2. Heart conditions - Those with pacemakers or other heart conditions should avoid high-frequency facials as the electrical current may interfere with the pacemaker's function or cause other cardiac issues.

3. Metal implants - If you have metal implants in your body, such as dental implants or joint replacements, high-frequency facials may not suit you as the electrical current may interfere with these implants.

4. Epilepsy - Those who suffer from epilepsy should avoid highfrequency facials as the electrical current may trigger a seizure.

5. Open wounds - If you have any open wounds or lesions on your face, high-frequency facials should be avoided, as the electrical current may cause further damage or delay healing.

6. Skin conditions - Individuals with certain skin conditions, such as rosacea or eczema, may not be suitable candidates for highfrequency facials as the treatment may exacerbate their condition or cause further irritation.
