What safety features does it have?
The main safety feature regulates the power level, so that it can only be increased by 1 step per
treatment, starting from power level 1. This reduces the risk of using too high a power level. Power
can be decreased in as many steps as required.

or lightening of the skin in patches. They should both disappear within 24 hours.
