It is normal to feel some discomfort after a depilation session with
Homelight® .
However, any cosmetic treatment, even if designed for home use, has
its risks.
If light pulses applied by Homelight®
are overlapping or repeated on
the same area of skin, it is possible you may feel or see:
• A slightly unpleasant skin sensation:
although Homelight®
is generally very well tolerated, most people using it feel some
discomfort during use, often described as a tingling sensation on
the area of skin treated. In most cases, this tingling sensation is felt
during application and even possibly for a few minutes afterwards.
Any other discomfort apart from this mild pain is not normal and
either means that you need to stop treatment with Homelight®
because you do not tolerate it, or that your selected light pulse
intensity level is too high.
• Redness:
your skin may redden just after using Homelight®
or during
the following 24 hours. The redness usually disappears within 24
hours. See your doctor if the redness lasts longer than 2 to 3 days.
• Skin hypersensitivity:
skin is more sensitive on the treated area of
skin and may dry and scale.
• Burning or blistering:
very rarely, skin can be exposed to injury or
burns following treatment with Homelight®. Full recovery can take
several weeks and, in exceptional cases, a scar may remain.
• Scarring:
even though these are very rare cases, there may be
permanent scarring. In most instances these scars take the form of a
surface lesion with whitish colouration (hypotrophic). However, scars
may be wide and red (hypertrophic) or wide and extended behind
the injured area (keloid). More extensive cosmetic treatments may be
required to improve their appearance.
