Savvy clients have moved beyond feel-good treatments and are looking toward result-oriented skin care to target specific skin conditions and address their individual concerns. This is especially true when it comes to treating mature or aging skin as this demographic is very often educated on the topic and willing to invest in skin care treatments and modalities that deliver results.
Turning to equipment or devices to treat skin is nothing new. The first high-frequency machine was developed by the scientist Nikola Tesla in the late 1800s. It was later used for medical purposes mainly as an antibacterial treatment before antibiotics were available. The French biophysicist Jacques-Arsène d'Arsonval later pioneered the use of high-frequency current in skin care treatments, and Elizabeth Arden helped popularize its use by introducing her Vienna Youth Mask in 1928, a device which claimed to have a rejuvenating effect by stimulating the circulation of blood through the facial tissues.1 High-frequency has been a treatment staple ever since.

Lila Castellanos has focused her energies into the beauty industry for the past 19 years, specializing in skin rejuvenation. As a licensed aesthetician, she has lent her expertise to several different environments including working as a paramedical aesthetician in the medical spa field as well as in both day spa and mobile spa business models. It was through these varied experiences, along with the interactions with her loyal clientele, that she honed her passion for improving and maintaining the health and integrity of her clients’ skin. Castellanos thrives on being able to use her extensive knowledge to customize each treatment to help her clients achieve the results they are searching for. Her adaptability and versatility are equally impressive in providing antiaging facials, treating acne, and minimizing the appearance of scarring or when addressing skin conditions that arise as a result of hormonal changes.
