proven. The results have been confirmed by a panel of independent

dermatologists.

after using Philips

RéAura laser skin

rejuvenation?

Yes, you can find these photos on www.philips.co.uk/myreaura.

Please note that results vary from person to person.

Which skin reactions

can I expect during

and after treatment?

During treatment, you may feel the laser prickle on your skin, your skin

may feel warm and you may experience some pain. The amount of

discomfort depends on various factors. After treatment, your skin may

be red and slightly swollen. For more details, see ‘Skin reactions and side

effects’ in chapter ‘how your skin responds to the treatments’. Contact

the Philips skincare expert team if you have any concerns or questions.

Can I use the

device safely?

If you are on medication or have health concerns, you must read section

‘Contraindications and other warnings’ in chapter ‘Important safety

information’ before you use the device. We advise everyone to read this

chapter before they use this device.

Can the laser harm

my skin?

no. The laser dosage system ensures that only a safe amount of laser

energy is applied to your skin. Follow the instructions in this user manual

and you can use the laser skin rejuvenation device safely.

Can the laser harm

my eyesight?

The laser skin rejuvenation device has an integrated safety system that

prevents the laser beam from shining into your eyes when the device

is used properly and according to the instructions. For details on the

safety features, see section ‘Safety features’ in chapter ‘Important safety

information’. Do not use the device on the eyelids and on the soft area

below the eye. Only treat the area around the eye where you can feel

bone beneath the skin.
