EC Electrolysis Principles and Techniques 3

Question 1

When performing blend electrolysis, what two currents are combined?

Accepted Answer

Galvanic DC and high-frequency AC

Answer

Blend combines galvanic direct current with high-frequency alternating current (thermolysis), using heat to accelerate lye formation and spread.

Question 2

What is the correct angle for probe insertion in a curved follicle on the upper lip?

Accepted Answer

Following the natural curvature of the follicle

Answer

The probe must follow the follicle's natural curve to reach the bulb without piercing the follicle wall, preventing skin damage.

Question 3

Which condition is an absolute contraindication for electrolysis treatment?

Accepted Answer

Presence of a pacemaker

Answer

A pacemaker is an absolute contraindication because electrical current from electrolysis can interfere with the device's function, risking cardiac events.

Question 4

After proper probe insertion in thermolysis, a hair releases with a gentle tug. This indicates:

Accepted Answer

Adequate tissue coagulation occurred

Answer

A hair sliding out without resistance or traction confirms the follicle tissue was adequately coagulated, releasing the hair's attachment.

Question 5

What term describes the regrowth of a hair after electrolysis due to incomplete follicle destruction?

Accepted Answer

Regrowth (treated hair)

Answer

A 'treated hair regrowth' is a hair that returns after treatment because not enough energy reached all the germinative cells to prevent regrowth.
