How IPL works

With IPL technology, gentle pulses of light are

applied to the skin and absorbed by the hairroot.

The darker the hair, the better the pulses of light

are absorbed.

The pulses of light stimulate the hair follicle to go

into a resting phase. As a consequence, the hair

sheds naturally and hair regrowth is prevented,

leaving your skin continuously silky-smooth.

The cycle of hair growth consists of different

phases. IPL technology is only effective when the

hair is in its growing phase.Not all hairs are in the

growing phase at the same time. This is why we

recommend an 8-week treatment schedule

followed by touch-ups to make sure all hairs are

effectively treated in the growing phase.

Note: Treatment with Lumea is not effective if you

have light blond, blond as light hairs do not

absorb enough light. Below you can see the hair

colors for which Lumea is suitable and effective.

English

What to expect

Immediately after the 1st treatment

Afterthe first treatment, it can take 1 to 2 weeks for

the hairs to fall out. In the first weeks following the

initial treatments, you still see some hairs

growing.These are likely to be hairs that were not

in their growing phase during the first treatments.

After 2-3 treatments

After 2-3 treatments, you should see a noticeable

reduction in hair growth. However, to effectively

treat all hairs, it is important to keep on treating

according to the recommended treatment

schedule.

After 4-5 treatments

After 4-5 treatments, you should see a significant

reduction of hair growth in the areas that you

treated with Lumea. A reduction of hair density

should be visible as well. Keep on treating with

frequent touch-ups (every 4-8 weeks)to maintain

the result.

Tanning advice

Tanning with natural or artificial sunlight

Intentionally exposing your skin to natural or

artificial sunlight with the aim of developing a tan

influences the sensitivity and color of your skin.

Therefore the following is important:

11

English

-

After each treatment, wait at least 48 hours

before tanning. Even after 48 hours, make sure

that the treated skin does not show any redness

from the treatment anymore.

-

In case of exposing your skin to the sun

(without tanning intentionally) in the 48 hours

after treatment, use a sunblock SPF 50+ on the

treated areas. After this period, you can use a

sunblock SPF 30+ for two weeks.

-

After tanning, wait at least 2 weeks before you

use Lumea. Perform a skin test to determine the

appropriate light intensity setting.

-

Do not use Lumea on sunburned body areas.

Note: Occasional and indirect sun exposure

does not qualify as tanning.

Tanning with creams

If you have used an artificial tanning lotion, wait

until the artificial tan has disappeared completely

before you use the device.

Before you use your Lumea

Pretreating your skin

Before you use Lumea, you should pretreat your

skinby removing hairs on the surface of your skin.

This allows the light to beabsorbed by the hair

parts below the skin surface to ensure effective

treatment. You can either shave, short-trim, epilate

or wax. Do not use depilatory creams, as chemicals

may cause skin reactions.

12

English

If you chose to wax, please wait 24 hours before

using Lumea to let your skin rest.We recommend

that you take a shower before the treatment to

ensure that all possible residue of wax has been

removed from your skin.

1 Pretreat the areas you intend to treat with

Lumea.

2 Clean your skin and make sure it is hair-free,

entirely dry and free from oily substances.

Note: Once the hairs stop growing back, which

usually happens after 4-5 treatments, you no

longer have to pretreat your skin before you

use the device.

Skin test

When you use Lumea for the first time or after

recent tanning, perform a skin test on each area to

be treated. The skin test is necessary to check your

skin's reaction to the treatment and to determine

the correct light intensity setting for each

bodyarea.

1 Choose an area close to the area you intend to

treat.

2 Turn on the device. Make sure you select

setting 1.

3 Put the device against your skin and press the

flash button to release a flash.

4 Slide the device over the skin to the next area

to be treated.

5 Increase the setting by one level, apply a flash

and slide the device to the next area. Repeat

this for all levels within the recommended range

for your skin type.

13

English

6 After the skin test, wait 24 hours and check your

skin for any reaction. If your skin shows

reactions, choose the highest setting that did

not result in any skin reaction for subsequent

use.

Using your Philips Lumea

Skin tone sensor

For extra safety, the integrated skin tone sensor

measures the skin tone at the beginning of each

session and occasionally during the session. If it

detects a skin tone that is too dark for treatment

with Lumea,the 'ready to flash' light starts blinking

orange rapidly and the device automatically

disables to prevent you from developing skin

reactions. This means that it does not emit pulses

when you press the flash button.

