Beurer IPL 5500 Instrucciones De Uso página 32

• In very rare cases, burns or lesions to the skin can occur after the treatment. The burn or le-
sion may take a few weeks to heal and, in extremely rare cases, you may be left with a 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 treatment in the following cases: if you use the de-
vice 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/purple haematoma that may last
five to ten days. Once the haematoma fades, rusty brown discolouration of the skin (hy-
perpigmentation) can occur, which may be permanent.
Warning to sunbathers before and after treatment!
Sunbathing before treatment
1. After sunbathing, wait at least 2 weeks before using the device.
2. Before treatment, check the skin for signs of sunburn. If you have sunburn
that has not healed, wait until it has completely healed to use the device.
3. Carry out a skin sensitivity test on the tanned skin to determine which energy intensity
is right for you.
Sunbathing after treatment
1. After treatment, wait at least 48 hours before sunbathing. Skin that is still reddened must
be kept out of the sun.
2. For the first two weeks after the treatment, the treated skin must be covered with clothing
or sunblock (at least SPF 30) when you are out in the sun.
Tanning with artificial light
The instructions for "sunbathing before treatment" and "sunbathing after
treatment" also apply to tanning using an artificial light and tanning lotion.
Do not use the device 24 hours before or after using a sauna/swimming pool, as the
chlorine may lead to skin irritation.
