2.5 SECONDARY EFFECTS
Healing crisis: If the patient has consumed drugs or other toxical substances (alcohol,
tobacco, etc.) or has a history of liver dysfunction (cirrosis, hepatitis, etc.), there may be
a side side effect at the time of treatment. It has been observed that the treatment may
favor the elimination process of these materials if the device is applied in areas where
there is toxicity. The symptoms are temporary, and can be asthenia, headache, diarrhea
or fatigue in general, depending on the nature of the item being removed. Therefore, it is
appropriate to recommend the intake of plenty of water and rest. At the time that the
circulating elements are removed, the patient returns to normal.
Skin Irritation: In the event of sensitive skin with microcirculation problems, or a history
of smoking, the application of this device may cause skin irritation, if the power applied
by the equipment is excessive. This could produce small microcapillary ruptures, when
there is a lack of capillary flexibility and the blood supply generated by the machine is too
high. For this reason, you should control the power of the device in the event that a
deficiency in the peripheral circulation is detected. Likewise, you may also cause skin
irritation reactions, or even burns if the operator uses the device to infuse different type
of substances (acids, oils, cryogenic substances, thermogenic, anesthetic or abrasive)
with different aims.
