Pigment changes
The Skinera™ IPL device targets the hair shaft, in particular the pigmented
cells in the hair follicle and the hair follicle itself. Nevertheless there is a risk of
temporary hyperpigmentation (increased pigment or brown discolouration)
or hypo-pigmentation (whitening) to the surrounding skin. Risk of changes
in skin pigmentation is higher for people with darker skin tones or heavily
tanned skin. Usually discolouration or changes to skin pigment are
temporary, and permanent hyperpigmentation or hypo-pigmentation are
rare.
Excessive redness and swelling
In rare cases, treated skin may become very red and swollen. This is more
common in sensitive areas of the body. The redness and swelling should
subside within 2 to 7 days and should be treated with frequent applications
of ice. Gentle cleansing is OK, but avoid exposure to the sun.
Blisters or burns
Cool the affected area and apply anti-burn cream. Wait until the area has
healed completely before another treatment, and use a lower energy level.
If the skin does not return to normal within 3 days, consult your
physician.
8. Long-term hair removal the Skinera™ way
The efficiency of hair removal varies from person to person according to body
area, hair colour, and how the Skinera™ IPL device is used. A typical full hair
growth cycle may take 18-24 months. During this time, multiple treatment
sessions are required to achieve permanent hair removal.
A typical Skinera™ IPL device hair removal plan during a full hair growth cycle
includes:
Treatments 1-4: Plan two weeks apart.
Treatments 5-7: Plan four weeks apart.
Treatments 8+: Treat as needed, until desired results are achieved.
