After use

Common skin reactions

Rare side effects

Your skin may show slight redness and/or may
prickle, tingle or feel warm. This reaction is
absolutely harmless and disappears quickly.
Dry skin and itching may occur due to shaving or a
combination of shaving and light treatment. You
can cool the area with an ice pack or a wet face
cloth. If dryness persists, you can apply a non-
scented moisturizer on the treated area 24 hours
after the treatment.
- Burns, excessive redness and swelling: these
reactions occur very rarely. They are the result
of using a light intensity that is too high for your
skin tone. 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 discoloration: this occurs very rarely. Skin
discoloration manifests itself as either a darker
patch (hyperpigmentation) or a lighter patch
(hypopigmentation) than the surrounding area.
This is the result of using a light intensity that is
too high for your skin tone. If the discoloration
does not disappear within 2 weeks, we advise
you to consult a doctor. Do not treat discolored
areas until the discoloration has disappeared
and your skin has regained its normal skin tone.
