Minimal Discomfort to the Skin
Despite home use pulsed light epilation is generally very well tolerated, most
users experience mild discomfort during use, which is usually described as a
slight feeling of warmth or tingling in the treated sections. This feeling can be
felt during the treatment or a few seconds after.
Any other discomfort is not normal and treatment must be stopped because
your skin does not tolerate the hair removal treatment or the power level
setting is too high.
Redness on the Skin
The skin may become red immediately after using the appliance or within
the subsequent 24 hours. The redness usually disappears within 24 hours.
Consult your doctor is the redness does not disappear within 2 or 3 days.
Greater Skin Sensitivity
The treated skin becomes more sensitive and may become dry or flaky.
Wounds and Burns on the Skin
Very rarely, burns or wounds may appear after the treatment. Burns or
wounds can take several weeks to heal and very rarely, may leave a visible
permanent scar.
Scars
Even though it is very rare, permanent scarring may occur. Generally, when
scars are formed, they appear flat and white (hypotrophic).
However, the scar may also be big and red (hypertrophic) or big and beyond
the wound itself (keloid). Subsequent aesthetic treatment may be required to
improve the appearance of the scar.
Changes in pigmentation
In some rare cases, there lies the risk of temporary hyperpigmentation
(increased pigment or brown discolouration) or hypopigmentation
(whitening) in the skin surrounding the hair. The risk of changes in skin
pigmentation is higher in persons who have a dark skin tone. Generally,
discolouration or changes in the skin pigment are temporary, and permanent
hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation is rare.
Excessive Swelling and Redness
In some rare cases, the skin may become very red and swollen. This is more
common in sensitive parts of the body. The redness and swelling should
lessen in the following 2 to 7 days and ice must be applied often. The area
can be cleaned gently, however, avoid exposure to sun.
Infection
Skin infection is very rare, however, it may still occur following a burn or
wound caused by the appliance.
Bruising
Very rarely, blue-purple bruising may be caused after using the appliance and
may last fro 5 to 10 days. As the bruise fades, rust-brown skin discolouration
may occur (hyperpigmentation), which may be permanent.
Please consult your doctor or dermatologist in the case of side effects or
complications.
