Adverse Reaction
Minor Skin Discomfort –
Although home pulsed light hair removal is generally very well-tolerated, most
users do feel some mild discomfort during use, usually described as being a mild
stinging sensation on the treated skin areas. The stinging sensation usually lasts
during the time of the application itself or for a few minutes thereafter.
Anything beyond this minor discomfort is abnormal and means that either you
should not continue using Silk'n Infinity™ because you are unable to tolerate the
hair removal application, or that the energy level setting is too high.
Skin Redness –
Your skin may become red right after using Silk'n Infinity™ or within 24 hours of
using Silk'n Infinity™. Redness generally clears up within 24 hours. See your doctor
if redness does not go away within 2 to 3 days.
Increased Sensitivity to Skin –
The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you may encounter dryness or
flaking of the skin.
Pigment Changes –
Silk'n Infinity™ 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 discoloration 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 sunlight.
