In the table below, ‘x’ means that the appliance is not suitable for you. 

Note: The colour of your skin may change, for example because your skin 

has been exposed to tanning. It may then be darker than during the previous 

treatment. Therefore it is important that you check the setting to be used 

before every treatment and per area. Some areas may be darker than others.

Tanning advice

 -

Avoid sunbathing when you use Philips Lumea Essential 

regularly (every two weeks).

Sunbathing can cause skin to darken (tan) or can cause sunburn (reddening 

of the skin). Using Philips Lumea Essential on darkened (tanned) and/or 

sunburned skin increases the risk of adverse side effects and skin reactions. See 

chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.

 -

Sun exposure before treatment: Wait 2 weeks and perform 

a skin test.

Wait at least 2 weeks after sunbathing before you use the appliance. 

Perform a skin test (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘First use and 

skin test’) on the area to be treated to determine the appropriate light 

intensity. Failure to do so increases the risk of developing skin reactions 

after treatment with Philips Lumea Essential. 

 -

Sun exposure after treatment: Wait 48 hours before 

sunbathing after treatment with Philips Lumea Essential.

Wait at least 48 hours after treatment before you expose treated areas 

to the sun. Even after 48 hours, make sure that the treated skin shows no 

adverse reaction to the treatment before you expose it to the sun. Cover 

treated areas when you go out into the sun or use a sunblock (SPF 30+) in 

the two weeks after treatment. Exposing treated areas to sunlight without 

protection immediately after treatment increases the risk of adverse side 

effects and skin reactions. See chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘Possible 

side effects and skin reactions’.
