Those frequencies work at energies which are damaging to the body, or your body acts as a perfect load. However, becasue they are lower power (ie. cell phones) they don't have an effect.

At 95GHz, it heats up water and particles in the air, but it dissapates so fast that it wouldn't penetrate the skin or prove to be damaging to the body.
