What should the intensity of direct high frequency be when treating sensitive areas?

When treating sensitive areas with direct high frequency, it is crucial to lower the intensity to ensure patient comfort and safety. Sensitive areas, such as around the eyes or on thin skin, can be more reactive to electrical stimulation. Using a high intensity in these zones could result in discomfort, irritation, or even damage to the skin.

Starting with a lower intensity allows the practitioner to gauge the client's tolerance and response. It ensures that the treatment remains effective while minimizing any potential adverse effects. By adapting the intensity to suit the individual’s sensitivity, the treatment can be both safe and effective, promoting beneficial outcomes without overwhelming the skin.
