Rare side effects

Aftercare
Charging
- Burns, excessive redness and swelling: these reactions occur very 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 and inflammation: This occurs very rarely and may be
caused by using the device on wounds or cuts that resulted from shaving,
on already existing wounds or on ingrown hairs.
- Excessive pain: this can occur during or after treatment if you have used
the device on skin that is not hair-free, if you use the device at a light
intensity that is too high for your skin tone, if you flash the same area
more than once and if you use the device on open wounds,
inflammations, infections, tattoos, burns, etc.
After use, you can safely apply lotions, creams, deodorant, moisturizer or
cosmetics to the treated areas. If you experience skin irritation or skin
redness after treatment, wait until it disappears before applying any product
to your skin. If you experience skin irritation after applying a product to your
skin, wash it off with water.
