Tanning with creams
Before you use your Lumea
Pretreating your skin
- After each treatment, wait at least 48 hours
before tanning. Even after 48 hours, make sure
that the treated skin does not show any redness
from the treatment anymore.
- In case of exposing your skin to the sun
(without tanning intentionally) in the 48 hours
after treatment, use a sunblock SPF 50+ on the
treated areas. After this period, you can use a
sunblock SPF 30+ for two weeks.
- After tanning, wait at least 2 weeks before you
use Lumea. Perform a skin test to determine the
appropriate light intensity setting.
- Do not use Lumea on sunburned body areas.
Note: Occasional and indirect sun exposure
does not qualify as tanning.
If you have used an artificial tanning lotion, wait
until the artificial tan has disappeared completely
before you use the device.
Before you use Lumea, you should pretreat your
skin by removing hairs on the surface of your skin.
This allows the light to be absorbed by the hair
parts below the skin surface to ensure effective
treatment. You can either shave, short-trim, epilate
or wax. Do not use depilatory creams, as chemicals
may cause skin reactions.
