Possible side effects and skin reactions
Common skin reactions:
-
Your skin may show slight redness and/or may
prickles, tingle or feel warm. This reaction is
absolutely harmless and disappears quickly.
-
A skin reaction similar to sunburn may occur on
the treated area for a short while. If this does
not disappear within 3 days, we advise you to
consult a doctor.
-
Dry skin and itching may occur because of the
combination of shaving and light treatment.
This is harmless and disappears within a few
days. You can cool the area with an ice pack or
a wet cloth. If dryness persists, you can apply a
non-scented moisturiser on the treated area
24 hours after the treatment.
Rare side effects:
-
Burns, excessive redness and swelling: these
reactions occur very rarely.They are the result
of using a light intensity that is too high for your
skin colour. If these reactions do not disappear
within 3 days, we advise you to consult a
doctor. Wait with the next treatment until the
skin has healed completely and make sure you
use a lower light intensity.
-
Skin discolouration: this occurs very rarely.
Skin discolouration manifests itself as either
a darker patch (hyperpigmentation) or lighter
patch (hypopigmentation) than the surrounding
area. This is the result of using a light intensity
that is too high for your skin colour. If the
discolouration does not disappear within
2 weeks, we advise you to consult a doctor.
Do not treat discoloured areas until the
discolouration has disappeared and your skin
has regained its normal skin colour.
