or a wet face cloth. If dryness persists, you can apply a non-scented

moisturizer on the treated area 24 hours after the treatment.

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.

Epidermal heating (a sharply defined brownish area which often

occurs with darker skin tones and is not accompanied with skin

dryness): This reaction occurs very rarely. In case this reaction does

not disappear within 1 week, 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.

Blistering (looks like small bubbles on the surface of the skin): this

occurs very rarely. In case this reaction does not disappear within 1

month or when the skin gets infected, 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.

Scarring: often the secondary effect of a burn, which can take

longer than a month to heal.
