Question

All of the following statements are true about a chemical depilatory EXCEPT:

Select one:
O a. regrowth will occur within several days
O b. an patch test is recommended before use
O c. removes hair by decomposing the papilla
O d. thioglycolic acid derivative is the main ingredient

Answer 1

A chemical depilatory is a hair removal product that uses chemicals to dissolve and remove hair. It does not decompose the papilla and regrowth will occur within several days.

Step-by-step explanation:

A chemical depilatory is a hair removal product that works by using chemicals to break down the proteins in hair, causing it to dissolve and be wiped away. The main ingredient of a chemical depilatory is typically a thioglycolic acid derivative, which helps to dissolve the hair. While a patch test is recommended before using a chemical depilatory to check for any sensitivity or allergic reactions, it does not decompose the papilla, which is the root of the hair follicle. The papilla is not affected by the chemical depilatory, so regrowth of the hair will occur within several days.
