Operation Manual

- Dry skin and itching may occur because of the
combination of shaving and light treatment.
This is harmless and disappears within a few days.
You can cool the area with an ice pack or a wet
cloth. If dryness persists, you can apply a non-scented
moisturiser on the treated area 24 hours after the
treatment.
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 inammation: 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
ash the same area more than once and if you
use the appliance on open wounds, inammations,
infections, tattoos, burns, etc. See chapter ‘Important’,
section ‘Contraindications’ for more information.
