Philips Lumea, Instruction Manual

Page: 21 / 110

- Folliculitis (swelling around hair follicles combined with pustule
formation): this reaction occurs very rarely and is the result of
bacteria penetrating the damaged skin. In case this reaction
occurs, we advise you to consult a doctor as folliculitis may need
antibiotic ointment.
- Excessive pain: this can occur during or after treatment if you have
used the device on skin that is not hair-free, if you use the device
at a light intensity that is too high for your skin tone, if you flash the
same area more than once and if you use the device on open
wounds, inflammations, infections, tattoos, burns, etc.
Aftercare
After use, you can safely apply lotions, creams, deodorant, moisturizer or
cosmetics to the treated areas. If you experience skin irritation or skin
redness after treatment, wait until it disappears before applying any product
to your skin. If you experience skin irritation after applying a product to your
skin, wash it off with water.
Note: when following all instructions you may still get skin reactions. In this
case stop using the device and contact the consumer care center in your
country.
