Is Direct High Frequency Treatment Good for Phoenix Weather?
Phoenix’s intense sun, dry air, and heat can leave skin oily, congested, irritated, or prone to breakouts. DHF addresses these issues perfectly by:
- Reducing excess oil production, which often spikes in hot weather and leads to clogged pores and acne.
- Killing acne-causing bacteria instantly, helping prevent breakouts that can worsen with sweat and heat.
- Soothing redness and inflammation caused by dryness, sun exposure, or heat rash.
- Boosting circulation to refresh dull, tired skin that can result from dehydration and desert climate stress.
- Tightening pores, which often enlarge due to sun damage and excessive oil.
How NeraStyles Can Help Phoenix Skin Thrive
At NeraStyles, we tailor your Direct High Frequency treatment to protect and restore balance to skin stressed by desert conditions. Combined with our hydration-focused facials and aftercare tips, DHF keeps your skin clear, calm, and glowing all year round—even under the Arizona sun.

How Does It Work?
A glass electrode is gently applied to the skin, delivering a mild electrical current that produces oxygen. This oxygen-rich environment destroys acne-causing bacteria and stimulates circulation, helping your skin heal faster and absorb serums more effectively.
Benefits of Direct High Frequency Treatment — Explained
Kills Acne Bacteria Instantly
What it Means:
The high-frequency device emits a mild electrical current that produces oxygen
molecules. These oxygen molecules kill acne-causing bacteria on contact.
Example:
You’ve got a breakout coming in, or you recently had extractions done and want
to prevent further pimples.
Solution:
The treatment disinfects the skin immediately, reducing the chance of
future breakouts or infections.
How NeraStyles Can Help:
Our licensed estheticians use ozone-safe glass electrodes that sanitize
your skin deeply after extractions or during acne flare-ups.
Reduces Oiliness and Tightens Pores
What it Means:
High frequency shrinks enlarged pores and helps regulate
sebaceous (oil) glands, which means less greasy skin.
Example:
Your makeup melts by noon, or you struggle with a shiny
T-zone every day.
Solution:
This treatment balances oil production and minimizes pore
appearance, giving your face a smoother finish.
How NeraStyles Can Help:
We target oily zones like the forehead, nose, and chin
during treatment to leave your skin matte and fresh—without over-drying it.
Boosts Skin Glow by Stimulating Circulation
What it Means:
The gentle current increases blood flow, which brings more oxygen and nutrients
to your skin cells—resulting in a natural, healthy glow.
Example:
Your skin feels dull, flat, or lifeless—especially after a long week or poor
sleep.
Solution:
Improved circulation revives tired-looking skin and enhances your
natural radiance over time.
How NeraStyles Can
Help:
Our estheticians pair DHF with light facial massage techniques or
glow-enhancing serums for maximum radiance in every session.
Soothes Redness and Inflammation
What it Means:
The treatment’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects help calm red,
irritated, or inflamed skin—especially after extractions.
Example:
You’ve had a facial and are left with redness, or you have a few painful,
inflamed pimples.
Solution:
The oxygenating effects reduce swelling and calm flare-ups, making your
skin feel and look better, faster.
How NeraStyles Can
Help:
We finish every treatment with cooling serums and LED therapy, when
needed, to enhance the calming effect.
Perfect 20-Minute Lunch-Break Treatment
What it Means:
It’s quick, effective, and doesn’t require any downtime—you can return to
work or errands right after.
Example:
You’re short on time, but want visible improvement before a big weekend or
after a breakout.
Solution:
You’ll get the benefits of a targeted skin treatment in less time than your
lunch break.
How NeraStyles Can
Help:
Our streamlined DHF protocol takes just 15–20 minutes, with no messy
cleanup or redness. Book ahead or walk in during your break!
Great Add-On to Express or Acne Facials
What it Means:
DHF enhances the effects of your facial, especially after deep cleansing or
extractions.
Example:
You’re already getting an Express or Acne Facial at NeraStyles and want a
little extra boost for longer-lasting results.
Solution:
Adding DHF helps your skin heal faster, stay clearer longer, and look
more polished.
How NeraStyles Can
Help:
We recommend DHF as an optional upgrade during facial services. Our
estheticians will guide you if it’s a fit for your skin that day.
What to Expect During Your Direct High Frequency Treatment
Total Treatment Time: 15–20 Minutes
What It Means:
This treatment is designed to be efficient—great for lunch breaks or
last-minute prep.
Example:
You pop in between meetings or before a night out.
Solution:
You leave with cleaner, calmer, glowier skin—with no downtime.
How NeraStyles Can
Help:
Our skilled staff keeps the process efficient but never rushed, and walk-ins
are welcome if you’re nearby in Phoenix 85041.
Step 1: Skin Consultation & Cleanse
What It Means:
Before we begin, your esthetician will evaluate your skin’s condition and
cleanse your face thoroughly.
Example:
You arrive with makeup, sunscreen, or leftover skincare products.
Solution:
We remove all surface debris and oil so that the treatment penetrates
effectively.
How NeraStyles Can
Help:
Our estheticians are trained to analyze your skin type on the spot and
use gentle, pH-balanced cleansers to prep your skin without irritation.
Step 2: Targeted Skin Assessment
What It Means:
We identify specific areas that need treatment—like breakouts, oily T-zones, or
post-extraction redness.
Example:
You might have active acne on the chin or oily patches on the forehead.
Solution:
The high frequency tool will be used only where it’s needed, so the
treatment is fully customized.
How NeraStyles Can
Help:
Your esthetician will explain your skin’s condition and recommend whether
DHF should be done alone or added to a facial.
Step 3: High Frequency Application Begins
What It Means:
A glass electrode is applied gently to your skin. It emits a mild electrical
current that creates oxygen molecules and kills bacteria.
Example:
You may hear a soft buzzing or feel a gentle tingling—this is completely normal
and pain-free.
Solution:
This part of the treatment oxygenates the skin, kills acne bacteria, and
stimulates circulation.
How NeraStyles Can
Help:
We use ozone-safe, high-quality electrodes, and our team talks you
through every sensation so you stay relaxed and informed.
Step 4: Cooling, Soothing Serum Application
What It Means:
After DHF is complete, we apply serums tailored to your skin type—like calming
aloe, vitamin C, or hydrating hyaluronic acid.
Example:
If your skin tends to get red or dry, we’ll soothe it instantly post-treatment.
Solution:
The high frequency treatment leaves your skin more receptive to serums,
so they penetrate deeper and work better.
How NeraStyles Can
Help:
We hand-pick professional-grade skincare for your needs and use
featherlight techniques to calm your skin post-treatment.
Step 5: Post-Treatment Advice & Aftercare
What It Means:
Your esthetician will explain what to do (and not do) after the treatment for
best results.
Example:
We may advise avoiding makeup, hot showers, or exfoliants for 24 hours.
Solution:
Proper aftercare extends the benefits of the treatment and prevents
irritation.
How NeraStyles Can
Help:
We’ll give you a simple take-home skincare tip sheet, and your
esthetician can recommend follow-up sessions based on your skin goals.
🎁 Bonus Touch: Aromatherapy & Relaxation Finish
What It Means:
To complete your treatment, we add a calming moment of relaxation using a warm
towel infused with essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus.
Example:
After the buzzing sensation of high frequency, you get a soothing scent and warm towel on your face for a spa-like pause.
Solution:
This brings down any residual tension, leaving your senses refreshed—and it
enhances the feel-good factor of your treatment.
How NeraStyles Can
Help:
At NeraStyles, we believe skincare should feel luxurious, not clinical.
This final touch helps you leave glowing and grounded, ready to take on
your day.
