-
No modification of this equipment is allowed. Do not modify, override or cut
off any part of the device (e.g. adapter or the cord), as this causes a hazardous
situation.
-
Do not look at the flash while using the device. Use the device in a well-lit
room so that the light is less glaring to your eyes. While not necessary for
safety, you may wear sunglasses or goggles for your convenience if you find
the light uncomfortable or too bright.
-
Do not flash the same spot multiple times during a treatment. The surface of
the attachment should overlap the previous spot to make sure you flash the
complete skin area, but treating the same area multiple times does not
increase efficacy.
-
For hygienic reasons, the device should only be used by one person.
-
Do not use hair removal creams in the area (to be) treated with the device, as
chemicals may cause skin reactions.
-
Do not use any pencil or pen to mark the areas to be treated. This may cause
burns on your skin.
-
Hair removal by intense pulsed light sources can cause increased hair growth
in some individuals. Based upon currently available data, the highest risk
groups for this response are females of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and
South Asian heritage treated on the face and neck.
-
If you experience skin irritation or skin redness after treatment, wait until it
disappears before applying any product to your skin. If you experience skin
irritation after applying a product to your skin, wash it off with water. If you
still get skin reactions, stop using the device and consult your doctor.
-
If shaving, epilating or waxing causes skin irritation, we advise you not to use
the device until the skin irritation has disappeared.
-
This device is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the device by a
person responsible for their safety.
-
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
device. Supervision is required to avoid potential risks such as exposure to the
light output, electrocution, strangulation from the cables or choking on the
attachments.
-
Do not use your Lumea within 2 weeks after using artificial tanning products
(such as creams, sprays or pills). Artificially tanned skin is more likely to result
in burns or pigmentation changes. Read the instructions in chapter 'Using
your Lumea before and after sun exposure or tanning' to learn how to use
your Lumea safely.
-
Always avoid exposure to natural sunlight and artificial sunlight up to
4 weeks before your Lumea treatment and 48 hours afterward. Sensitive or
tanned skin is more likely to result in burns or pigmentation changes. Read
the instructions in chapter 'Using your Lumea before and after sun exposure
or tanning' to learn how to use your Lumea safely.
-
If you notice a skin tone change since the last treatment, we advise you to
perform a skin test and to wait 24 hours before your next treatment.
-
Always check the device before you use it. Make sure that the skin tone
sensor window is clean when using the device, to avoid improper operation
(see 'D Clean & store after treatment').
