What frequency range is designated as high frequency current for thermolysis in hair removal?

The frequency range designated as high frequency current for thermolysis in hair removal is 3 to 30 megahertz (MHz). This range is significant because it allows for effective thermal energy generation in the hair follicle, which is essential for the destruction of the hair matrix cells, leading to permanent hair removal.

Thermolysis, also known as radiofrequency electrolysis, utilizes these high frequencies to produce heat in the hair follicle, resulting in sufficient damage to inhibit further hair growth. Frequencies within this range are optimal for maximizing efficacy while minimizing pain and side effects, making them appropriate for aesthetic treatment purposes.

Other frequency ranges either fall below or above this designated spectrum, which may not provide the optimal conditions for thermal destruction needed in the hair removal process.
