You shouldn't be doing it on yourself your suppost to have eye pads on and if you have eyepads on you can't see what your doing

Actually HF has been used since the very beginning as a self-treatment appliance (in the early 1900's). There is really no valid need for eyepads.

Didi,

I am also a licensed cosmetologist trained in hair, nails and skincare. However, unlike your original response to Jessica, I'd consider myself a professional. Whether your industry is law or skincare the expectation of a "professional' includes both expert level of training AND friendly, considerate and patient comportment. Going to get your 1600 hours is not the limit to define you as a professional, honey. You need to treat people with respect and dignity, essentially what you'd want from others. If you had treated Jessica with kindness and professionalism and suggested the possible problems and untrained person could encounter while using professional-grade equipment without adequate training and suggested treatments for her to get at your local spa or salon she might have decided to pamper herself to a quality spa treatment with a professional rather than use the machine herself. Thanks for making our industry seem as if it is filled with inconsiderate, childish, spiteful and petty people.

Jessica, I do hope that you have found information and guidance in safe usage of your high frequency machine. My apologies for Didi. She is not representative of our profession.

I have facial scars and am wondering if it will help reduce them if I use my portable high frequency machine on them? Also I am wondering if it is a bad idea to use the machine after i have picked at my face and there is a scab...will it help the healing in any way?

High Frequency used to be used by millions of americans for just about every medical problem known at the time. But then the FDA was formed and they required proof. Now, the only accepted use is it's anti-bacterial effect produced by the UV light generated by the bulb. I really think that MDA may be a better appoach. But, then again, it will depend on the type of scar which we are talking about.

Scar tissue diminishes through time. MDA helps to excelerate the turnover of skin cells. Through time it can make certain scars less obvious. There are also lasers. But those which are commonly known as ice-pick scars require fillers to raise the collapsed area.

A word of caution. MDA is a perfect example for the saying a little is good a lot is NOT. The object is to increase cell turnover. Not erasing a scar.

Hi. I am an electrologist and wanted to offer more services as in high frequency machines and similar services. I was wondering if there are any laws in new York state that would prevent me from doing this please let me know thanks

I am shopping for a high frequency machine and trying to get a higher quality machine than the UC-3500. There are so many machines out there with very few reviews. I need advice from an esthetician with experience in using a wide variety of HF machines. So far I've found:

1. HF-1000 PROFESSIONAL PORTABLE HIGH FREQUENCY MACHINE $525 from Palacia.
2. Mosty TP-A1003
3. Mosty M-203 (this one seems to be outdated)
4. Various units made by Fuji (these seem to be low-end to mid-range machines, but this is only a preliminary uneducated guess)
5. Palacia UC-3500 / Jellen / brightonbeautysupply UC-3500R (these all seem to be the same product, but I don't mind spending a little more money to get a higher powered machine with a more consistent oscillation rate)
and many more...

I'm not interested in replies that include lectures about using the machine while not being a professional in the field of skin care. I'm only interested a reply from anyone who can give a few names of some high quality machines that cost less than $600. Thank you :)

I use and recommend this one:

Thanks Jade, but I'm trying to get a higher powered machine with a more consistent oscillation rate than that model that you have listed in your post. Anyone else?

I agree with you 100% BRAVO!!!!!

You do not need any qualifications to use a High Frequency Machine. They are not a laser. They have been around since the 19th Century when they were widely used to kill bacteria, before the advent of anti-biotics. They were a common addition in most homes back then.

Thank you Jade. Very well said. Your statement is accurate, but Didi's statement is also accurate. Think about the small percentage of the population (of country X... lol) that is capable of going through the owners manual of a high frequency machine and have a complete 100% understanding of the concept of how it works and the associated safety hazards (even by means of further research beyond the manual). You Jade, already own a device and you probably have already gone through the manual and found it easy to follow and understand. That's because you're intelligent.

I'm still waiting for a response for my post (3 posts up), from anyone who has detailed knowledge about various high frequency machines on the market.
