Scarring
Although very rare, scarring may occur. Usually, the scar is in the
form of a flat and white lesion on the skin (hypotrophic). However,
it can be large and red (hypertrophic) or large and extend beyond
EN
the margins of the injury itself (keloid). Subsequent aesthetic
treatments may be required to improve the appearance of the
scar.
Pigment changes
The device targets the hair shaft, in particular the pigmented cells
in the hair follicle and the hair follicle itself. Nevertheless there is
a risk of temporary hyper-pigmentation (increased pigment or
brown discolouration) or hypopigmentation (whitening) to the
surrounding skin. Risk of changes in skin pigmentation is higher
for people with darker skin tones or heavily tanned skin. Usually
discolouration or changes to skin pigment are temporary, and
permanent hyper-pigmentation or hypopigmentation are rare.
