Why Every Salon Should Offer High Frequency Facials in 2025
The Rise of Results-Driven Beauty in 2025
The beauty industry in 2025 is all about skin health, non-invasive results, and value-packed experiences. Clients aren’t just chasing glow — they’re asking, “What’s the science behind this treatment?” and “Will it actually work for my skin?”
Enter the high frequency facial — a trusted, technology-backed treatment that’s quickly becoming a must-have service in forward-thinking salons across the UK.
As a salon owner or therapist, adding high frequency to your facial menu isn’t just about trend-chasing. It’s about staying relevant, competitive, and offering real skin transformation that keeps clients coming back.
What Is a High Frequency Facial? (And Why Is It So Popular Now?)
High frequency facials use a glass electrode filled with argon or neon gas to deliver a low-level electrical current to the skin. This current produces oxygen and light energy that targets multiple skin issues in one go.
Clients love it because it:
Clears acne and congestion
Stimulates circulation and oxygenates the skin
Shrinks pores and reduces inflammation
Boosts collagen and elasticity
Leaves skin visibly firmer and brighter
And unlike chemical peels or needling, it’s painless, quick, and zero-downtime — ideal for busy clients and sensitive skin types.
Why It’s a Game-Changer for Salons
In our salon, we saw facial bookings increase by 27% after adding high frequency. Why? Because clients see a difference — sometimes even after just one session.
Offering high frequency facials helps salons:
Differentiate themselves from basic spa menus
Upsell within facial packages or courses
Treat both teens with acne and mature clients with fine lines
Build long-term client loyalty through visible skin improvements
It’s also incredibly cost-effective to perform, especially with tools like our High Frequency Wand Sets.
What Do Clients Say?
One of our regulars, Sarah (42), had this to say:
“I came in with breakouts and puffy skin, and after my second high frequency facial, I left glowing. I don’t even wear foundation anymore.”
Another client, 17-year-old Mia, booked a course of 4 treatments and saw her teenage acne clear dramatically — without harsh medications.
How to Introduce High Frequency into Your Treatment Menu
Start with Staff Training: Even though it’s easy to use, proper technique is key. Make sure your team understands how to select the right electrode and how long to use it.
Bundle It: Create facial packages that include high frequency as an upgrade. For example: “Glow Boost Facial + High Frequency Lift.”
Show the Results: Before/after photos, client testimonials, and short reels make a huge difference in selling the service.
Retail Add-Ons: Pair with serums and masks for post-treatment aftercare. Educate your clients so they continue their skincare journey at home.
The Earning Potential
Let’s break it down. A high frequency facial can cost £45–£85, depending on the area and whether it’s part of a longer facial. The device pays for itself within a few treatments — and requires no consumables.
Upsell ideas:
Acne facial course (4 sessions)
Glow-up monthly facial subscription
Add-on for radio frequency or hydrafacial clients
Final Thoughts
2025 is not the year to offer the same old facial menu. Clients expect innovation, results, and treatments that work without recovery time. High frequency facials tick every box.
They’re easy to implement, profitable to run, and deliver genuine skin benefits your clients will rave about.
If you haven’t added it yet, now’s the time.
