Common skin reactions
Rare side effects
After use, you can apply lotions, creams, deodorant, moisturizer or cosmetics to
the treated areas.
Warning: If you experience skin irritation or skin redness after
treatment, wait until it disappears before applying any product to
your skin. If you experience skin irritation after applying a product
to your skin, wash it off with water. If you still get skin reactions,
stop using the device and consult your doctor.
Your skin may show slight redness and/or may prickle, tingle or feel warm. This
reaction disappears quickly.
Dry skin and itching may occur due to shaving or a combination of shaving and
light treatment. You can cool the area with an ice pack or a wet face cloth. If
dryness persists, you can apply a non-scented moisturizer on the treated area.
-
Burns, excessive redness (e.g. around hair follicles) and swelling: these
reactions occur rarely. They are the result of using a light intensity that is too
high for your skin tone. If these reactions do not disappear within 3 days, we
advise you to consult a doctor. Wait with the next treatment until the skin
has healed completely and make sure you use a lower light intensity.
-
Skin discoloration: this occurs very rarely. Skin discoloration manifests itself
as either a darker patch (hyperpigmentation) or a lighter patch
(hypopigmentation) than the surrounding area. This is the result of using a
light intensity that is too high for your skin tone. If the discoloration does not
disappear within 2 weeks, we advise you to consult a doctor. Do not treat
discolored areas until the discoloration has disappeared and your skin has
regained its normal skin tone.
-
Skin infection is very rare but is a possible risk following a (micro)wound, a
skin burn, skin irritation, etc.
-
Epidermal heating (a sharply defined brownish area which often occurs with
darker skin tones and is not accompanied with skin dryness): this reaction
occurs very rarely. In case this reaction does not disappear within 1 week, we
advise you to consult a doctor. Wait with the next treatment until the skin
has healed completely and make sure you use a lower light intensity.
-
Blistering (looks like small bubbles on the surface of the skin): this occurs
very rarely. In case this reaction does not disappear within 1 month or when
the skin gets infected, we advise you to consult a doctor. Wait with the next
treatment until the skin has healed completely and make sure you use a
lower light intensity.
-
Scarring: often the secondary effect of a burn, which can take longer than a
month to heal.
