The thermolysis method of electrolysis is also called the:

The thermolysis method of electrolysis is known as the high frequency or short-wave method because it employs high-frequency electrical currents to produce heat in the hair follicle. This heating effect is what leads to the destruction of the hair growth cells, effectively providing a means of hair removal.

In this technique, an alternating current is transmitted through a fine needle, which is inserted into the hair follicle, generating localized heat. This heat is crucial for the thermolysis method, as it targets and destroys the cells that contribute to hair growth, resulting in effective and permanent hair elimination.

Understanding this terminology is essential for recognizing the differences between various electrolysis methods. While the high frequency/short-wave method specifically highlights the use of heat, other methods such as the galvanic or blend methods use different processes—electrochemical reactions or a combination of modalities, respectively—making it clear that thermolysis is distinct in its approach of utilizing heat for hair removal.
