Common side effects
- Your skin may show slight redness and/or may tingle
or feel warm. This reaction is absolutely harmless and
disappears quickly.
- A skin reaction similar to sunburn may occur on the
treated area for a short while. If this does not disappear
within 3 days, we advise you to consult a doctor.
- Dry skin and itching may occur due to shaving or a
combination of shaving and light treatment. This is
harmless and disappears within a few days. You can cool
the area with an ice pack or a wet facecloth. If dryness
persists, you can apply a non-scented moisturiser to the
skin 24 hours after the treatment.
Rare side effects
- Burns, excessive redness and swelling occur rarely and
are usually the result of using an intensity level that is
too high for your skin colour. If these reactions do not
disappear within 3 days, we advise you to consult a
doctor. Postpone the next treatment until the skin has
healed completely and use a lower intensity level.
- Skin discolouration occurs very rarely. Skin discolouration
manifests itself as either a darker or lighter patch than
the surrounding area. This may happen if you use an
intensity level that is too high for your skin colour. If the
discolouration does not disappear within 2 weeks,
we advise you to consult a doctor. Do not treat
discoloured areas until the discolouration has disappeared.
- Skin infection and inflammation occur very rarely.
These reactions may occur when you use the appliance
on shaving wounds or cuts, on already existing wounds
or on ingrown hairs.
- Excessive pain may occur during or after treatment if
you use the appliance on unshaved skin, if you use the
appliance at an intensity level that is too high for your skin
colour, if you flash the same area more than once, and if
you use the appliance on open wounds, inflammations,
infections, tattoos, burns, etc. See chapter 'Contraindications,
precautions and warnings' for more information.
