Problem
Solution
I do not know if the
appliance is suitable for
use on my skin.
Please check if the appliance is suitable for your skin.
The appliance does not
charge.
Make sure the socket to which you connect the appliance is live. Check if
the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains
voltage. Check if you have placed the appliance in the stand properly. If
you use a socket in a bathroom cabinet, you may need to switch on the
light to activate the socket. If the light on the appliance still does not light
up or if the appliance still does not charge, contact the Philips Consumer
Care Center in your country.
The appliance does not
work when it is charging.
This is a safety measure. The appliance is not intended to work when it is
charging. Let the appliance charge approximately 1 hour for a 5-minute
session.
I don’t get optimal results
when I use the appliance
on wet skin.
Only use the appliance on dry skin. The appliance only works optimally
on dry skin.
My skin is reacting to
usage of the appliance.
Using this appliance may lead to mild redness directly after use. You may
experience a warm, tingling sensation during use. These effects usually
disappear within several minutes and are generally experienced as
pleasant. It is possible that you experience dry or flaky skin, prolonged
redness or swelling. In that case you may have pressed the appliance too
hard on your face or have passed it over the same area too many times.
Try to exert less pressure onto the appliance during the next session or
pass the appliance over the area fewer times. In rare cases the appliance
may cause a bruise or blister, scratch or pigmentation change. Almost all
skin reactions will disappear within a week, pigmentation change will
decrease within several weeks or a few months. To avoid possible side
effects, use a day cream with sun protection factor or a sun protection
cream after the session. This helps to avoid sunburn. The appliance has
been tested and confirmed safe for use when used as described in the
user manual. Medicines or products and their possible side effects can
affect individual people in different ways. Since there is always the
possibility that a rare or previously unknown side effect may occur with
the use of this appliance or any other product, please contact the Philips
Consumer Care Center in case you experience a side effect which is not
mentioned above.
