Slight annoying sensation in the skin
Even if the home pulsed light depilation is generally tolerated well, most people who use it feel a slight
annoying sensation during use, often described as a prickling sensation on the area being treated.
Generally, this sensation lasts throughout the application, even for a few minutes afterwards. Any
discomfort beyond this annoying sensation is abnormal and means that either you must stop the
treatment, because you cannot tolerate it, or you must lower the selected power level.
Redness
Your skin could become red just after use of the Homelight epilator or in the 24 hours following
treatment. The redness generally disappears within 24 hours. Consult your physician if it persists longer
than 2 to 3 days.
Hypersensitivity of the skin
The skin is more sensitive in the area that has been treated and could dry out and scale.
Burns or sores
Very rarely, the skin may be exposed to injuries or burns following the application. Several weeks may
be necessary for it to heal completely and, in exceptional cases, a scar may remain.
Scarring
Even if these cases are very rare, permanent scars may appear. Generally, the scars take the form of
a whitish superfi cial lesion (hypotrophic). Nonetheless, the scar may be large and red (hypertrophic)
or large and extended beyond the injured area (keloid). More advanced cosmetic treatment may be
required to improve the appearance.
