Skin redness
Your skin may become red right after using Philips
Lumea Comfort or within 24 hours of using Philips
Lumea Comfort. Redness generally clears up within
24 hours. Consult your physician if redness does not
go away within 2 to 3 days.
Increased skin sensitivity
The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you
may encounter dryness or flaking of the skin.
Skin wounds and burns
Very rarely, burns or wounds to the skin can occur
following use of the device. The burn or wound can
require a few weeks to heal and, extremely rarely,
may leave a noticeable scar.
Scarring
Although very rare, scarring may occur. Usually when
scarring occurs, it is in the form of a flat and white
lesion on the skin (hypotrophic). However, it can be
large and red (hypertrophic) or large and extend
beyond the margins of the injury itself (keloid).
Subsequent aesthetic treatments may be required
to improve the appearance of the scar.
Pigment changes
Philips Lumea Comfort targets the hair shaft, in
particular the pigmented cells in the hair follicle and
the hair follicle itself. Nevertheless, there is risk of
temporary hyperpigmentation (increased pigment
or brown discoloration) or hypopigmentation
(whitening) to the surrounding skin. This risk of
changes in skin pigmentation is higher for people
with darker skin tone.
Usually discoloration or changes to skin pigment
are temporary and hyperpigmentation or
hypopigmentation rarely occur.
