6. Possible side effects

When used according to the instructions, side effects and
EN
complications associated with the use of Silk'n Infinity are uncommon.
However, every cosmetic procedure, including those designed for
home use, involves some degree of risk. Therefore, it is important
that you understand and accept the risks and complications that can
occur with pulsed light hair removal systems designed for home use.
There is a minor risk that stacking or overlapping of multiple pulses
on the same skin spot may have some adverse effects.
Minor skin discomfort
Home pulsed light hair removal is generally well-tolerated. However, some
users feel mild discomfort during use. This is best described as a mild stinging
sensation on the treated skin areas. The stinging sensation may last during or
after treatment.
This means that you should use the device at a lower energy level, and if that
doesn't help, you should stop using the device.
Skin redness
Your skin may become red immediately after using the device or within 24
hours. Redness generally clears up within 24 hours.
See your doctor if redness does not go away within 2 to 3 days.
Make sure you use the energy level that is comfortable for you and suitable
for your skin color.
Increased sensitivity of the skin
The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you may encounter dryness or
flaking of the skin.
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.
Skin wounds and burns
Very rarely, burns or wounds to the skin can occur following the application.
The burn or wound can require a few weeks to heal and, extremely rarely, may
leave a noticeable scar.
