Never use the appliance if you take any of the medications
listed below, i.e.:
- If your skin is currently being treated with or has recently been treated
with Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta- Hydroxy Acids (BHAs),
topical isotretinoin and azelaic acid.
- If you have taken any form of isotretinoin such as Accutane
®
or
Roaccutane
®
in the last six months.This treatment can make skin more
susceptible to tears, wounds and irritations.
- If you are on painkillers, which reduce the skin’s sensitivity to heat.
- If you are taking photosensitising agents or medications, check the
package insert of your medicine. Never use the appliance if the
medication instructions include cautions regarding photo-allergic
reactions, photo-toxic reactions or if you must avoid sun when taking
this medicine.
- If you take anticoagulation medications, including heavy use of aspirin,
in a manner that does not allow you to stop using them at least one
week prior to each treatment with Philips Lumea Essential.
- If you take immunosuppressive medications.
Never use the appliance on the following areas:
- Around the eyes and near the eyebrows.
- On nipples, areolas, labia minora, vagina, anus and the inside of the
nostrils and ears. See chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘Using the
appliance in the bikini area’.
- Men must not use it on the face or on the scrotum. Men’s facial hair
differs from women’s facial hair and the precision attachment is only
designed for treatment on women’s facial hair.
- Over or near anything artificial like silicone implants, pacemakers,
subcutaneous injection ports (insulin dispenser) or piercings.
- On moles, freckles, large veins, darker pigmented areas, scars or other
skin anomalies without consulting your doctor. This can result in a burn
and a change in skin tone, which makes it potentially harder to identify
skin-related diseases (e.g. skin cancer).
- On warts, tattoos or permanent make-up. This can result in a burn and
a change in skin tone (hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation). Usage
on warts may even spread the warts, as warts are viral infections.
- On areas, where you use long-lasting deodorants. This can result in skin
reactions. See chapter ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.
Never use the appliance on sunburnt, recently tanned
(last 2 weeks) or fake-tanned skin.
- All types of tanning can influence the safety of the treatment. This
applies to exposure to natural sunlight as well as artificial tanning
methods, such as tanning lotions, tanning appliances etc. If you are
tanned or are planning to tan, see chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section
‘Tanning advice’.
Note: This list is not exhaustive. If you are not sure whether you can use the
appliance we advise you to consult a doctor.
