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

- 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 Precision Plus.

- 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 Precision Plus 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.

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 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 can increase the risk of adverse side effects and skin 

reactions. See chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘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 an ar tificial tanning lotion, wait until the ar tificial tan 

has fully disappeared before you use Philips Lumea Precision Plus.

Note: For more details on unwanted skin reactions, see chapter ‘Using the 

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

Using the appliance

Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for 

use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to determine which light intensities 

are most suitable for your skin and body hair colour. Use the appliance in 

a 

well-lit

 room; this reduces the perceived brightness of the flash. Shave 

the area you intend to treat before you use the appliance (see chapter 

‘Preparing for use’, section ‘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.
