use if the skin, in the area you want to treat, is tanned or burned.
DO NOT
use if your skin was tanned due to sun exposure, tanning beds
or tanning creams in the past 2 weeks. Use of the device on tanned or
burned skin may result in temporary or even permanent whitening or
darkening of the skin. If you are unsure if your skin is tanned or burned,
DO NOT

DO NOT

has not been tested on pregnant or breast-feeding
women.
DO NOT
use if you have epilepsy or light-induced seizures or migraines.
The energy flashes might cause severe headaches and migraines.
DO NOT
use on tattoos, dark brown or black spots (such as dark freckles,
birthmarks, moles or warts). Tattoos or dark spots may absorb too much
light energy which could cause skin swelling, temporary or permanent
blisters or discoloration of the skin or whitening of the skin.
DO NOT
use around the eyes, on the head, ears, nipples, genitalia, or
around the anus. Use in these areas could cause skin swelling, blisters, or
temporary skin discoloration or whitening of the skin.
DO NOT
use if you are under the age of 18. The effects of using
in this
age group are unknown.
DO NOT
use if you have any skin condition in the treatment area,
including acne, sores, psoriasis, eczema, burns, herpes simplex, wounds
or a rash. These conditions can make the skin more sensitive to the light
treatment and could make the treatment uncomfortable or cause skin
swelling, blisters or infection. Wait for the affected area to heal before
using. If you are not sure if your skin condition has healed enough to use
the device, then please consult with your doctor.
DO NOT
use the device if you have a history of kelodial scar formation,
a known sensitivity to light (photosensitivity) or are taking medication
that makes the skin more sensitive to light, including non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory agents, (e.g., aspirins, ibuprofens, cetaminophen),
tetracyclines, phenothiazines, thiazide, diuretics, sulfonyluraes,
sulfonamides, DTIC, fluorouracil, vinblastine, griseofulvin, Alpha-Hydroxi
Acids (AHAs), Beta-Hydroxi Acids (BHAs), Retin-A, Accutane and/or
topical retinoids.
DO NOT
expose treated areas to the sun during the entire treatment
period. Wait at least 2 weeks after the final treatment before you expose
treated skin to the sun or tan with artificial light. Even after 2 weeks, make
sure that the treated skin is not red from the treatment before you expose
it to the sun. Be sure to carefully protect the treated skin with sunscreen
throughout the hair removal period. Failure to follow this warning could
result in skin swelling, blisters, temporary or permanent skin discoloration
or skin whitening.
DO NOT
use if you have an active implant, such as a pacemaker,
incontinence device, insulin pump, etc. Use of the me system has not
been tested in individuals with active implants, and, therefore, the effects
are unknown.
DO NOT
use if you have been treated with Accutane® (isotretinoin) within
the past 6 months. This can make the skin more sensitive to the light
treatment and could make the treatment uncomfortable or cause skin
swelling, blisters or infection.
