Common skin reactions
Intentionally exposing your skin to natural or artificial sunlight with the aim
of developing a tan influences the sensitivity and color of your skin.
Therefore the following is important:
- After each treatment, wait at least 48 hours before tanning. Even after 48
hours, make sure that the treated skin does not show any redness from
the treatment anymore.
- If you expose your skin to the sun (without tanning intentionally) in the 48
hours after treatment, use a sunblock SPF 50+ on the treated areas. After
this period, you can use a sunblock SPF 30+ for two weeks.
- After tanning, wait at least 2 weeks before you use Lumea and perform a
skin test. This is to determine the appropriate light intensity setting (see
'Step B: Test skin 24 hrs before treatment').
- Do not use Lumea on sunburned body areas.
Note: Occasional and indirect sun exposure does not qualify as tanning.
If you have used an artificial tanning lotion, wait until the artificial tan is
completely gone before you use the device.
When you travel with the device, check with the airplane carrier to confirm
that the device can be carried and/or used on the airplane.
After use, you can safely apply lotions, creams, deodorant, moisturizer or
cosmetics to the treated areas.
Warning: If you experience skin irritation or skin redness after
treatment, wait until it disappears before you apply any product
to your skin. If you experience skin irritation after applying a
product to your skin, wash it off with water. If you still get skin
reactions, stop using the device and consult your doctor.
Your skin may show slight redness and/or may prickle, tingle or feel warm.
This reaction disappears quickly.
