- Dry skin and itching may occur because of the combination of shaving
and light treatment. This is harmless and disappears within a few days.
You can cool the area with an ice pack or a wet cloth. If dryness
persists, you can apply a non-scented moisturiser on the treated area
24 hours after the treatment.
rare side effects:
- 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 colour. 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 discolouration: this occurs very rarely. Skin discolouration manifests
itself as either a darker or lighter patch than the surrounding area.
This is the result of using a light intensity that is too high for your skin
colour. If the discolouration does not disappear within 2 weeks, we
advise you to consult a doctor. Do not treat discoloured areas until the
discolouration has disappeared and your skin has regained its normal
skin colour.
- Skin infection and inflammation: This occurs very rarely and may be
caused by using the appliance 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 appliance on unshaved skin, if you use the appliance at a light
intensity that is too high for your skin colour, if you flash the same
area more than once and if you use the appliance on open wounds,
inflammations, infections, tattoos, burns, etc. See chapter ‘Important’,
section ‘Contraindications’ for more information.
