The device has not been tested for this group of persons.
Further, do not use the device in following cases:
– If the skin on the area to be treated has been treated with peeling, sunburned, cut, has open
wounds, eczemas, lesions, haematomas, burns, inflammation of hair follicles, abrasions or
is currently being treated with injections or if you have had a surgery or facial rejuvenation
surgery in given area (such as Botox, facial filler, thread lifts etc.).
– If you have varicose veins, dilated veins or a history of any other vascular disorder on the area
to be treated.
– If you have a history of collagen disorder, including a history of keloid scar formation
or a history of poor wound healing, or you have skin implants.
– If you have any bleeding disorder; also, if you use anticoagulation medications.
– Over or near silicone implants or piercings.
– Immediately after cosmetic treatment (e.g. after AHA, botulotoxin treatment etc.).
– If you visit tanning centre.
– In moles (neither near them nor over them!), freckles, darker pigmented areas, scars
or other skin irregularities.
– If you have warts, freckles, tattoos or permanent make-up on the area to be treated
– If you have used long-lasting deodorant on the area to be epilated.
– If your skin tone is very dark (see part "Skin type „below). The dark skin absorbs more light
energy, which may result in unpleasant or painful sensation and undesired effects (e.g.
burning, blisters formation, discoloration or scarification) and damage to skin.
– If your skin is very sensitive.
– If you suffer from solar urticaria (allergy to sun).
– Before or shortly after IPL application, do not use any cosmetic products (e.g. products with
pigments, perfumes, alcohol, AHA alpha hydroxy acids, BHA beta acid, azelaic acid, etc.).
– In any other case which would be considered by your doctor as risky for the use of this device.
The above-mentioned lists are not complete and do not include all possible cases and
complications, that may exclude the use of IPL technology. In case of any doubts you
should contact your dermatologist or general practitioner.
Further, special attention should be paid to the issue of tanning. Do not use the device on recently
tanned or artificially tanned skin! All types of tanning (natural, as well as artificial one, including the
use of self-tanners) may reduce the safety of IPL treatment, as the skin becomes very sensitive.
Do not use also if you are planning to travel soon e.g. to the sea and to get exposed to the sunlight.
