- Folliculitis (swelling around hair follicles
combined with pustule formation): this
reaction occurs very rarely and is the result
of bacteria penetrating the damaged skin. In
case this reaction occurs, we advise you to
consult a doctor as folliculitis may need
antibiotic ointment.
- 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.
Aftercare
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.
Note: when following all instructions you may still
get skin reactions. In this case stop using the
device and contact the consumer care center in
your country.
