- If your skin is tanned, perform a skin test (see chapter ‘Using the
appliance’, section ‘First use’) on the area to be treated to determine
the appropriate light intensity. A failure to do so causes a risk of
developing skin reactions after treatment with Philips Lumea.
- Wait at least 24 hours after treatment before you expose treated
areas to the sun. Even after 24 hours, make sure that the treated skin
does not show any redness from the treatment anymore before you
expose it to the sun.
- Cover treated areas when you go out into the sun or use a sunblock
(SPF 30+) in the two weeks after treatment.
- Exposing treated areas to sunlight without protection immediately
after treatment can increase the risk of adverse side effects and skin
reactions. See chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘Possible side effects
and skin reactions’.
- Follow the instructions in ‘Sun exposure before treatment’ and ‘Sun
exposure after treatment’ above.
- If you have used an articial tanning lotion, wait until the articial tan
has fully disappeared before you use Philips Lumea.
Note: For more details on unwanted skin reactions, see chapter ‘Using the
appliance’, section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to determine which light intensities
are most suitable for your skin and body hair colour. Use the appliance in
a room; this reduces the perceived brightness of the ash. Shave
the area you intend to treat before you use the appliance (see chapter
‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Preparing treatment areas’).
If the treatment becomes intolerably painful at any point in time, reduce
the light intensity setting until the treatment is comfortable again. If you
notice skin reactions stronger than slight redness, stop the treatment
immediately and read section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’ in
this chapter.
