2 Each body area and possibly even parts of a body area may require a
separate appropriate light intensity according to the recommended
light intensities table below. The method is more effective at higher
intensities, but you should reduce the light intensity if you experience
any pain or discomfort.
Persons with darker skin run a higher risk of skin irritation because their
skin absorbs more light. Therefore lower intensities are recommended
for persons with darker skin.
The light intensity you use can feel warm or hot on the skin, but should
never feel uncomfortable. To prevent skin reactions, see chapter 'Using
the appliance', section 'Possible side effects and skin reactions'.

method, it may be darker than during the previous treatment. Check the
table above to determine which settings are suitable for your skin colour.

Tanning advice

sun exposure before treatment
- Wait at least 48 hours after sunbathing before you use the appliance.
Sunbathing can cause skin to darken (tan) and/or can cause sunburn
(reddening of the skin).
- After these 48 hours, check the skin for any remaining sunburn. Do not
use Philips Lumea for men as long as sunburn persists.
- When the sunburn has disappeared, perform a skin test (see chapter
'Using the appliance', section 'First use and skin test') on the area to be
treated to determine the appropriate light intensity.
