Possible Side Effects - Home Skinovations Silk'n Jewel Manual

7. Possible side effects

If you follow the instructions fully and pay attention to all warnings and
contraindications, complications and side effects 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 may occur with pulsed light hair removal
systems designed for home use.
Adverse reaction
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.
Anything beyond this minor discomfort is abnormal. This
means that either you should stop using Silk'n Jewel because
you are unable to tolerate the hair removal application, or
that the energy level setting is too high.
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. Refer to section "9.1 Before your
treatment".
Increased Sensitivity of the Skin
The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you may encounter
dryness or flaking of the skin.
