Tanning With Creams; Before You Use Your Lumea; Pretreating Your Skin - Philips Lumea BRI863/00 Manual

Tanning with creams

Before you use your Lumea

Pretreating your skin

- After recent tanning, perform a skin test to
determine the appropriate light intensity setting.
For instructions see chapter 'Skin test'.
- 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.
If you choose to wax, please wait 24 hours before
using Lumea to let your skin rest. We recommend
that you take a shower before the treatment to
ensure that all possible residue of wax has been
removed from your skin.
1 Pretreat the areas you intend to treat with
Lumea.
2 Clean your skin and make sure it is hair-free,
entirely dry and free from oily substances.
Note: if shaving causes skin irritation, we advise
you not to use the device until skin irritation is
resolved.
