My skin is reacting to treatment with VisaCare

Published on 2017-04-14

This treatment may lead to mild redness directly after the treatment. You may experience a warm, tingly sensation during the treatment. These effects usually disappear within several minutes and are generally experienced as pleasant.

It is possible that you experience dry or flaky skin, prolonged redness or swelling. In that case you may have pressed the appliance too hard on your face or treated the same area too many times. Try to exert less pressure onto the appliance during the next treatment or treat the area fewer times.

In rare cases the appliance may cause a bruise or blister, scratch or pigmentation change. Almost all skin reactions will disappear within a week, pigmentation change will decrease within several weeks or a few months.

To avoid possible side effects, use a day cream with sun protection factor or a sun protection cream after the treatment. This helps to avoid sunburn.
