Adverse Reaction
Pigment changes
Silk’n SatinGlow targets the hair shaft, in particular the pigmented cells in the hair follicle and
the hair follicle itself. Nevertheless there is risk of temporary hyperpigmentation (increased
pigment or brown discolouration) or hypopigmentation (whitening) to the surrounding skin.
This risk of changes in skin pigmentation is higher for people with darker skin tones. Usually
discolouration or changes to skin pigment are temporary and permanent hyperpigmentation or
hypopigmentation rarely occur.
Excessive redness and swelling
In rare cases treated skin may become very red and swollen. This is more common in sensitive
areas of the body. The redness and swelling should subside within 2 to 7 days and should be
treated with frequent applications of ice. Gentle cleansing is OK, but one should avoid exposure to
sun.
M
Hair removal by lasers or intense pulse light sources can cause increased hair
growth in some individuals. Based upon currently available data, the highest risk
groups for this response are females of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and South
Asian heritage treated on the face and neck.
