Possible side effects
If you use Philips Lumea Comfort according to the
instructions, the risk of serious side effects is small. Read the
sections below to learn more about the effects that may occur.
Common side effects
- Your skin may show slight redness and/or may tingle
or feel warm. This reaction is absolutely harmless and
disappears quickly.
- A skin reaction similar to sunburn may occur on the
treated area for a short while. If this does not disappear
within 3 days, we advise you to consult a doctor.
- Dry skin and itching may occur due to shaving or a
combination of shaving and light treatment. This is
harmless and disappears within a few days. You can cool
the area with an ice pack or a wet facecloth. If dryness
persists, you can apply a non-scented moisturiser to the
skin 24 hours after the treatment.
Rare side effects
- Burns, excessive redness and swelling occur rarely and
are usually the result of using an intensity level that is
too high for your skin colour. If these reactions do not
disappear within 3 days, we advise you to consult a
doctor. Postpone the next treatment until the skin has
healed completely and use a lower intensity level.
- Skin discolouration occurs very rarely. Skin
discolouration manifests itself as either a darker or
lighter patch than the surrounding area. This may happen
if you use an intensity level 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.
- Skin infection and inammation occur very rarely. These
reactions may occur when you use the appliance on
shaving wounds or cuts, on already existing wounds or
on ingrown hairs.
