Why a High Frequency Wand Is the Swiss-Army Knife Of Skincare

If I told you that there is an at-home skincare [1] device that can treat stubborn acne, aid in collagen production, reduce the appearance of pores, fine lines, and wrinkles, and do so much more, you'd probably think I'm wishfully dreaming. However, this high frequency wand from Amazon [2] honestly may be the most underrated skincare device on the market especially, for its anti-ageing and acne-diminishing, antibacterial benefits. This safe and affordable gadget suits all skin types, including sensitive, and has pretty much been my go-to tool to keep my skin's inflammation and oil production at bay.

The Apreuty High Frequency Machine [3] ($30) comes with four heads and can be used to target different concerns. The circular mushroom-head tube is for broad areas like the cheeks and forehead, the oval tongue-shaped tube is for sensitive areas such as de-puffing the under eyes, and the bent tube with a pointed end is for spot treating acne.

I recommend using the Apreuty High Frequency Machine [4] ($30) close to your skin rather than on your skin for a more targeted, intense approach. If you leave a gap between the device and your skin, the current goes deeper into the skin. I prefer to cleanse my skin first, then use the high-frequency wand on dry skin for ten minutes in small, circular motions all over my face, and finish off my routine with my skincare products. With consistent use, my skin is less irritated and reactive, and the texture is much smoother than before. It definitely works as an effective spot treatment for active acne, including cystic acne, due to its antibacterial properties. It's one of those devices that will help you not overload your skin with actives.

The Apreuty High Frequency Machine [5] ($30) is not only beneficial for your skin, it's pretty much a game-changer for your scalp and overall hair health. By enhancing blood circulation and regulating oil production, the high-frequency device balanced out my scalp, relieving it from constant dry patches and itchiness. The comb attachment allows you to target all areas of your scalp and nourish each hair follicle to stimulate it to grow.

As always, it's important to properly disinfect the Apreuty High Frequency Machine [6] ($30) before and after every treatment to reap the most benefits, or else you're just negating its effects by spreading around bacteria. I highly suggest testing it out on your arm to make sure the frequency strength is okay. Start at the lowest level, then gradually increase as you get more comfortable with the device. It's also imperative that you use this device on dry skin and hair; using it on soaking wet skin or hair can cause a shock - trust me, it's not fun. The high-frequency wand provides immediate results but also long-term benefits with consistent use. It has become a staple in my nighttime routine as I unwind before bed, providing me with a luxury at-home spa treatment without breaking the bank.
