Electrolysis using direct current for lye production is known as what?

• A. Galvanic Electrolysis
• B. Blend Method
• C. Probes
• D. Point Effect

Answer: (A)

Galvanic electrolysis uses direct current to drive a chemical reaction in the follicle that produces sodium hydroxide (lye). This lye formation is the mechanism that destroys the hair follicle, which is exactly what the question describes. The blend method also uses DC, but it combines galvanic action with thermolysis, so it isn’t defined solely by lye production. Probes are the applicators, not a method, and Point Effect isn’t a recognized term for this context.
