Question about safety of high frequency skin care devices

Hello,
I hope someone here can help me out.
I came across these devices at amazon.
One is called: "AE Darsonval Frequency Machine"

I wanted to try them especially on the scalp to increase blood flow. I was thinking maybe this helps with hair loss.

But this stuff can also be used directly on the skin. What worries me however is how safe this is.

I read that this can be used to remove pigmentations and moles on the skin. This doesn't sound safe to me.
Moles also must not be lasered cause then you can't determine wether the mole was benign or not. Even if this device could remove a mole then I don't think it would be safe.

Does anyone here use something like this?

I also read that some people use it around the eyes against wrinkles but is this really safe?

Also does the company matter? I realized that there are many of these tools which all look the same made my different companies.

Hi hodor,

Here is the big high frequency thread where the D'arsonval and other high frequency devices are discussed at length:

Havana has pointed you to the same place I was going to.

I use a Darsonval Frequency Machine, and have used it directly on my son’s skins when they were teenagers too and had ocassional break outs and it worked a treat for them. You say you are worried about how safe it is on the skin – well they are fine and it was over 10 years ago and I have used it probably longer than them (although not regularly).

Whilst it can be used on skin and on moles, I don’t think the manufacturers state that it can remove moles. Not all moles are the same after all, I think what they mean is it can be used safely on the skin. The Darsonval has a comb attachment which is great for treating the scalp and look at Tonya Zavastro’s videos too as she demonstrates using one and runs it across her skin which is beautiful!
