How do depilatory creams remove facial hair?

- B. By chemically breaking down the hair shaft so it can be wiped away
- C. By destroying the hair follicle with heat
- D. By cutting the hair with embedded microblades
Answer: B. By chemically breaking down the hair shaft so it can be wiped away
Depilatories dissolve the hair's keratin structure at or just below the skin surface, allowing it to be easily wiped off.
How does threading remove hair from the skin?
- A. By dissolving the hair shaft with chemicals

- C. By cutting hair at the skin surface
- D. By using electrical current to destroy the follicle
Answer: B. By trapping hairs in a twisted loop of thread and pulling them from the follicle
The rolling action of the twisted thread catches multiple hairs and extracts them at the root simultaneously.

- B. Yes, because it destroys the follicle with current, not light
- C. Only with the galvanic modality
- D. No, IPL must be used for white hair first
Answer: B. Yes, because it destroys the follicle with current, not light
Unlike laser, electrolysis does not rely on melanin and can permanently destroy follicles of any hair color including white and gray.
Threading removes hair at approximately which level?
- A. At the skin surface (like shaving)
- B. At or near the follicle root

Threading extracts hair from the follicle root, which is why regrowth is slower and softer compared to shaving.
