-
Epidermal heating (a sharply defined brownish
area which often occurs with darker skin tones
and is not accompanied with skin dryness): This
reaction occurs very rarely. In case this reaction
does not disappear within 1 week, 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.
-
Blistering (looks like small bubbles on the
surface of the skin): this occurs very rarely. In
case this reaction does not disappear within 1
month or when the skin gets infected, 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.
-
Scarring: often the secondary effect of a burn,
which can take longer than a month to heal.
-
Folliculitis (swelling around hair follicles combined
with pustule formation): this reaction occurs very
rarely and is the result of bacteria penetrating the
damaged skin. In case this reaction occurs, we
advise you to consult a doctor as folliculitis may
need antibiotic ointment.
-
Excessive pain: this can occur during or after
treatment if you have used the device on skin
that is not hair-free, if you use the device at
a light intensity that is too high for your skin
tone, if you flash the same area more than once
and if you use the device on open wounds,
inflammations, infections, tattoos, burns, etc.
