when not to use the /contraindications
DO NOT use if you have any skin condition in the treatment area, including
acne, sores, psoriasis, eczema, burns, herpes simplex, wounds or a rash.
These conditions can make the skin more sensitive to the light treatment and
could make the treatment uncomfortable or cause skin swelling, blisters or
infection. Wait for the affected area to heal before using. If you are not sure
if your skin condition has healed enough to use the device, then please
consult with your doctor.
DO NOT use the device if you have a history of kelodial scar formation,
a known sensitivity to light (photosensitivity) or are taking medication
that makes the skin more sensitive to light, including non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory agents, (e.g., aspirins, ibuprofens, cetaminophen),
tetracyclines, phenothiazines, thiazide, diuretics, sulfonyluraes, sulfonamides,
DTIC, fluorouracil, vinblastine, griseofulvin, Alpha-Hydroxi Acids (AHAs), Beta-
Hydroxi Acids (BHAs), Retin-A, Accutane and/or topical retinoids.
DO NOT expose treated areas to the sun during the entire treatment period.
Wait at least 2 weeks after the final treatment before you expose treated
skin to the sun or tan with artificial light. Even after 2 weeks, make sure that
the treated skin is not red from the treatment before you expose it to the sun.
Be sure to carefully protect the treated skin with sunscreen throughout the
hair removal period. Failure to follow this warning could result in skin swelling,
blisters, temporary or permanent skin discoloration or skin whitening.
DO NOT use if you have an active implant, such as a pacemaker,
incontinence device, insulin pump, etc. Use of the me system has not been
tested in individuals with active implants, and, therefore, the effects are
unknown.
DO NOT use if you have been treated with Accutane® (isotretinoin)
within the past 6 months. This can make the skin more sensitive to the light
treatment and could make the treatment uncomfortable or cause skin
swelling, blisters or infection.
