Beurer IPL 9000 Mode D'emploi page 33

WARNING
Do not increase the energy level if you experience an abnormal amount of pain during or after the
treatment using the beurer SalonPro System! (See "Step 6 Familiarise yourself with the possible side-
effects")
Do not increase the energy level during the hair removal session, even if you do not notice any dis-
comfort.
Irritation can occur some time after the treatment itself.
WARNING
Do not treat the same area of skin more than once per hair removal session!
Treating an area of skin more than once during a single hair removal session can increase the proba-
bility of side effects.
Try to avoid overlapping pulses.
STEP 6: Familiarise yourself with the possible side-effects of using the beurer SalonPro System
If the beurer SalonPro System is used in accordance with these instructions for use, side effects and
complications seldom occur in relation to the use of the beurer SalonPro System. However, every cos-
metic treatment method – including methods such as these designed for use at home – is associated
with a certain degree of risk. That is why it is important that you understand and accept the risks and
complications that can occur with hair removal systems for use at home that use pulsed light.
Complication
Impact of seve-
ral pulses on the
same area of skin
Slight soreness to skin
Although hair removal at home using pulsed light is generally tolerated very well, the majority of users
experience slight discomfort during the treatment, which is usually described as a slight stinging on
the treated skin area. The stinging usually lasts for the duration of the treatment or a few minutes after-
wards. Anything beyond this slight discomfort is not normal and means that you should discontinue
using the beurer SalonPro System because the hair removal treatment is not suitable for you or the
energy level setting is too high.
Reddening of the skin
Your skin may become red directly after treatment using the beurer SalonPro System or within 24 hours
after the treatment. Any reddening generally fades within 24 hours. Consult your doctor if the reddening
does not disappear within two or three days.
Increased sensitivity of the skin
The skin on the treated area is more sensitive, which can lead to dryness or skin peeling.
