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, contact
Customer Service.
Pigment changes
The device targets the hair shaft, in particular the pigmented cells in
the hair follicle and the hair follicle itself. Nevertheless there is a risk of
temporary hyperpigmentation (increased pigment or brown discoloration)
or hypo-pigmentation (whitening) to the surrounding skin. Risk of
changes in skin pigmentation is higher for people with darker skin tones.
Usually discoloration or changes to skin pigment are temporary, and
hyperpigmentation or hypo-pigmentation are rare.
Scarring
Although very rare, scarring may occur. Usually when scarring occurs, it is
in the form of a flat and white lesion on the skin (hypo-trophic). However,
it can be large and red (hypertrophic) or large and extend beyond the
margins of the injury itself (keloid). Subsequent aesthetic treatments may
be required to improve the appearance of the scar.
Infection
Infection of the skin is exceedingly rare but is still a possible risk following
a skin burn or wound caused when using the device.
Bruising
Very rarely, treatment may cause blue-purple bruising that can last 5 to
10 days. As the bruising fades, there may be a rust-brown discoloration of
the skin (hyper-pigmentation).
