During the thermolysis method of electrolysis, what length of time does it take for the current to travel to the papilla?

In the thermolysis method of electrolysis, also known as radiofrequency electrolysis, the current travels to the hair follicle's papilla very quickly, typically in less than a second. This rapid delivery of energy is essential, as the goal is to heat the tissue surrounding the hair follicle effectively to destroy the cells responsible for hair growth.

The use of high-frequency currents in thermolysis allows for this immediate effect, making the method efficient for hair removal. Since the current reaches the papilla almost instantaneously, it can quickly create the necessary thermal effect to damage the follicle without excessive energy that could harm the surrounding skin. Understanding this time frame is crucial for practitioners to ensure effective treatment while also maintaining safety and minimizing discomfort for clients.
