Possible side effects and skin reactions

Common skin reactions

- Your skin may show slight redness and/or may prickle, 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 due to shaving or a 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 facecloth.

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 rarely and

are usually 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 or lighter patch 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.

- Skin infection and inammation: This occurs very rarely and may be

caused by using the appliance on wounds or cuts that resulted from

shaving, on already existing wounds or on ingrown hairs.

- Excessive pain: this can occur during or after treatment if you have

used the appliance on unshaved skin, if you use the appliance at a

light intensity that is too high for your skin colour, if you ash the

same area more than once and if you use the appliance on open

wounds, inammations, infections, tattoos, burns, etc. See chapter

‘Contraindications’ for more information.

After use

- Do not apply any perfumed cosmetics to the areas treated immediately

after treatment.

- Do not use deodorant immediately after treating the underarms.

Wait until any skin redness has disappeared completely.

- See chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Tanning advice’ for information

about sun exposure and articial tanning.
