SIDE EFFECT HOW TO ASSESS AND REACT
Warm feeling or tingling sensations
during treatment which typically
disappear after a few seconds to a
minute and decrease with continued
use.
This is expected and is normal for
all IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair
reduction device treatments. You
can keep on using the device as
instructed.
Discomfort or pain is intense
during treatment or persists after a
treatment.
Stop using the device and consult
your Doctor before using it again.
Skin redness during or after
treatment which disappears within
minutes to several hours.
This is expected and is normal
for all IPL hair reduction device
treatments. You can keep on using
the device as instructed once skin
redness has disappeared.
Skin redness which does not go
away within 24 48 hours after
treatment.
Stop using the device and consult
your Doctor before using it again.
IN VERY RARE CASES
Swelling and redness around the
hair follicle that disappears within
two or three days.
You can keep on using the device
as instructed once swelling and
redness around the hair follicle has
disappeared.
Swelling and redness around the
hair follicle that does not disappear

Temporary changes in skin colour
(lightening or darkening).
If your skin colour changes, stop
using the device and consult your

If this increase persists over several
treatments, stop using the device
and consult your Doctor.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
The lights on the SmoothSkin
control panel are not lit up
Make sure the power supply is
plugged in.
Ensure that the power cord to the
SmoothSkin base unit is plugged in
correctly.
SmoothSkin doesnt work on small
areas
For safety reasons, both contact
bars on the Treatment Window must
make positive contact with the skin.
If the area of the skin to be treated
is too small for this, SmoothSkin will
not emit a pulse of light.
Try and reposition the handset to
ensure both bars make contact with
gel on the treatment area.
The SmoothSkin base unit or
handset is broken, cracked or
appears defective.
DO NOT USE if the base unit,
handset, connecting cable or the
power supply is damaged. If you
are in any doubt about the safety
of SmoothSkin or suspect it is
damaged in any way, it must not be
used.
The red light on the Skin Tone
Sensor has come on or is ashing
and SmoothSkin wont respond.

in an unfamiliar pattern.
SmoothSkin will display any error
