Caution! Exposing the skin to the artificial radiation of a UV light-
■
emitting device can cause skin cancer or eye cancer.

■
sure to artificial UV light.
Due to the UV radiation, there is a risk of cancer from the very
■
first use of a UV device.
Therefore, the use of a UV device is not recommended. There is
■
a negative correlation between use of such devices and health
risks and therefore risk assessments come out to the detriment of
the UV device.
Attention! Do not use cosmetics before using a UV device, be-
■
cause of the risk of allergies or skin irritation. Use sunscreen or
cosmetics that accelerate the tanning.
Do not use the UV device if you are taking medicines (including
■
antibiotics, sedatives, antidepressants or antiseptics), which in-
crease the responsivity against UV radiation. If in doubt, consult
a doctor or pharmacist before using the UV device.
