POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS

If the appliance is used in accordance with the instructions given, side effects and complications are rare. However,
all cosmetic treatments, including those intended for domestic use, carry certain risks. Therefore, it is important to
understand and accept these risks and possible complications when using the IPL epilator designed for domestic use.
Side effects
Mild discomfort / unpleasant sensation on
the skin
Redness
Hypersensitivity of the skin
Burns or wounds
Scarring
Change in pigmentation
Excessive redness of the skin and swelling
Infection
Bruising
Mild discomfort / unpleasant sensation on the skin
Although hair removal by the appliance is generally well tolerated, most people who use the epilator experience
a mild discomfort, often described as a tingling sensation on the treated area of the skin. This sensation generally lasts
throughout the entire application process. Sometimes even a few minutes afterwards. Any other feelings of discomfort
are uncommon and means that you have to either stop the treatment, or lower the selected power.
Redness
Skin that has been treated by the epilator may turn red after use or within the next 24 hours. The redness usually
disappears within 24 hours. If the redness persists for more than 2-3 days, contact your doctor.
Hypersensitivity of the skin
The skin is more sensitive in the area that has been treated and may be dry or peeling.
Burns or wounds
Very rarely, burns or wounds may appear on the skin after the application. It may take several weeks for the skin to heal
completely and in some exceptional cases a scar may remain.
Scarring
Although these cases are very rare, permanent scars may appear. Generally, the scars take the form of a whitish
superficial lesion (hypotrophic). However, the scar may be large and red (hypertrophic) or larger than the injured area
(keloid). More advanced cosmetic treatment may be required to improve the appearance.
Change in pigmentation
The epilator targets the hair roots, especially the pigment cells of the hair follicle. However, there is a risk of temporary
hyperpigmentation (brown pigment increase or discolouration) or depigmentation (lightening) of the surrounding skin.
The risk of a change in pigmentation is higher among people with darker skin.
Changes in pigmentation and colour are generally temporary. Cases of permanent hyperpigmentation or
depigmentation are rare.
