Using the appliance
-
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 '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 Plus for men.
Check the recommended light intensities table (see
'Setting the light intensity') to determine which light
intensities are most suitable for your skin and body
hair colour. Use the appliance in a welllit room;
this reduces the perceived brightness of the flash.
Shave the area you intend to treat before you use
the appliance (see 'Preparing treatment areas').
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.
