Dermadry treatments are generally well tolerated, but you may experience some temporary side effects, including:
Irritation, skin reddening, burning sensation, small blisters, and itching.
Tingling and stinging sensations.
Muscle numbness may occur.
Pain may be felt at the beginning of treatment or after the alternating polarity sequence.
- After the first few treatments, you may experience increase sweating, which could also cause increase body odor. This symptom will subside after a few treatments.
- In very rare cases, a harmless electric shock may occur if treatment is interrupted suddenly. To avoid this risk, slowly remove your hands, feet, or underarm electrodes. Hands, feet, and underarm electrodes can be safely removed at any time during treatment.
- Skin may become dry, and small lesions or scaling may occur.
- Some of the components of the device (made of silicone, cotton, or cellulose) may cause minor allergic reactions in some users. They may develop red, bumpy, scaly, itchy, or swollen skin at the point of contact. If you notice any allergic reaction developing on the treated area of skin, stop using the device.
What to do:
If you experience temporary side effects, follow these steps to ensure a safe, comfortable, and effective treatment session:
Wait until symptoms disappear completely before starting your next treatment.
Reduce the current intensity in your next session if you experience skin redness, irritation, tingling, numbness, itchiness, or pain.
Apply a moisturizing cream after your treatments to relieve dryness or flaking.
Cover small, pre-existing skin irritation, cuts, or sensitive spots with petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline) before starting a session to insulate them from the current.
If signs of an allergic reaction develop on the treated area of skin, stop using the device immediately.
If any side effects are visible (e.g., blisters, persistent redness, rashes), email a photo to our support team for evaluation before resuming treatment.
If you experience any serious side effects, immediately stop using the device and report it to your healthcare professional and to our support team.
If you're uncertain whether to resume use, contact your healthcare professional to get clearance or our support team for guidance.
Important Safety Reminder: Check for contraindications before beginning or continuing your treatments. You must ensure you have no contraindications. Please consult the comprehensive list of contraindications listed on page 3 of the instruction for use manual to confirm that the device is safe for you to use.
Note: 💡 Tip to Minimize Irritation: It is recommended to start your very first session at a low current (e.g., 1 mA) and gradually increase it to the highest comfortable level in subsequent sessions
