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 sensiLight™
Mini 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.
• Infection
- In rare cases, infection of the
skin is a possible risk following a skin
burns caused by the application.
• Bruising - Blue-purple bruising
is exceedingly rare by using the
sensiLight™ Mini and can last 5 to 10
days. As the bruising fades, there may
be a rust-brown discoloration of the
skin (hyperpigmentation) that can be
permanent.
