8.4 The skin colour sensor
Light-based hair removal on darker skin tones may result in adverse effects
such as burns, blisters, and skin colour changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).
EN
Your Skinera™ IPL device has a skin colour sensor that detects the colour of
your skin automatically (#6 in the diagram). If your skin tone is too dark for
safe use, the device will not operate.
8.5 What to expect when treating with Skinera™
For many people, using the Skinera™ IPL device may be their first experience
with a light-based device. During a treatment session it is normal to experience
or feel:
Noise: The cooling fan makes noise similar to a hair dryer. This
is normal.
A popping sound: With each flash of IPL light.
A sensation of warmth and tingling: During each light pulse.
Some redness: It is not uncommon to see some very mild,
pink-like skin colouration during or just after a treatment. This is
usually most noticeable around the hairs themselves.

Stop use immediately if you see your skin is very red.
