experience any discomfort anywhere.
The light intensity you use can feel warm or hot on the skin, but should
never feel uncomfortable. To prevent skin reactions, see chapter 'Using
the appliance', section 'Possible side effects and skin reactions'.

important:
- To check whether Philips Lumea is suitable for you, see section 'For
whom is Philips Lumea not suitable?'.
- At higher light intensities:
- the method is more effective.
- you have a higher risk of skin reactions. See chapter 'Using the
appliance', section 'Side effects and skin reactions'.
- the pain sensation can be stronger.
- If your skin has been exposed to natural sunlight or an artificial tanning
method, your skin may be darker than during the previous treatment.
Perform a skin test (see chapter 'Using the appliance', section 'First use')
on the area to be treated to determine if you have to use a lower light
intensity than usual. For more information, see section 'Tanning advice'
below.

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 as long as sunburn persists.
- When the sunburn has disappeared, perform a skin test (see chapter
'Using the appliance', section 'First use') on the area to be treated to
determine the appropriate light intensity.
- If your skin is tanned, you run a very high risk of developing skin
reactions after treatment with Philips Lumea. Perform a skin test (see
chapter 'Using the appliance', section 'First use') on the area to be
treated to determine the appropriate light intensity.
