AFTER TREATMENT
After treatment, do not expose the skin to the sun and/or tanning
lights. For the following two weeks after each treatment session, in
case of exposure to the sun, protect the treated skin with a minimum
of SPF30 cream.
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
When used in accordance with the instructions, side effects and complications associated with
the use of the appliance are rare. However, any cosmetic procedure, including those intended
for household use, involve some risk. Consequently, it is important to understand and accept the
risks and complications that may occur with designed pulsed light epilation systems for household
use.

Minimal Skin Discomfort
Despite the domestic pulsed light treatments are generally tolerated very well, most users try a
annoyance during use, generally described as a slight warm sensation or a pinch in the treated
skin areas. This sensation can be an alert during application or for a few minutes after application.
Any sensation beyond this minimal annoyance is not normal and it means that you need to
interrupt the use because your skin is not able to tolerate epilation treatment, or the energy level
is too high.
Skin Redness
Skin may be reddened immediately after using appliance or during the following 24 hours. Redness
generally disappears within 24 hours. Consult your physician if the redness does not disappear
within 2 or 3 days..
Increased Skin Sensitivity
The skin of the treated area becomes more sensitive and can be dry or scaly.
Skin wounds and burns
Burns or wounds may occur after application. They may take a few weeks to heal, and, in very
rare cases, may leave a visible permanent scar.
Scars
Although it is very rare, permanent scars may be formed. Generally when scars are formed, they
have a flat lesion and white skin (hypertrophic). However, the scar may be very large and red
(hypertrophic) or large and extends beyond the margins of the wound itself (keloid). Subsequent
aesthetic treatments can be necessary to improve the appearance of the scar.
Pigmentation Changes
In some rare cases there is a risk of temporary pigmentation (greater pigment or
Brown bleaching) or IPO-pigmentation (whitening) in the surrounding skin area leeping. The risk
of skin pigmentation change is higher for people with dark skin complexion.
Redness and excessive swelling
In some rare cases the skin can become very red and swollen. This is more common in sensitive
areas of the body. Redness and swelling should decrease between 2 and 7 days later, it must be
cured with frequent applications of ice. You can gently wipe the area, but avoid exposing to the
sun.
Infection
Infection of the skin is very rare but it is a possible risk due to scalding or injury caused by the
device.
Bruises
Very seldom use of the device may cause blue-violet bruises that may last from 5 to 10 days.