Selecting the right light intensity

Lumea provides 5 different light intensities.

Depending on your skin type and light intensity

level you find comfortable, you can select the right

light intensity setting.

1 Consult the table below to select the right

setting.

2 To adjust the light intensity setting, press the

on/off button one or more times until you have

reached the required setting. The

corresponding intensity light lights up green.

14

English

Note: Thedevice automatically disables when

your skin tone is too dark, to prevent you from

developing skin reactions. The integrated skin

tone sensor does not tell you which light

intensity setting to use, as Philips Lumea gives

you the freedom to select the light intensity

that you find most convenient.

3 Lumea should never be painful. If you

experience discomfort, reduce the light

intensity setting.

4 After recent tanning, perform a skin test to

determine the right light intensity setting.

Skin type Skin tone Light intensity setting

I White: you always

sunburn, never tan.

4/5

II Beige: you easily

sunburn, tan

minimally.

4/5

III Light brown: you

sunburn easily, tan

slowlyto light brown.

3/4

IV Mid brown: youou

rarely sunburn, tan

easily.

1/2/3

V Dark brown: you

rarely sunburn, tan

very easily.

You cannot use the

device

VI Brownish black or

darker: you

rarelyornever

sunburn, very dark

tanning.

You cannot use the

device

15

English

Note:Your skin may react differently on different

days/occasions for a number of reasons.

Handling the device

1 Before use, clean the light exit window.

2 Put the small plug in the device and put the

adapter in the wall socket.

3 Switch on the device and select the right light

intensity for your skin tone.

90º

4 Place the device at a 90° angle on the skin so

that the integrated safety system is in contact

with your skin.

The integrated safety system prevents

unintentional flashingwithout skin contact.

5 Press the devicefirmly onto your skin to

ensureproper skin contact. The device then

automatically performs a skin tone analysis and

the'ready to flash' light blinks orange slowlyto

indicate that you can proceed with the

treatment.

Note: When the ‘ready to flash’ light starts

blinking

orange rapidly, your skin is not

suitable for treatment. In this case, the device

automatically disables. You can try to use the

device on other areas with a lighter skin tone.

16

English

Note: If the 'ready to flash' light lights up

orange continuously the device is not

completely in contact with your skin.

TIP: If you use Lumea on your bikini area and

want to leave some hair in place, make sure

that the skin tone sensor is not placed on the

remaining hair during the treatment, as this

can cause the device to block

6 Press the flash button to release a flash.The

devices makes a soft popping sound. You

should feel a warm sensation because of the

flash.

Note: The light produced by the device is

harmless to your eyes. It is not necessary to

wear goggles during use. Use the device in a

well-lit roomso that the light is less glaring to

your eyes.

7 Place the device on the next area to be treated.

After each flash, it takes up to 3.5 seconds until

the device is ready to flash again. You can

release a flash when the 'ready to flash' light

lights up again.

8 To make sure that you have treated all areas,

release the flashes close to each other.

Effective light only comes out of the light exit

window, therefore there should be some

overlap.However, make sure you flash the

same area only once. Flashing the same area

twice doesn't improve the effectiveness of the

treatment, but increases the risk of skin

reactions.

9 When you have finished the treatment, press

and hold the on/off button for 2 seconds to

switch off the device.

17

English

Two treatment modes: Stamp & Flash and

Slide & Flash

YourPhilips Lumea has two treatment modes for

more convenient use on different body areas:

-

The Stamp & Flash mode is ideal to treat small

orcurvy areas like knees and underarms.

Simply press and releasethe flash button to

release a single flash.

-

The Slide & Flash mode offers convenient use

on larger areas like legs. Keep the flash button

pressed while you slide the device over your

skinto release several flashes in a row.

Recommended treatment schedule

For the first 4 to 5 treatments, we advise you to

use Philips Lumea once every two weeks to ensure

that all hairs are treated.

Touch-up phase

After the initial treatment phase (4-5 treatments),

we recommend touch-ups every 4 to 8

weeks,when you see hairs growing back. This is to

maintain results and enjoy smooth skin for

months.The time between treatments may vary

based on your individual hair regrowth and also

across different body areas.
