Precautions
To avoid adverse effects:

- Do not treat the same area of skin more than once

during a session.

- Always shave the treatment area before treatment and

make sure that the skin in the treatment area is clean

and dry.

- Do not clean the skin with flammable liquids, such as

alcohol or acetone, before you use the appliance

Warning about sun exposure and tanning
Sun exposure or artificial tanning before

treatment

- Avoid sun exposure or exposure to tanning equipment

for 2 weeks before treatment. Tanned skin contains a lot

of pigment. If you use Philips Lumea Comfort on tanned

skin, this increases the risk of adverse side effects and

skin reactions.

Sun exposure or artificial tanning after treatment

- After treatment, wait 48 hours before you expose your

skin to the sun or to artificial tanning. Protect the skin

with a sunscreen with SPF30 or higher during the entire

hair-removal period and for at least 2 weeks after the

last treatment. If you used an artificial tanning lotion to

get a tan, wait until this artificial tan has disappeared

before you start the next treatment.

Possible side effects

If you use Philips Lumea Comfort according to the

instructions, the risk of serious side effects is small. Read the

sections below to learn more about the effects that may occur.
Common side effects

- Your skin may show slight redness and/or may tingle

or feel warm. This reaction is absolutely harmless and

disappears quickly.

- A skin reaction similar to sunburn may occur on the

treated area for a short while. If this does not disappear

within 3 days, we advise you to consult a doctor.
