Most people will experience some discomfort (heat or redness of the skin) when using the
Boots Smooth Skin system, and this is normal. You may feel heat and tingling when triggering
the light pulse followed by localised redness in the skin. This type of reaction usually disappears
after 24 hours and is not a side effect that needs any action.
Side effects are usually immediate or appear within 24 hours. In rare cases it may take up to
72 hours to appear.
