Electromagnetic fields (EMF)

This Philips device complies with all applicable standards and regulations

regarding exposure to electromagnetic fields.

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

Suitable body hair colors

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:

-

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.

10

English

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.

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.

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.

11

English

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 device

automatically disables to prevent you from developing skin reactions. This

means that it does not emit pulses when you press the flash button.

Attachments

Placing and removing

To place the attachment, simply snap it onto the light exit window.

To remove the attachment, pull it off the light exit window.

Body attachment

You can use the body attachment to treat unwanted hair on several body

areas below the neckline. You can use it for example for fast treatment of

larger areas like legs.

Precision attachment

The precision attachment includes an additional integrated light filter for

extra safety and you can therefore use it to treat unwanted facial hair on the

upper lip, chin and sideburns. You can also use the precision attachment to

easily treat hard to reach areas such as toes, bikini area or armpits.However,

do not treat your eyebrows with Lumea.

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.

12

English

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 white.

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.

4/5

IV Mid brown; You rarely sunburn,

tan easily.

3/4

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

Note: Your skin may react differently on different days/occasions for a

number of reasons.

Handling the device

1 Before use, clean the attachments and 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.

13

English

90º

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

the integrated safety system are 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’ lights up white to indicate that you can proceed with the

treatment.

Note: When the ‘ready to flash’ light lights up orange, 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.

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. 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.

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.

English

Recommended treatment schedule

Initial phase

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.

After use

Common skin reactions

Your skin may show slight redness and/or may prickle, tingle or feel warm.

This reaction is absolutely harmless and disappears quickly.

Dry skin and itching may occur due to shaving or a combination of shaving

and light treatment. You can cool the area with an ice pack or a wet face

cloth. If dryness persists, you can apply a non-scented moisturizer on the

treated area 24 hours after the treatment.

16

English

Rare side effects

-

Burns, excessive redness and swelling: these reactions occur very 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 and inflammation: This occurs very rarely and may be

caused by using the device on wounds or cuts that resulted from shaving,

on already existing wounds or on ingrown hairs.

-

Excessive pain: this can occur during or after treatment if you have used

the device on skin that is not hair-free, if you use the device at a light

intensity that is too high for your skin tone, if you flash the same area

more than once and if you use the device on open wounds,

inflammations, infections, tattoos, burns, etc.

Aftercare

After use, you can safely apply lotions, creams, deodorant, moisturizer or

cosmetics to the treated areas. 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.
