Rare Side Effects; After Use; Cleaning And Maintenance - Philips Lumea Plus Tt3003 Bedienungsanleitung

Cleaning and maintenance

Rare side effects:

- Burns, excessive redness and swelling: these reactions occur very
rarely.They are the result of using a light intensity that is too high for your
skin colour. If these reactions do not disappear within 3 days, we advise
you to consult a doctor. Wait with the next treatment until the skin has
healed completely and make sure you use a lower light intensity.
- Skin discolouration: this occurs very rarely. Skin discolouration manifests
itself as either a darker patch (hyperpigmentation) or lighter patch
(hypopigmentation) than the surrounding area. This is the result of using
a light intensity that is too high for your skin colour. If the discolouration
does not disappear within 2 weeks, we advise you to consult a doctor. Do
not treat discoloured areas until the discolouration has disappeared and
your skin has regained its normal skin colour.
- Skin infection and inflammation: This occurs very rarely and may be
caused by using the appliance on wounds or cuts that resulted from
shaving, on already existing wounds or on ingrown hairs.
- Excessive pain: this can occur during or after treatment if you have used
the appliance on unshaved skin, if you use the appliance at a light
intensity that is too high for your skin colour, if you flash the same area
more than once and if you use the appliance on open wounds,
inflammations, infections, tattoos, burns, etc. See chapter 'Important',
section 'Contraindications' for more information.
