Philips Lumea BRI944 Manuel page 25

Problem
The skin feels more
sensitive than usual
during treatment. I
experience discomfort
when I use the device.
There is no glass filter in
my attachment.
The skin reaction after
treatment lasts longer
than usual.
The flash is very bright to
my eyes. Do I need to
wear goggles?
Possible cause
The light intensity setting
you use is too high.
You did not remove the
hairs on the areas to be
treated.
The UV filter of the light exit
window is broken.
You treated an area for
which the device is not
intended.
This is normal.
You have used a light
intensity setting which is
too high for you.
No, Philips Lumea does not
hurt your eyes.
Solution
Check if you have selected a comfortable light
intensity setting. If necessary, select a lower
setting.
Pretreat your skin before you use Lumea.
If the UV filter is broken, do not use the device
anymore. Contact the Consumer Care Center in
your country, your Philips dealer or a Philips
service center.
Never use the device on irritated (red or cut),
sunburned, recently tanned or fake-tanned skin.
Never use the device if you have infections,
eczema, burns, inflammation of hair follicles,
open lacerations, abrasions, herpes simplex (cold
sores), wounds or lesions and haematomas
(bruises) in the areas to be treated.
Never use the device on the following areas: on
moles, freckles, large veins, darker pigmented
areas, scars, skin anomalies without consulting
your doctor. Never use the device on warts,
tattoos or permanent make-up, around the eyes
and on or near the eyebrows, on the lips, nipples,
areolas, labia minora, vagina, anus and the inside
of the nostrils and ears. Men must not use it on
the face and neck including all beard growing
areas and whole genital area. This can result in a
burn and a change in skin color, which makes it
potentially harder to identify skin-related
diseases.
No action required: there is no filter in the body
and underarm attachment. Only the facial and
bikini attachment have a specialized filter.
Select a lower intensity next time (see 'Selecting
the light intensity').
The scattered light produced by the device is
harmless to your eyes. Do not look at the flash
while using the device. It is not necessary to wear
goggles during use. Use the device in a well-lit
room so that the light is less glaring to your eyes.
Be sure to make good skin contact to avoid
scattered light.
