Beauty Babble

High Frequency: Overused or Understood?

High frequency is found in almost every treatment room… but is it actually being used with intention, or has it become a default step in modern facial treatments? In this episode of Beauty Babble, Suzanne breaks down high frequency from a clinical decision-making perspective, shifting the focus away from routine use and toward understanding when, why, and how it should actually be applied. Rather than treating it as a “step in a facial,” this conversation explores high frequency as a tool that requires intention, observation, and skin-specific thinking. You’ll learn: • Why high frequency became a default step in many facial protocols • The difference between direct and indirect application • How skin condition should guide your decision-making • When high frequency adds value — and when it doesn’t • Common misuse patterns in treatment rooms today • How to move from routine-based practice to intentional treatment planning This episode is designed to support professional estheticians in building confidence with modalities through better understanding, not repetition of steps. ✨ Suzanne is a CIDESCO-certified esthetician, former spa owner, and educator with over 30 years of experience in the professional beauty industry. She specializes in advanced esthetics education, treatment strategy, and professional development for beauty professionals across Canada. 📌 If you enjoyed this episode, let me know in the comments, your feedback helps shape future education topics. 👍 If you found value in this conversation, a like helps support this content and shows that you want more clinical, real-world education like this. 📤 Share this with a fellow professional if you think it will support their practice.

The Emotional Side of the Treatment Room

Beauty Professionals & Mental Health Awareness What we do as beauty professionals goes far beyond skin. In this episode of Beauty Babble, Suzanne opens a grounded conversation about the emotional side of working in the treatment room, the invisible energy, emotional labour, and client connection that builds up over time in this profession. With May being Mental Health Awareness Month, this episode focuses on awareness rather than burnout, exploring what it really means to stay present, professional, and supported in a client-facing career. This episode is not intended as mental health advice... it is a professional reflection on awareness, sustainability, and presence in the treatment room. ✨ Suzanne is a CIDESCO-certified esthetician with over 30 years of experience, former spa owner, and educator/mentor to beauty professionals.
