What is not true about Thermolysis?

  1. It's less effective than plucking

  2. It uses a substantially thicker wire than the electrolysis probe

  3. It requires multiple sessions

  4. It involves high frequency current

The correct answer is: It uses a substantially thicker wire than the electrolysis probe

Thermolysis is a permanent hair removal method that utilizes high frequency current. This current generates heat and destroys the hair follicle. Although thermolysis is highly effective, it does require multiple sessions to achieve permanent results. Option A is incorrect because thermolysis is considered to be more effective than plucking. Option C is incorrect because thermolysis does require multiple sessions. Option D is incorrect because thermolysis does involve high frequency current.
