Important:
To check whether Philips Lumea Plus for men is suitable for you, see
section 'For whom is Philips Lumea Plus for men not suitable?'.
If your skin has been exposed to natural sunlight or an artificial tanning
method, it may be darker than during the previous treatment. Check the
table above to determine which settings are suitable for your skin colour.
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 Plus 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 Plus 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'.
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.
