English
- Epidermal heating (a sharply defined brownish area which often
occurs with darker skin tones and is not accompanied with skin
dryness): This reaction occurs very rarely. In case this reaction does
not disappear within 1 week, 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.
- Blistering (looks like small bubbles on the surface of the skin): this
occurs very rarely. In case this reaction does not disappear within 1
month or when the skin gets infected, 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.
- Scarring: often the secondary effect of a burn, which can take
longer than a month to heal.
- Folliculitis (swelling around hair follicles combined with pustule
formation): this reaction occurs very rarely and is the result of
bacteria penetrating the damaged skin. In case this reaction
occurs, we advise you to consult a doctor as folliculitis may need
antibiotic ointment.
- Pain: this can occur during or after treatment if you have used the
device on skin that is not hair-free, if you use the device at a light
intensity that is too high for your skin tone, if you flash the same
area more than once and if you use the device on open wounds,
inflammations, infections, tattoos, burns, etc.
Aftercare
Cleaning & storage
After use, you can safely apply lotions, creams, deodorant, moisturizer or
cosmetics to the treated areas. If you experience skin irritation or skin
redness after treatment, wait until it disappears before applying any product
to your skin. If you experience skin irritation after applying a product to your
skin, wash it off with water.
Note: when following all instructions you may still get skin reactions. In this
case stop using the device and contact the consumer care center in your
country.
After use, switch off the device, unplug it and let it cool down.
