Philips Lumea SC2009 - Rare Side Effects; Skin Reactions: Burns, Discoloration, Infection; Skin Reactions: Epidermal Heating, Blistering, Scarring

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.
- Epidermal heating (a sharply dened brownish area which often
occurs with darker skin tones and is not accompanied with skin
dryness): This reaction occurs very rarely. In case this reaction does
not disappear within 1 week, 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.
- Blistering (looks like small bubbles on the surface of the skin):
this occurs very rarely. In case this reaction does not disappear
within 1 month or when the skin gets infected, 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.
- Scarring: often the secondary eect of a burn, which can take
longer than a month to heal.
