- After these 48 hours, check the skin for any remaining sunburn. Do not
use Philips Lumea Precision Plus as long as sunburn persists.
- When the sunburn has disappeared, perform a skin test (see chapter
'Using the appliance', section 'First use') on the area to be treated to
determine the appropriate light intensity.
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 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 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 an artificial tanning lotion, wait until the artificial tan
has fully disappeared before you use Philips Lumea Precision Plus.
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 'Setting the light intensity' to determine which light intensities
are most suitable for your skin and body hair colour. Use the appliance in
a well-lit room; this reduces the perceived brightness of the flash. 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 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.

Choosing the right attachment

Body attachment
-
The body attachment can be used to treat unwanted body hair on all
body areas below the neck (for exceptions, see chapter 'Important', section
'Contraindications'). The body attachment can cover an area of 4cm² and
has been specially designed for faster treatment of larger areas like legs.
Do not use the body attachment on the face.
