you should apply ice to the affected area regularly. Gentle cleaning does not pose a problem, but you
should avoid any exposure to the sun.
Infection
A skin infection is extremely rare, but may occur after a burn or a lesion of the skin caused by the Homelight epilator.
Bruising

10 days. As the blue disappears, the skin may take on a rusty colour (hyperpigmentation) that could be
permanent.
