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 colour.
Excessive redness and swelling
In rare cases, treated skin may become very red and swollen. This
is more common in sensitive areas of the body. The redness and
swelling should subside within 2 to 7 days and should be treated
with frequent applications of ice. Gentle cleansing is OK, but avoid
exposure to the sun.
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; skin wounds
It is very unusual but blister, burns or wounds to the skin may
occur following a treatment. These can require a few weeks to
heal, and in very rare cases, may leave a noticeable scar.
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.
Infection or bruising
Infection of the skin is exceedingly rare but is still a possible risk
following a skin burn or wound caused by the device.
Very rarely, the device may cause blue-purple bruising that can
last 5 to 10 days. As the bruising fades, there may be a rust-brown
discolouration of the skin (hyperpigmentation).
