Tanning advice
-
Avoid sunbathing when you use Philips Lumea Essential
regularly (every two weeks).
Sunbathing can cause skin to darken (tan) or can cause sunburn (reddening
of the skin). Using Philips Lumea Essential on darkened (tanned) and/or
sunburned skin increases the risk of adverse side effects and skin reactions.
See chapter ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.
-
Sunbathing before treatment: Wait 2 weeks and perform a
skin test.
Wait at least 2 weeks after sunbathing before you use the appliance.
Perform a skin test (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘First use and
skin test’) on the area to be treated to determine the appropriate light
intensity. Failure to do so increases the risk of developing skin reactions
after treatment with Philips Lumea Essential.
-
Sunbathing after treatment: Wait 48 hours before
sunbathing after treatment with Philips Lumea Essential.
Wait at least 48 hours after treatment before you expose treated areas
to the sun. Even after 48 hours, make sure that the treated skin shows no
adverse reaction to the treatment before you expose it to the sun. Cover
treated areas when you go out into the sun or use a sunblock (SPF 30+) in
the two weeks after treatment. Exposing treated areas to sunlight without
protection immediately after treatment increases the risk of adverse
side effects and skin reactions. See chapter ‘Possible side effects and skin
reactions’.
-
Tanning with artificial light
Follow the instructions in ‘Sun exposure before treatment’ and ‘Sun
exposure after treatment’ above.
-
Tanning with creams
If you have used an artificial tanning lotion, wait until the artificial tan has
fully disappeared before you use Philips Lumea Essential.
Note: For more details on unwanted skin reactions, see chapter ‘Possible side
effects and skin reactions’.
Using the appliance
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Light intensity’ to determine which light intensities are most
suitable for your skin tone and body hair colour. Use the appliance in a
well-lit room; this reduces the perceived brightness of the flash.
Shave the area you intend to treat before you use the appliance
(see chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Preparing treatment areas’).
If the treatment becomes painful at any point in time, reduce the
light intensity setting until the treatment is comfortable again. If you
notice skin reactions stronger than slight redness, stop the treatment
immediately and read section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’
in this chapter.
