Philips Lumea Comfort Sistema de eliminación de vello IPL - Manual (Page 15)

- Dry skin and itching may occur due to shaving or a
combination of shaving and light treatment. This is
harmless and disappears within a few days. You can cool
the area with an ice pack or a wet facecloth. If dryness
persists, you can apply a non-scented moisturiser to the
skin 24 hours after the treatment.
Rare side effects
- Burns, excessive redness and swelling occur rarely and
are usually the result of using an intensity level that is
too high for your skin colour. If these reactions do not
disappear within 3 days, we advise you to consult a
doctor. Postpone the next treatment until the skin has
healed completely and use a lower intensity level.
- Skin discolouration occurs very rarely. Skin discolouration
manifests itself as either a darker or lighter patch than
the surrounding area. This may happen if you use an
intensity level that is too high for your skin colour. If the
discolouration does not disappear within 2 weeks, we
advise you to consult a doctor. Do not treat discoloured
areas until the discolouration has disappeared.
- Skin infection and inflammation occur very rarely. These
reactions may occur when you use the appliance on
shaving wounds or cuts, on already existing wounds or
on ingrown hairs.
- Excessive pain may occur during or after treatment
if you use the appliance on unshaved skin, if you use
the appliance at an intensity level that is too high for
your skin colour, if you flash the same area more than
once, and if you use the appliance on open wounds,
inflammations, infections, tattoos, burns, etc. See chapter
‘Contraindications, precautions and warnings’ for more
information.
