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.
-
Burns, excessive redness (e.g. around hair
follicles) and swelling: these reactions occur
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.
-
Skin infection is very rare but is a possible risk
following a (micro)wound, a skin burn, skin
irritation etc.
