This list is not exhaustive.
If you take prescription medicine, are monitored regularly due to an
illness and/or are unsure whether the device is safe for you to use,
consult your doctor or dermatologist before using the device.
Possible side effects:
If the device is used in accordance with these instructions for use, side effects and
complications rarely occur in relation to the use of the device.
• After usage, it is possible that the skin will be slightly red, itchy or warm to the touch.
These reactions are harmless and will quickly wear off.
• For a short time, you may experience a skin reaction similar to sunburn on the treated
area. If this reaction does not wear off within three days, consult a doctor.
• 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 using the device.
• 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 2 to 7 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
affected 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 using the device. The
burn or lesion may take a few weeks to heal and, in extremely rare cases, you may be
left with a visible 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 use of the device in the following cases: If you
use the device 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/violet haematoma that may
last 5 to 10 days. Once the haematoma fades, rusty brown discolouration of the skin
(hyperpigmentation) can occur, which may be permanent.
