Rare Side Effects; After Use; Cleaning And Maintenance - Philips TT3003 Mode D'emploi

Cleaning and maintenance

Rare side effects:

-
Burns, excessive redness and swelling: these reactions occur very rarely.
They are the result of using a light intensity that is too high for your skin
colour. If these reactions do not disappear within 3 days, we advise you
to consult a doctor. Wait with the next treatment until the skin has healed
completely and make sure you use a lower light intensity.
-
Skin discolouration: this occurs very rarely. Skin discolouration manifests
itself as either a darker patch (hyperpigmentation) or lighter patch
(hypopigmentation) than the surrounding area. This is the result of using
a light intensity 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
and your skin has regained its normal skin colour.
-
Skin infection and inflammation: This occurs very rarely and may be
caused by using the appliance on wounds or cuts that resulted from
shaving, on already existing wounds or on ingrown hairs.
-
Excessive pain: this can occur during or after treatment if you have
used the appliance on unshaved skin, if you use the appliance at a
light intensity 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 'Important',
section 'Contraindications' for more information.
