Tanning advice
sun exposure before treatment
- Wait at least 48 hours after sunbathing before you
use the appliance. Sunbathing can cause skin to
darken (tan) and/or can cause sunburn (reddening
of the skin).
- After these 48 hours, check the skin for any
remaining sunburn. Do not use Philips Lumea for
men as long as sunburn persists.
- When the sunburn has disappeared, 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.
- If your skin is tanned, perform a skin test (see
chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘First use and
skin test’) on the area to be treated and select
the appropriate light intensity. A failure to do so
causes a risk of developing skin reactions after
treatment with Philips Lumea for men.
sun exposure after treatment
- 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 sun block (SPF 30+) 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’.
