After use

Common skin reactions

Your skin may show slight redness and/or may prickle, tingle or feel
warm. This reaction disappears quickly.
Dry skin and itching may occur due to shaving or a combination of
shaving and light treatment. You can cool the area with an ice pack
or a wet face cloth. If dryness persists, you can apply a non-scented
moisturizer on the treated area.

Rare side effects

- Burns, excessive redness (e.g. around hair follicles) and swelling:
these reactions occur rarely. They are the result of using a light
intensity that is too high for your skin tone. 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 discoloration: this occurs very rarely. Skin discoloration
manifests itself as either a darker patch (hyperpigmentation) or a
lighter patch (hypopigmentation) than the surrounding area. This is
the result of using a light intensity that is too high for your skin
tone. If the discoloration does not disappear within 2 weeks, we
advise you to consult a doctor. Do not treat discolored areas until
the discoloration has disappeared and your skin has regained its
normal skin tone.
- Skin infection is very rare but is a possible risk following a
(micro)wound, a skin burn, skin irritation etc.
- The Slide & Flash mode offers convenient use on larger areas like legs.
Keep the flash button pressed while you slide the device over your
skin to release several flashes in a row.
Note: The device needs up to 2 seconds in between two flashes, so make
sure that you flash on every area you wish to treat. Sliding too fast over
the skin will cause missed spots.
