What process causes an alkaline reaction to soften follicles for deep cleansing?

  1. Cataphoresis

  2. Deincrustation

  3. Ionization

  4. Photorejuvenation

The correct answer is: Cataphoresis

Cataphoresis causes an alkaline reaction to soften follicles for deep cleansing. This process is commonly used in esthetics to help open up pores, allowing for easier removal of impurities during facials. Deincrustation, ionization, and photorejuvenation do not involve an alkaline reaction to soften follicles like cataphoresis does.
