Microcurrent Training

As part of our Facial Skincare Program at Beauty and Health Institute, our high-frequency training starts with not just how to hold the electrode, but why it works. You’ll learn how an electrical current can kill bacteria on contact, soothe redness after extractions, and help serums sink deeper into skin. It’s been around for decades, but few estheticians truly understand how to use it well. We also go deep into theory, and start you right away with hands-on training.

Why Estheticians in Florida Are Turning to High Frequency

In Tampa, high frequency has become the silent differentiator between technicians who finish facials and professionals who complete them. Most salons treat it as an optional add-on.

But in clinics that see repeat clients every 4–6 weeks, it’s built into the protocol because it changes how skin recovers. You’ll learn how to integrate it not as a treatment, but as a recovery tool: when to use it on post-peel sensitivity, how it calms microtrauma from dermaplaning, and why it’s safer than cryo or laser for reactive skin types common in Florida.

But if you want clients to come back month after month without needing stronger products or more aggressive tools, this is how you build that foundation.

Apply direct HF post-extraction
Use indirect HF with damp gauze to soothe irritation and stimulate collagen
Modify intensity based on skin sensitivity

What You Will Learn

Alternating currents
The difference between direct (violet ray) and indirect (gauze wrap)
Why certain electrodes work better for certain skin types
How high frequency enhances penetration of serums and topical treatments
Safety procedures

High-Frequency Isn’t Just Another Tool

We believe the key to high frequency is seeing it as a control point rather than just an extra step. When applied correctly after extraction, it reduces microbial load on freshly opened pores, meaning it lowers the chance of re-infection within 24 hours. A very important factor in all skin treatments and skincare courses.

When used over post-peel or dermaplaning zones, it minimizes erythema without cooling gels or anti-inflammatory creams. You’ll learn how long to hold each electrode over the nose versus the jawline, how intensity changes with skin thickness, and how to recognize when a client’s reaction is normal versus a sign of overstimulation.

At BHI, you won’t just practice on mannequins. You’ll do this on live clients daily under instructor review, logging responses, adjusting technique based on feedback, until you don’t have to think about the settings. You just know what to do.
