6.6 How to achieve optimal results
• Avoid treating exactly the same area multiple times during one
session as this does not improve the effectiveness of the device.
However, this does increase the risk of skin reactions.
• Never flash the same area twice without lifting the device
off the skin. This prevents excessive heating and possible
burning of the skin.
• Follow treatment schedule. Do not attempt to speed up results
as hairs are in different stages of the cycle of hair growth during
treatment. They are only vulnerable at a certain time in the cycle.
6.7 Possible side effects
and skin reactions
• Your skin shows slight redness and/or prickles, tingles or
feels warm. This phenomenon is absolutely harmless and
disappears quickly.
• A skin reaction similar to sunburn may occur on the treated area
for a short while. If this does not disappear within 3 days, we
advise you to consult a doctor.
• 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 facecloth. If dryness persists, you can apply a non-scented
moisturizer on the treated area 24 hours after the treatment.
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.
