Minor skin discomfort
Although home pulsed light hair removal is generally
very well-tolerated, most users feel some mild
discomfort during use. This minor discomfort is
usually described as being a mild stinging sensation
on the treated skin areas. The stinging sensation
usually lasts during release of the pulse or for a few
minutes after release of the pulse. Anything beyond
this minor discomfort is abnormal and means that
either you should not continue to use the device
because you are unable to tolerate its hair removal
method, or that the intensity level is set too high.
