A mushroom electrode, spiral electrode and sparking electrode are all used with which type of device?

• A. High Frequency
• B. Direct Current
• C. Microcurrent
• D. LED

Answer: (A)

High-frequency devices use gas-filled glass electrodes in several shapes, including mushroom, spiral, and sparking tips. These electrodes deliver a high-frequency alternating current to the skin, with each shape serving different areas or effects—the mushroom for broader facial coverage, the spiral for varied contact and surface area, and the sparking tip to ionize air and provide a mild antiseptic effect. The other modalities rely on different mechanisms and do not use these specific glass, gas-filled electrodes.
