The histologic changes induced by thermolysis of hairs of the scalp and legs were studied by light microscopy. Two techniques were compared on opposite sides: conventional thermolysis (erroneously termed electrolysis) using bare needles and a newly designed precision epilator using an insulated, bulbous-tipped probe. Thermolysis generally did not immediately eliminate the papilla and hair matrix. Thermal injury provoked an inflammatory reaction which eventually destroyed the hair bulb. The insulated probe produced greater damage to the peribulbar tissue below and less necrosis of the perifollicular dermis above, enhancing the likelihood of permanent epilation and reducing the probability of scarring. The infundibulum and associated sebaceous glands regenerated to near-normal architecture. The lower follicle was replaced by a fibrotic streamer--a scar.
通过光学显微镜研究了头皮和腿部毛发热解所引起的组织学变化。在相对的两侧比较了两种技术：使用裸针的传统热解（错误地称为电解）和使用绝缘的球头探针的新设计的精密脱毛器。热解通常不会立即消除乳头和毛基质。热损伤引发炎症反应，最终破坏毛囊球。绝缘探针对下方的球周组织造成更大损伤，对上方的毛囊周围真皮造成的坏死较少，增加了永久性脱毛的可能性并降低了瘢痕形成的概率。漏斗部和相关皮脂腺再生至接近正常结构。下部毛囊被纤维化带——瘢痕所取代。
