6.5 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.
• Skin discolouration: this occurs very rarely. Skin discolouration
manifests itself as either a darker or lighter patch than the
surrounding area. This is the result of using a light intensity that
is too high for your skin colour. If the discolouration does not
disappear within 2 weeks, we advise you to consult a doctor. Do not
treat discoloured areas until the discolouration has disappeared
and your skin has regained its normal skin colour.
