Important:
Check whether Philips Lumea Plus for men is suitable for you. (see

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 on the area to
be treated to determine the appropriate light intensity (see 'First use and
skin test').
-
If your skin is tanned, perform a skin tes (see 'First use and skin test')t 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.
