PREPARING FOR USE
5.2 Tanning Advice
SUN EXPOSURE BEFORE TREATMENT
• Wait at least 48 hours after sunbathing before you use this device.
Sunbathing can cause skin to darken (tan) and/or can cause
sunburn (reddening of the skin).
• After these 48 hours, check the skin for any remaining sunburn.
Do not use as long as sunburn persists.
• When the sunburn has disappeared, perform a skin test on the
area to be treated to determine the appropriate light intensity, see
‘First use’ section.
• If your skin is tanned, you run a risk of developing skin reactions,
perform a skin test on the area to be treated to determine the
appropriate light intensity, see ‘First use’ section.
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.
• It is recommended to apply the optional VISS IPL Hair Removal
Post-treatment Gel anytime you plan to expose the treated areas
to the sun or artificial UV rays between treatments. Otherwise
you must either cover the treated areas or use non-perfumed sun
block with SPF 45+.
• Exposing treated areas to the sun immediately after treatment
without protection can increase the risk of adverse side effects
and skin reactions.
TANNING WITH ARTIFICIAL LIGHT
• Follow the instructions in ‘Sun exposure before treatment’ and
‘Sun exposure after treatment’ above.
