Tanning With Creams; Using The Appliance; First Use And Skin Test - Philips TT3003 Mode D'emploi

16 English

Using the appliance

First use and skin test

-
Exposing treated areas to the sun immediately after treatment without
protection can increase the risk of adverse side effects and skin reactions
(see '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 Plus for men.
Check the recommended light intensities table (see 'Setting the light
intensity') to determine which light intensities are most suitable for your skin
and body hair colour. Use the appliance in a well­lit room; this reduces the
perceived brightness of the flash. Shave the area you intend to treat before
you use the appliance (see 'Preparing treatment areas').
If the treatment becomes intolerably painful at any point in time,
reduce the light intensity setting until the treatment is comfortable
again. If you notice skin reactions stronger than slight redness, stop
the treatment immediately and read section 'Possible side effects
and skin reactions' in this chapter. HYPERLINK
When you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to perform
a skin test on the area to be treated to check your skin's reaction to the
treatment and to get accustomed to light-based treatment.
1 Choose an area close to the intended treatment area.
2 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
-
Intensity light 1 goes on automatically to indicate that the appliance is
switched on at default intensity 1.
3 Apply one flash at the lowest recommended intensity for your skin type.
4 As long as it feels comfortable (not painful), increase the setting by one
level within the recommended range for your skin type and apply one
flash for each setting. Do not apply more than one flash on the same spot.
5 After the skin test, wait for 24 hours and check your skin for any reaction.
If the skin shows reactions, choose the highest setting that did not result
in any skin reaction for subsequent use.
