Philips VisaCare SC6240 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 9

- VisaCare enhances the absorption of your creams and facial
masks. Due to this enhanced uptake, a negative skin reaction can
occur. The advice is to not change between creams during the first
2-4 weeks of using VisaCare. When you start to use a new cream
after this period, first test this cream on a small area. Do not
continue to use this cream if there is a negative skin reaction when
you apply it on the skin on which you used VisaCare. When you
start to use the device, or when you restart after discontinuing for
more than 2 weeks, begin again with the sensitive tip. This will
allow your skin to once again become used to the device.
Contraindications and other warnings
This device has been developed to address the first signs of facial ageing. As
the epidermal skin layer becomes thinner over the years due to extrinsic and
intrinsic factors, rough skin and signs of photodamage become more
prominent. The focus of this device is facial skin (excluding the area
underneath and above the eyes).
Do not use this appliance:
- If you have skin infections, open wounds, rashes, burns, sunburn,
inflammation, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, telangiectasia (couperose or
spider veins), sensitive skin, active infections like herpes or active acne
breakouts in the areas to be treated.
- If you have large moles, tattoos, port wine stains, permanent make-up or
any skin irritation in the areas to be treated.
- If your skin is still recovering from a cosmetic procedure, such as a
chemical or mechanical peeling, laser resurfacing, fractional laser
treatment, or mesotherapy treatment or any other treatment with dermal
fillers in the past two weeks.
- If you are taking medication that may affect your skin, such as steroids or
acne medication (Accutane, Isotretinoine or Roaccutane). Consult your
doctor.
- If you have warts, do not try to erase them with this device. It can spread
the warts.
