6.6 How to achieve optimal results • Avoid treating exactly the same area multiple times during one session as this does not improve the effectiveness of the device. However, this does increase the risk of skin reactions. • Never flash the same area twice without lifting the device off the skin.

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.
• Only apply genuine VISS IPL cosmetics to the treated areas immediately after treatment. • Do not use deodorant after the treatment until any redness has disappeared completely. • See ‘Tanning advice’ section (Ch. 5.2) for information about sun exposure and artificial tanning.
