Skin burns
-Rarely, burns on the treated area can occur following the use of the
PURE reduction system. The burns can require a few weeks to heal
and, extremely rarely, may leave a visible permanent scar.
Scarring
-In rare cases, permanent scarring may occur. Usually when scarring
occurs it is in the form of a flat and white lesion on the skin
(hypotrophic). However, it can be large and red (hypertrophic) or large
and extend beyond the margins of the injury itself (keloid).
Subsequent aesthetic treatments may be required to improve the
appearance of the scar.
Pigment changes
-Use of the ROSSWAN PURE device may cause temporary skin
hyperpigmentation (increased pigment or brown discoloration) or
hypopigmentation (whitening) to the surrounding skin. The risk is
higher for people with darker skin tones. Usually discoloration or
changes to skin pigment are temporary and permanent
hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation rarely occur.
Excessive redness and swelling
-Very rarely, the treated area skin may become very red and swollen.
This side effect is very common in sensitive areas of the body. The
redness and swelling should be decreased after 2 to 7 days and you
should treat the area by applying ice. You should avoid exposure to
sun.
