Contraindications

Never use this device over any suspicious or cancerous lesion. Using the device over cancerous

or other type of lesion can result in delaying the best medical treatment. Typical characteristics
of potentially cancerous lesions include:

• Asymmetry: one half of the abnormal skin area is different than the other half

• Borders: irregular borders

• Colour: varies from one area to another with shades of tan, brown, or black (sometimes white,

red, blue)

• Diameter: usually (but not always) larger than 6 mm in size (diameter of a pencil eraser)

• Bleeding: any skin growth that bleeds or will not heal

Do not use if you have a history of light triggered seizures.

It is recommended that you test a small less sensitive patch of skin (i.e., like your forearm).

Light sensitivity test

Follow these instructions to see if you are sensitive to light:

1. Press the orange power button.

2. Place the device on an area of the forearm (as in the

diagram to the right). Leave in contact for the full 3 minute treatment
cycle.

3. Press the orange power button again to do another 3 minute

treatment on the same area of your inner arm.

4. Wait 24 hours. You should NOT experience any adverse

reaction during the next 24 hours.

An adverse reaction is pain or discomfort in the treatment areas or any
prolonged skin redness.

as described in this manual.

Use with the protective goggles provided
with Luxe.

Do not look directly at the light source of the
treatment head of this device while it is in
operation.

to light. If you are unsure whether you have
increased sensitivity to light, we recommend
you perform the Light Sensitivity Test described

control pain and inammation in arthritis; and
antibiotics, including the tetracyclines and
the sulfonamides, or “sulfa” drugs. Common
examples of non-drugs that may have
made you sensitive to light are: deodorants,
antibacterial soaps, articial sweeteners,
uorescent brightening agents for cellulose,
nylon and wool bers such as in laundry
detergent, naphthalene (mothballs), petroleum
products, and in cadmium sulde, a chemical
injected into the skin during tattooing.

Do not use the device if you are using topical
or systemic steroids or NSAIDs for pain or skin
conditions. May result in photosensitive reaction.

Do not use over or near a steroid injection
received within the last six months. Doing
so may result in photosensitive reaction.

where other devices, which intentionally radiate
electromagnetic energy in an unshielded
manner, are being used. Portable or mobile
Radio Frequency communication equipment
can affect medical electrical equipment
