Possible Side Effects - Remington iLight IPL 3500 Guía De Uso Y Cuidado

7. POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS

If you follow the instructions fully and pay attention to all warnings
and contraindications, complications and side effects are uncommon.
However every cosmetic procedure, including those designed for home
use, involves some degree of risk. Therefore, it is important that you
understand and accept the risks and complications that may occur with
pulsed light hair removal systems designed for home use.
Minor skin discomfort
HPL hair removal is generally well-tolerated. However, some users feel
mild discomfort during use. This is best described as a mild stinging
sensation on the treated skin areas. The stinging sensation may last
during or after treatment.
This means that you should use the device at a lower energy level,
and if that doesn't help, you should stop using the device.
Skin redness
Your skin may become red immediately after using the device or
within 24 hours. Redness generally clears up within 24 hours.
Contact Customer Service if redness does not go away within 2 to 3 days.
Make sure you use the energy level that is comfortable for you and
suitable for your skin color. Refer to section 9.1 "Before your
first treatment".
Increased sensitivity of the skin
The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you may encounter
dryness or flaking of the skin.
Excessive redness and swelling
In rare cases, treated skin may become very red and swollen. This is
more common in sensitive areas of the body. The redness and swelling
should subside within 2 to 7 days and should be treated with frequent
applications of ice. Gentle cleansing is OK, but avoid exposure to the sun.
