• Dry or irritated skin may occur as a result of shaving or a combination of shaving and light
therapy. This reaction is harmless and will wear off within a few days. If you wish, you can
cool the affected area with some ice or a damp cloth.
• If the skin continues to be too dry, you can apply an unscented moisturising cream 24
hours after treatment.
• In rare cases, the treated skin can become very red and swollen. This is usually because
the intensity level you selected was too high and is more likely to occur in sensitive parts
of the body. Reddening and swelling should subside within two to seven days and should
be treated by frequent application of ice. Gentle cleaning is OK, but you should avoid
exposure to the sun.
• Discolouration of the skin is very rare and appears as darker or lighter patches on the af-
fected skin area. It can be caused by using an intensity level that is too high for your skin
tone. If the discolouration does not subside within two weeks, consult a doctor. Do not
treat the discoloured areas again until the discolouration has fully disappeared.
• In very rare cases, burns or lesions to the skin can occur after the treatment. The burn or le-
sion may take a few weeks to heal and, in extremely rare cases, you may be left with a scar.
• In very rare cases, skin infections and inflammations may occur. These may be caused
through use of the device on wounds or cuts caused by shaving, or existing wounds or
ingrown hairs.
• Severe pain may occur during or after treatment in the following cases: if you use the de-
vice on unshaven skin; if you select an intensity level that is too high for your skin tone; if
you treat the same skin area several times with light pulses; if you use the device on open
wounds, inflammations, tattoos, burns, etc.
• In very rare cases, permanent scarring may occur. Scarring usually occurs in the form of a
flat, white lesion on the skin. Subsequent aesthetic treatment may be required to improve
the appearance of the scar.
• In very rare cases, using the device can result in a blue/purple haematoma that may last
five to ten days. Once the haematoma fades, rusty brown discolouration of the skin (hy-
perpigmentation) can occur, which may be permanent.
Warning to sunbathers before and after treatment!
Sunbathing before treatment
1. After sunbathing, wait at least 2 weeks before using the device.
2. Before treatment, check the skin for signs of sunburn. If you have sunburn
that has not healed, wait until it has completely healed to use the device.
3. Carry out a skin sensitivity test on the tanned skin to determine which energy intensity
is right for you.
Sunbathing after treatment
1. After treatment, wait at least 48 hours before sunbathing. Skin that is still reddened must
be kept out of the sun.
2. For the first two weeks after the treatment, the treated skin must be covered with clothing
or sunblock (at least SPF 30) when you are out in the sun.
