7. Possible side effects

If you follow the instructions fully and pay attention to all warnings and
EN
contraindications, complications and side effects are uncommon. However
every cosmetic procedure, including those designed for home use, involves
some degree of risk. Therefore, it is important that you understand and accept
the risks and complications that may occur with pulsed light hair removal
systems designed for home use.
Minor skin discomfort
IPL hair removal is generally well-tolerated. However, some users feel mild
discomfort during use. This is best described as a mild stinging sensation
on the treated skin areas. The stinging sensation may last during or after
treatment.
Anything beyond this minor discomfort is abnormal. This means that
either you should stop using the Skinera™ IPL device because you are
unable to tolerate the hair removal application, or that the energy
level setting is too high.
Skin redness
Your skin may become red immediately after using the device or within 24
hours. Redness generally clears up within 24 hours.
See your doctor if redness does not go away within 2 to 3 days.
Make sure you use the energy level that is comfortable for you and suitable
for your skin colour.
Increased sensitivity of the skin
The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you may encounter dryness
or flaking of the skin.
