What is the most commonly used electrode on the face during direct high frequency treatments?

The most commonly used electrode on the face during direct high frequency treatments is the mushroom electrode. This specific type of electrode is favored for its design, which allows for effective and uniform application of the high frequency current over larger areas of the skin. Its rounded shape is particularly beneficial for treating the delicate facial structure, enabling it to cover broader areas while still providing targeted energy to promote skin healing, stimulate blood circulation, and enhance product absorption.

In the context of facial treatments, the mushroom electrode is ideal for conditions such as acne, as it can help to disinfect and reduce inflammation due to its ozone generating properties during treatment. Its design also makes it easy to maneuver around the contours of the face, ensuring a comprehensive treatment without causing discomfort. Other electrode types may be more suitable for specific local treatments or hard-to-reach areas, but for general facial use, the mushroom electrode is the preferred choice among practitioners.
