Use on alternating current (not direct) that is measured in hertz.
Flows in excess of 100,000 - 500,000 hertz. The current oscillates very fast and does not stimulate muscles or nerves
There are two types of treatment from the same machine
Direct high frequency
Application directly onto the skin via a glass electrode using an
oxygenated cream (sodium perforate = solid oxygen) or gauze.
This when combined with moisture from the skin and heat from
the high frequency releases oxygen
Performed once a week
Indirect high frequency
Client holds the electrode and current is transmitted through the therapists hands,
creates warmth. On the carlton machine do not exceed the setting to more than 10
clock
