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'.
- Tanning with artificial light
Follow the instructions in 'Sun exposure before treatment' and
'Sun exposure after treatment' above.
- Tanning with creams
If you have used an artificial tanning lotion, wait until the artificial tan has
fully disappeared before you use Philips Lumea Essential.
Note: For more details on unwanted skin reactions, see chapter 'Using the
appliance', section 'Possible side effects and skin reactions'.
Using the appliance
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter 'Preparing for
use', section 'Light intensity' to determine which light intensities are most
suitable for your skin and body hair colour.
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 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.
First use and skin test
When you use the appliance for the first time or after recent tanning,
we advise you to perform a skin test on each area to be treated to check
your skin's reaction to the treatment and to get accustomed to light-based
treatment.
1 Choose an area close to the area you intend to treat.
2 Insert the small plug into the appliance and put the adapter in the
wall socket.
Note: Make sure the body attachment is placed on the appliance.
3 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
