Increased sensitivity of the skin
The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you may encounter dryness or flaking
of the skin.

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 discolouration) 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 discolouration 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.
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, consult your physician.

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.
