Philips Lumea Advanced SC1996 Faq page 3

* Wait at least 48 hours after tanning before you use Philips Lumea.
* Do not use Philips Lumea if you have sunburned skin and for as long as the sunburn persists.
* Be aware that all types of tanning darken the skin.
* Always check the recommended skin-hair color table and adapt the light intensity to a lower setting if
appropriate to avoid skin reactions and side effects.
Tanning after using Philips Lumea:
* Your skin will be more sensitive directly after the treatment.
* Wait at least 24 hours or until all redness has disappeared before you expose treated areas to the sun.
* Cover treated areas when you go out into the sun or use a sunblock (*50 SPF) in the 48 hours after
treatment.
Are there any side effects during or after treatments?
If you use your Lumea according to instructions, you should not experience any serious side
effects.
However, these minor skin reactions may be experienced:
* Redness: The appearance of slight to moderate redness immediately after the treatment is both harmless
and normal and will disappear quickly.
* Warmth: You may feel warmth, itching and a burning or tingling sensation during the treatment. Again,
this is normal and you will find that the sensation disappears immediately after treatment.
Please read the user manual - especially the contraindication list - carefully and follow the instructions at all
times.
If any other side effects appear, please consult a doctor.
