Philips Lumea Prestige BRI959 - What to Expect and Post-Treatment Care

- The Slide & Flash mode oers convenient use on larger areas like legs.
Keep the ash button pressed while you slide the device over your
skin to release several ashes in a row.
Note: The device needs up to 2 seconds (when used with cord, or up to
3.5 seconds when used without cord) in between two ashes, so make
sure you ash on every area you wish to treat. Sliding too fast over the
skin will cause missed spots.
After use
Common skin reactions
Your skin may show slight redness and/or may prickle, tingle or feel warm.
This reaction is absolutely harmless and disappears quickly.
Dry skin and itching may occur due to shaving or a combination of shaving
and light treatment. You can cool the area with an ice pack or a wet face
cloth. If dryness persists, you can apply a non-scented moisturizer on the
treated area.
Rare side eects
- Burns, excessive redness (e.g. around hair follicles) and swelling:
these reactions occur rarely. They are the result of using a light
intensity that is too high for your skin tone. 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 discoloration: this occurs very rarely. Skin discoloration
manifests itself as either a darker patch (hyperpigmentation) or a
lighter patch (hypopigmentation) than the surrounding area. This
is the result of using a light intensity that is too high for your skin
tone. If the discoloration does not disappear within 2 weeks, we
advise you to consult a doctor. Do not treat discolored areas until
the discoloration has disappeared and your skin has regained its
normal skin tone.
- Skin infection is very rare but is a possible risk following a (micro)
wound, a skin burn, skin irritation etc.
