The primary action of high frequency current is thermal (heat producing) and is characterized by a high rate of oscillation. Due to its rapid rate of oscillation, high frequency does not cause muscular contractions - instead, it works on the principle of skin toning.

Compact versions of the technology may be purchased by professionals and home users experienced in the application of high frequency.
