Can I use high-frequency skin therapy wand if I have metal in my face from jaw surgery?

Question

I bought a high-frequency skin therapy wand from amazon to help with acne. Now I'm seeing it is sometimes contraindicated with braces, jewelry, and some metal fillings. Can I still use this if I have screws in my face from Jaw surgery that was done 7 years ago?

Dear Whitney7811,Hello and thank you for your inquiry. I would recommend that you schedule an appointment with a board certified dermatologist in your area for a treatment plan. Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin condition. Most typically, this condition continuously changes in its distribution and severity. Usually, treatment is necessary for many months and sometimes years. I agree with the comments below, your best option is to have your acne treated, and a suitable skincare regimen which includes SPF, as well as monthly facial treatments by a licensed aesthetician. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question. My suggestion would be to use your "high-frequency skin therapy wand" to see if it can help you find a computer so that you can find a local skin care specialist or dermatologist to address your acne. If you bought it on Amazon, chances are it doesn't do anything at all. You would be better off to see a medical professional and get on a regimen of high-quality medical-grade skin care and support.Good luck!Dallas R.
