What should a practitioner do to prevent discomfort when using a high frequency machine?

Maintaining constant contact with the skin while using a high frequency machine is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it helps to create a continuous flow of current, which ensures that the electrical energy is evenly distributed across the skin. This minimizes the risk of localized overheating or excessive current concentration, both of which could lead to discomfort or even mild burns.

Additionally, constant contact helps to reduce sensations that can be perceived as uncomfortable or startling, such as the tingling or sparking that can occur if the electrode is lifted away from the skin. By keeping the electrode in continuous contact, the practitioner can provide a smoother and more enjoyable experience for the client.

Moreover, constant contact aids in the effective treatment of specific skin concerns, such as acne or aging, by ensuring that the intended areas receive the appropriate treatment without interruption. It fosters a safer and more controlled environment for the application of high frequency therapy, making it an essential practice for practitioners looking to deliver effective and comfortable treatments.
