What presents higher risk for causing skin burns in high-frequency treatments?

In high-frequency treatments, excessive intensity can lead to a higher risk of skin burns. High-frequency current generates heat as it passes through the tissue, and when the intensity is too high, it increases this heat generation to a point where it can surpass the skin's tolerance. This can result in superficial burns or other adverse skin reactions.

Proper management of intensity is crucial to ensuring safety during these treatments. While lower intensities and shorter durations generally reduce the risk of burns, excessive intensity compromises this safety margin, making it essential for electrologists to adhere to recommended intensity levels to prevent harm to the skin. Adequate training and awareness of the treatment parameters are key to effective and safe high-frequency application.
