- 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.
- Cover treated areas when you go out in the sun or use a non-
perfumed sun block in the two weeks after the treatment.
- Exposing treated areas to the sun immediately after treatment without
protection can increase the risk of adverse side effects and skin
reactions. See chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘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 artificial tanning lotion, wait until the artificial tan has
fully disappeared before you use Philips Lumea.
Note: For more details on unwanted skin reactions, see chapter ‘Using the
appliance’, section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.
using the appliance
Shave the area you intend to treat before you use the appliance (see
chapter ‘Preparing for use’).
If the treatment becomes intolerably 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.
First use
When you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to perform
a skin test on the area to be treated to check your skin’s reaction to the
treatment and to get accustomed to light-based treatment.
1 Choose an area close to the intended treatment area.
2 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
, Intensity light 1 goes on automatically to indicate that the appliance
is switched on at default intensity 1.
3 Apply one flash at the lowest recommended intensity for your skin
type.
4 As long as it feels comfortable (not painful), increase the setting by
one level within the recommended range for your skin type and
apply one flash for each setting. Do not apply more than one flash on
the same spot.
