Persons with darker skin run a higher risk of skin irritation because their 

skin absorbs more light. Therefore lower intensities are recommended 

for persons with darker skin.
The light pulse can feel warm or hot on the skin but should never be 

painful. To prevent skin reactions, see chapter ‘Using the appliance’, 

section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.

To check whether Philips Lumea is suitable for you, see section ‘For whom 

is Philips Lumea not suitable?’. 

If your skin has been exposed to natural sunlight or an ar tificial 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 as long as sunburn persists.

 - When the sunburn has disappeared, perform a skin test (see chapter 

‘Using the appliance’, section ‘First use’) on the area to be treated to 

determine the appropriate light intensity.

 - If your skin is tanned, perform a skin test (see chapter ‘Using the 

appliance’, section ‘First use’) on the area to be treated to determine 

the appropriate light intensity. A failure to do so causes a risk of 

developing skin reactions after treatment with Philips Lumea.

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.
