The cause of this skin redness is the increased blood circulation due

to the warmth of the BlueTouch Pain Relief Patch.This skin redness is

harmless and fades after the treatment has ended.

- You may sometimes notice tanning after treatment.The cause of this

tan is the exposure to light - a similar effect to that caused by sunlight

- or to warmth.This effect is harmless and fades away by itself after a

number of weeks and sometimes a few months. Postpone treatment

until the tan has disappeared.To prevent tanning, resume treatment

in a lower mode and avoid excessive pressure on the BlueTouch Pain

Relief Patch during treatment, for example by sitting or lying on it or by

leaning heavily against it.
