I've been away from EDS for a few weeks, but I just wanted to chime in on this discussion...
I would think that the primary factors in picking an effective "high-frequency device" would be:
(1) The frequency / oscillations per second. This number is given in terms of Hertz (Hz). The more Hertz, the faster the oscillation rate. (The units are just Hz, not Hz/sec.) The thing that you are causing to oscillate is the current in the device, which in terms causes a "jiggling" of the electrons and other charged particles in your tissues. The higher the frequency, the faster those charged particles in your cells jiggle. They may be other physiological effects due to something called resonance (just like "resonance" of LEDs with certain biological compounds within the cell promotes healing and related cellular processes).... But I am not knowledgeable in this area, so cannot comment.
(2) The power output (or, if you wanted to be more picky, the intensity). I would assume that this number is given in terms of milliWatts (mW) (or mW/cm^2, if you want the intensity). A higher frequency means nothing if the power is low. In other words, you can view "frequency" as a measure of "how fast" and power as a measure of "how much (or how little)". A high frequency doesn't mean much if you are only delivering a little of it.
So in other words, at a bare minimum, a comparison of two high-frequency devices should include at least the frequency AND the power.
Then, there are probably secondary measures, such as how large of a surface area on the face can be treated at a time, etc.
Finally, FWIW, I'm skeptical that the difference between 200,000 Hz and 220,000 Hz (10% difference) would justify a huge boost in the price tag....unless the power output (in Watts) for the 220,000 Hz device is much more.
