Point effect relates to

Point effect relates to

• A. Galvanic
• B. Blend
• C. Thermolysis
• D. Laser

Answer: (C)

The point effect is a hallmark of thermolysis, where a very small area at the hair follicle tip is heated intensely by a high-frequency current delivered in short pulses. This rapid, localized heat coagulates and destroys the follicular tissue, giving precise destruction with minimal impact on surrounding skin. Not galvanic, which relies on a continuous direct current to create a chemical reaction (lye) at the needle tip, not the localized heat at a point. Not blend, which combines galvanic and thermolysis actions, so the mechanism isn’t defined by a single point heat effect. Not laser, which uses light energy to heat the hair rather than the point-focused electrical heating of thermolysis.
