Thermolysis uses high-frequency current to achieve what effect in the follicle?

• A. Coagulate cells
• B. Increase hair pigment
• C. Melt the outer skin layer
• D. Freeze the follicle

Answer: (A)

Thermolysis works by heating the hair follicle with high-frequency current, which causes the cells in the follicle to coagulate. This heat denatures proteins in the follicle, especially around the hair bulb and dermal papilla, effectively destroying the cells that drive hair growth and preventing regrowth. It’s not about increasing pigment, melting the skin surface, or freezing tissue—the key outcome is protein coagulation within the follicle that stops the hair from growing.
