Using The Appliance; First Use And Skin Test - Philips TT3000 User Manual

- If your skin is tanned, perform a skin test (see chapter 'Using the
appliance', section 'First use and skin test') on the area to be treated and
select the appropriate light intensity. A failure to do so causes a risk of
developing skin reactions after treatment with Philips Lumea for men.
sun exposure after treatment
- Wait at least 24 hours after treatment before you expose treated
areas to the sun. Even after 24 hours, make sure that the treated skin
does not show any redness from the treatment anymore before you
expose it to the sun.
- Cover treated areas when you go out in the sun or use a sun block
(SPF 30+) in the two weeks after the treatment.
- Exposing treated areas to the sun immediately after treatment without
protection can increase 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 artificial tanning lotion, wait until the artificial tan has
fully disappeared before you use Philips Lumea for men.

Using the appliance

If the treatment becomes intolerably 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, we advise you to perform
a skin test on the 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 intended treatment area.
2 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
Intensity light 1 goes on automatically to indicate that the appliance
,
is switched on at default intensity 1.
