Tanning advice
Avoid sunbathing when you use Philips Lumea Essential
-
regularly (every two weeks).
Sunbathing can cause skin to darken (tan) or can cause sunburn
(reddening of the skin). Using Philips Lumea Essential on darkened (tanned)
and/or sunburned skin increases the risk of adverse side effects and skin
reactions. See chapter 'Using the appliance', section 'Possible side effects and
skin reactions'.
- Sun exposure before treatment: Wait 2 weeks and perform
a skin test.
Wait at least 2 weeks after sunbathing before you use the appliance.
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. Failure to do so increases the risk of developing skin reactions
after treatment with Philips Lumea Essential.
Sun exposure after treatment: Wait 48 hours before
-
sunbathing after treatment with Philips Lumea Essential.
Wait at least 48 hours after treatment before you expose treated areas
to the sun. Even after 48 hours, make sure that the treated skin shows no
adverse reaction to the treatment 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 increases the risk of
adverse side effects and skin reactions. See chapter 'Using the appliance',
section 'Possible side effects and skin reactions'.
