What is anaphoresis used for in esthetic treatments?

  1. Applying a neutral product into the skin

  2. Infusing a positive (acid) product into the skin

  3. Infusing a negative (alkaline) product into the skin

  4. Softening the hair follicles for relaxing treatment

The correct answer is: Applying a neutral product into the skin

Anaphoresis is a technique in esthetic treatments that involves applying a negative (alkaline) product into the skin. This process helps to soften the skin and allows for deeper penetration of products. In contrast, options B and D are incorrect because anaphoresis involves the use of a negative product, not a positive (acid) product or softening the hair follicles for a relaxing treatment. Option A, which mentions applying a neutral product into the skin, is also incorrect as anaphoresis specifically involves the use of a negative product.
