Possible side effects and skin reactions
Use of the meˉ system could result in possible side effects. These reactions are rare and should resolve
within a short time. However, every cosmetic treatment may involve some degree of risk. The risk
is greater in individuals with darker skin types, since the skin in the treatment area absorbs more
heat from the light energy source. Possible rare reactions are described in the table below with the
recommended action.
