Who is advised not to receive high frequency treatments?

High frequency treatments, which utilize oscillating electrical currents to promote healing and improve skin conditions, are contraindicated for individuals with pacemakers or metal implants. This group is advised against such treatments because the electrical currents can interfere with the functioning of medical devices like pacemakers, potentially causing harmful effects.

The presence of metal implants can also pose risks due to the possibility of the electrical current passing through the metal, leading to unintended consequences. Therefore, ensuring the safety of clients with these medical devices is essential in esthetic practices. Other conditions, while they may require caution, do not present the same level of risk as the presence of pacemakers or metal implants does in relation to high frequency treatments.
