Possible Side Effects And Skin Reactions - Philips TT3003 Benutzerhandbuch

When you use the appliance more frequently

skin reactions.

Possible side effects and skin reactions

common skin reactions:
- Your skin may show slight redness and/or may
prickles, tingle or feel warm. This reaction is
absolutely harmless and disappears quickly.
- A skin reaction similar to sunburn may occur on
the treated area for a short while. If this does not
disappear within 3 days, we advise you to consult
a doctor.
- 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
