ELECTROLYSIS REVIEW QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS 100% ACCURATE
The removal of surperflous hair by the electrolytic action of galvanic current had its
beginning in 1875, when a report was submitted to the medical profession by: -
ANSWER-Charles E. Michel, M.D.
When the needle is introduced into the hair follicle and the current is applied, the body
salts combine with moisture in the tissue, which results in the production of: - ANSWER-
LYE
The current may be available along the entire length of the needle, but it affects tissue
only where it encounters: - ANSWER-Moisture
The deeper the insertion, the greater the flow of current into the follicle, because greater
depth involves: - ANSWER-Greater Moisture Contact
Sebum is an excellent: - ANSWER-Insulator
During an electrolysis treatment, when a complete circuit is established the current will
flow from the source (the machine), trough the patron and then: - ANSWER-Go back to
the source
The Negative pole produces: - ANSWER-Sodium Hydroxide
The positive pole produces: - ANSWER-Hydrochloric Acid
In the water immersion test for polarity, the negative pole shows: - ANSWER-The most
bubbles
Accidental use of the positive pole with steel needles invariable produces: - ANSWER-A
spot of black oxide
Forcing chemical solution into unbroken skin by use of electricity is known as: -
ANSWER-Phoresis
A milliamperemeter: - ANSWER-Indicates current flow
The galvanic current used in electrolysis is also known as: - ANSWER-Direct Current
All are effects of the positive pole: - ANSWER-a) Forms hard scar tissue
b) Produces hydrochloric acid
