7. Possible side effects
When used according to the instructions, side effects and
complications associated with the use of the device are
EN
uncommon. However, every cosmetic procedure, including
those designed for home use, involves some degree of risk.
Therefore, it is important that you understand and accept the
risks and complications that can occur with pulsed light hair
removal systems designed for home use.
There is a minor risk that stacking or overlapping of multiple
pulses on the same skin spot may have some adverse effects.
Minor skin discomfort
Home pulsed light hair removal is generally well-tolerated.
However, some users feel mild discomfort during use. This is best
described as a mild stinging sensation on the treated skin areas.
The stinging sensation may last during or after treatment.
This means that you should use the device at a lower energy level,
and if that doesn't help, you should stop using the device.
Skin redness
Your skin may become red immediately after using the device or
within 24 hours. Redness generally clears up within 24 hours.
See your doctor if redness does not go away within 2 to 3
days.
Make sure you use the energy level that is comfortable for you
and suitable for your skin color.
Increased sensitivity of the skin
The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you may
encounter dryness or flaking of the skin.
Blisters or burns
Cool the affected area and apply anti-burn cream. Wait until the
area has healed completely before another treatment, and use
a lower energy level. If the skin does not return to normal
within 3 days, consult your physician.
