Philips BRI950/00 Lumea Prestige [17/86] Using your lumea prestige before and after tanning

What to expect

After initial treatment phase

- After the rst treatment, it can take 1 to 2 weeks for the hairs to fall out.

In the rst weeks following the initial treatments, you still see some hairs

growing. These are likely to be hairs that were not in their growing phase

during the rst treatments.

- After 2-3 treatments, you should see a noticeable reduction in hair

growth. However, to eectively treat all hairs, it is important to keep on

treating according to the recommended treatment schedule.

- After 4-5 treatments, you should see a signicant reduction of hair

growth in the areas that you treated with Lumea. A reduction of hair

density should be visible as well.

During touch-up treatment phase

- Keep on treating with frequent touch-ups (every 4-8 weeks) to maintain

the result.

Using your Lumea Prestige before and after

tanning

Tanning with natural or articial sunlight

Intentionally exposing your skin to natural or articial sunlight with the

aim of developing a tan inuences 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.

- In case of exposing 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.

- After recent tanning, perform a skin test to determine the appropriate

light intensity setting. For instructions see chapter 'Skin test'.

- Do not use Lumea on sunburned body areas.

Note: Occasional and indirect sun exposure does not qualify as tanning.

Tanning with creams

If you have used an articial tanning lotion, wait until the articial tan has

disappeared completely before you use the device.
