Possible Side Effects Using Silk'n Pro - Silk’n Pro Instrucciones De Uso

7. Possible side effects using Silk'n Pro™

When used according to the instructions, side effects and complications associated with use of Silk'n Pro™
are 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.
Adverse Reaction
Minor Skin Discomfort – Although home pulsed light hair removal is generally
very well-tolerated, most users do feel some mild discomfort during use, usually
described as being a mild stinging sensation on the treated skin areas. The
stinging sensation usually lasts during the time of the application itself or for a
few minutes thereafter. Anything beyond this minor discomfort is abnormal and
means that either you should not continue to use Silk'n Pro™ because you are
unable to tolerate the hair removal application, or that the energy level setting is
too high.
Skin Redness – Your skin may become red right after using Silk'n Pro™ or within
24 hours of using Silk'n Pro™. Redness generally clears up within 24 hours. See
your doctor if redness does not go away within 2 to 3 days.
Increased Sensitivity to Skin – The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you
may encounter dryness or flaking of the skin.
Pigment Changes – Silk'n Pro™ targets the hair shaft, in particular the pigmented
cells in the hair follicle and the hair follicle itself. Nevertheless there is risk of
temporary hyperpigmentation (increased pigment or brown discoloration) or
hypopigmentation (whitening) to the surrounding skin. This risk of changes in skin
pigmentation is higher for people with darker skin tones. Usually discoloration or
changes to skin pigment are temporary and permanent hyperpigmentation or
hypopigmentation rarely occur.
Excessive Redness and Swelling – In rare cases treated skin may become
very red and swollen. This is more common in sensitive areas of the body. The
redness and swelling should subside within 2 to 7 days and should be treated
with frequent applications of ice. Gentle cleansing is OK, but one should avoid
exposure to sun.
