• Skin Redness
Redness on the treated area may appear after treatment
or within 24 hours. Consult your physician in case the
redness does not disappear after 2 to 3 days.
• Skin Sensitivity
You may feel that skin in the treated area is more sensi-
tive or you may encounter dryness or flaking of the skin.
• Skin Burns
Rarely, burns on the treated area can occur following the
use of the hair removal reduction system. The burns can
require a few weeks to heal and, extremely rarely, may
leave a visible scar.
• Scarring
In rare cases, permanent scarring may occur. Usually
when scarring occurs it is in the form of a flat and white
lesion on the skin (hypotrophic). However, it can be large
and red (hypertrophic) or large and extend beyond the
margins of the injury itself (keloid). Subsequent aesthetic
treatments may be required to improve the appearance
of the scar.
• Pigment Changes
Use of the device may cause temporary skin hyperpig-
mentation (increased pigment or brown discoloration) or
hypopigmentation (whitening) to the surrounding skin.
The risk is higher for people with darker skin tones. Usu-
ally discoloration or changes to skin pigment are tempor-
ary and permanent hyperpigmentation or hypopigmenta-
tion rarely occur.
• Excessive Redness and Swelling
Very rarely, the treated area skin may become red and
swollen. This side effect is most common in sensitive
areas of the body. Redness and swelling should decrease
after 2 to 7 days and you should treat the area by apply-
ing ice. Avoid exposure to sun.
• Infection
In rare cases, infection of the skin could occur after a
burn caused by the treatment.
• Bruising
Blue-purple bruising is exceedingly rare and could last 5
to 10 days. As bruising fades, there could be a perma-
nent rusty brown discoloration of the skin (hyperpigmen-
tation).
Benefits
This device features a built-in skin color sensor that con-
tinually evaluates your skin tone and allows treatment only
on suitable areas. This safety feature also disables treat-
ment if the skin in the treatment area is too dark or tanned,
