Skin wounds and burns
Very rarely, burns or wounds to the skin can occur following the
application. The burn or wound can require a few weeks to heal
and, extremely rarely, may leave a noticeable scar.
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
(hypotrophic). 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.
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 hyper-pigmentation (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 or heavily tanned skin. Usually
discoloration or changes to skin pigment are temporary, and
permanent hyper-pigmentation or hypo-pigmentation are rare.
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 avoid
exposure to the sun.
Infection or bruising
Infection of the skin is exceedingly rare but is still a possible risk
following a skin burn or wound caused by the device.
Very rarely, the device 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 (hyperpigmentation).
Stop use immediately if any of these effects are more severe.

See your physician if the effects do not go away within 2

to 3 days.
