Important:
To check whether Philips Lumea for men is suitable for you, see section 'For
whom is Philips Lumea 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 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'.
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 for men.
