Harmless
The cause of this skin darkening is the exposure to infrared light/warmth. This effect is typically harmless and fades away by itself after a number of weeks and sometimes after a few months. Postpone the treatment until the skin darkening has disappeared.
Prevention
To prevent skin darkening, increase the distance between the body and infrared lamp and/or reduce the treatment time and/or reduce the frequency of using InfraCare and/or resume treatment in a lower mode (only for HP3641).
