The surface of the unprotected eye can
inflame, and excessive exposure can even
damage
the
retina
under
certain
circumstances. A cataract can build up after
several repeated exposures.
Consult a physician prior to treatment when
suffering from individual sensibilities or allergic
reactions connected to UVA exposure.
You should always take the following safety
measures:
o
always use the included safety goggles;
contact lenses or sunglasses are not an
equivalent substitute for the safety goggles;
o
remove any cosmetic products and make
up prior to the treatment and do not use
any sunscreen or products that could
accelerate tanning;
o
certain medical conditions or side effects
can be intensified under ultraviolet
radiation; when in doubt, consult a
physician;
o
wait at least 48h between the first two
treatments;
o
never sunbath and use the appliance on
the same day;
o
comply
with
the
recommendations
regarding exposure time, breaks, and
distance to the lamp;
o
consult a physician if persistent swellings or
sores build up, or in case of a change of
pigmented moles;
o
sensitive skin areas, such as scares, tattoos,
and genitals, should be protected from
exposure.
The UVA lamp will not illuminate when it is hot.
Let the lamp cool down 4 to 5 minutes before
using it again.
