This device may not be used on men's faces and in women only below the
cheekbones. Do not use the device on the mucous membranes in the ear
and nose region. As the facial skin is very sensitive, we recommend only
use Level 2 as a maximum intensity here. When applying to the upper lip,
cheek, jaw, chin or neck use the utmost care. You could for example move
your lips inwards during the application or press them together, to tauten
the treatment area. If necessary you could apply white eyeliner pencil to the
lips and lip edges - this will ensure that the energy of the flash is reflected
and does not reach your lips, if you accidentally aim a pulse at the lips.
After the treatment the skin could possibly be slightly red, tingle or feel
warm. This is however completely harmless and should abate in a short
time. Nevertheless you can still take simple steps to relax your skin after the
application of the Silhouette IPL 800 and to accelerate the regeneration.
You can apply a soothing or moisturising and non-perfumed lotion, e.g. aloe
vera, to the treated areas. You can also cool down the area by applying a
wet wash cloth or an icepack for a few minutes. However, avoid the applica-
tion of peels, bleaching creams, deodorants etc for at least 48 hours after
the treatment. Also direct sunlight and artificial tanning should be avoided
for at least 48 hours. After this time the treated skin should be treated with
a sun protection cream light protection factor 30, if the skin will be exposed
to direct sunlight within the following 2 weeks.
Avoid removing hair from the treated areas with wax or by plucking.
