7. Possible side effects
If you follow the instructions fully and pay attention to all warnings and
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
Home pulsed light 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.
This means that you should use Silk'n BellaFlash Pro at a lower energy level,
and if that doesn't help, you should stop using the device.
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 color. Refer to section "9.1 Before your first treatment".
Increased sensitivity of the skin
The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you may encounter dryness
or flaking of the skin.
Excessive redness and swelling
In rare cases, treated skin may become very red and swollen. This is more
common in sensitive areas of the body. The redness and swelling should
subside within 2 to 7 days and should be treated with frequent applications of
ice. Gentle cleansing is OK, but avoid exposure to the sun.
