Why is antiseptic applied to tweezed areas during arching?

It enhances the shape of the arch
It makes the process less painful
It prevents infection
It relaxes the skin

The correct answer is: It enhances the shape of the arch

Antiseptic is applied to tweezed areas during arching in order to prevent infection. This is because tweezing can create small openings in the skin, leaving it vulnerable to bacteria and infections. By applying antiseptic, it helps kill any bacteria that may have entered the skin during the tweezing process and prevents potential infections. It does not enhance the shape of the arch or relax the skin, as those are not its intended purposes. While it may provide some slight relief in terms of pain, its primary function is to disinfect the area.
