequency machine may cause irritation.

Post-Treatment Care: After the high-frequency treatment, you can follow up with your regular skincare routine.
Apply a soothing, non-comedogenic moisturizer to hydrate the skin.
Consistency is Key: For best results, use the high-frequency machine consistently. Depending on your skin’s
response, you may use it a few times a week.
Clean the Electrodes: Wipe the electrodes clean with a disinfectant or alcohol swab after each use to maintain
hygiene.

Benefits of High-Frequency Treatment for Acne:
Oxygenation and Improved Circulation: High-frequency treatments increase blood circulation, helping deliver
more oxygen to the skin cells and promoting a healthier complexion.

Reduces Inflammation: The high- frequency current has anti- inflammatory effects, which can help reduce
redness and inflammation associated with acne.
Antimicrobial Properties: High- frequency machines produce ozone, which has antimicrobial properties. This
can help kill acne-causing bacteria on the skin.
Enhanced Product Absorption: The treatment can improve the penetration of topical skincare products, allowing
them to be more effectively absorbed by the skin.

Overall Skin Improvement: Regular use of a high-frequency machine may contribute to an overall improvement
in the skin’s appearance, including reduced acne breakouts.
3 Microdermabrasion Machine: Exfoliates the top layer of skin, removing dead cells and unclogging pores to
prevent and treat acne.
1 Choose the Right Microdermabrasion Machine: There are different types of microdermabrasion machines,
including crystal-based and crystal-free (diamond-tip) machines. Choose a machine that suits your preference
and skin type.
2 Cleanse Your Skin: Start with clean, dry skin. Use a gentle cleanser to remove any makeup, oil, or debris from
your face.
