Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips!

Light-based hair removal is one of the most effective methods

to treat unwanted body hair with longer-lasting results.You can

now use this innovative light-based hair regrowth prevention

technology comfortably in the privacy of your own home,

whenever and wherever you want.

Philips Lumea enables treatment of unwanted hair on the whole

body below the neck using the tailored attachment.

Philips Lumea hair removal system applies gentle pulses of light

to the hair and hair root beneath the skin. As a consequence,

the hair sheds naturally and hair regrowth is inhibited.

For more information about Philips Lumea IPL hair removal

system and movies how to use Lumea, see www.philips.com/

Recommended light intensity table

(1-5)

2Recommended light intensities table

Consult the table on the following page to determine which

light intensities are most suitable for your skin and body hair

colour and check if this method is suitable for you.

The method is more effective at higher intensities; however,

you should reduce the light intensity if you experience any

pain or discomfort.The light pulse can feel warm or hot on

the skin but should never be painful.

3Check “contraindications” in the user manual; some

medications and health conditions might cause adverse

reactions when you use the appliance.

Inthetableabove,‘x’meansthattheapplianceisnotsuitableforyou.

Preparing for use

1Charge the appliance.

2Shave the areas you intend to treat.

Using

1Check the attachment and light exit window for any dirt,

hairorbres.Ifthereisanycontamination,cleanitwith

the cloth supplied.

2Put on the attachment.

3 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.

4 Press the intensity increase/decrease button up or down

to change the intensity (from 1 to 5).

5 Place the appliance at a 90° angle on the skin so that

the attachment and the safety ring are in contact with

the skin.

6Press the safety ring fully onto the skin with slight

pressure.When all contact switches of the appliance

areincontactwiththeskin,the“readytoash”light

on the back of the appliance lights up green.

2optionstoreleasethenextash:

A Keeptheashbuttonpressed.Theappliancereleases

oneashafteranotheraslongasthesafetyringisinfull

contact with the skin. Immediately after the appliance has

ashed,slidetheappliancetothenextarea.Makesurethe

safety ring is fully pressed onto the skin.

This‘Slide&Flashmode’isespeciallyconvenientfortreatment

of larger areas like the legs.

B Letgooftheashbuttonaftereachash.Forthenext

ash,placetheapplianceonthearearightnexttothe

previouslyashedarea.Makesurethesafetyringisfully

pressed onto the skin.

This‘Step&Flashmode’guaranteesaprecisetreatmentof

e.g. the upper lip, knees or ankles.

Note: After a few seconds, the appliance is ready to ash again,

so make sure that you move it to the next area

immediately after it has ashed.

Do not treat exactly the same area multiple times during

one session.This does not improve the effectiveness of the

treatment, but increases the risk of skin reactions.

8To avoid untreated areas, always make sure there is

some overlap with the previously treated area when you

place the appliance on the skin.

9Switchofftheapplianceafteryouhavenishedthe

treatment.

10 If there is any dirt on the attachment and/or the light

exit window, clean it before you store the appliance

in the case. If necessary, moisten the supplied cloth

with water or high percentage alcohol for cleaning. See

chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’ in the user manual

for more information.

After treatment

Wait at least 24 hours or until all redness has disappeared

before you expose treated areas to the sun. Cover treated

areas when you go out into the sun or use a sunblock

(SPF30+)inthetwoweeksaftertreatment.

How to achieve optimal results

- To remove all hairs successfully and prevent the hair follicle

from becoming active again, use Philips Lumea every

twoweeksfortherst4to5treatments(morefrequent

treatments do not lead to faster or better results).

- In between treatments, the hair sheds naturally and hair

regrowth is inhibited.Your skin should be smooth by then.

To ensure that your skin stays smooth, simply repeat

treatment when needed.The time between treatments

may vary based on your individual hair regrowth and also

may vary from body area to body area.To maintain the

best results, we recommend repeating the treatment

every 4 to 8 weeks.

- For an effective treatment, shave the area to be treated

before you use the appliance as long as you still

experience regrowth, which is usually the case for

therstfewtreatments.

Tip:White eye pencil

To help you remember what part of your skin you have already

treated, you can mark sections on your leg with a white eye pencil.

1 Take a white eye pencil and draw a line on your leg.

Start at any point of your leg and draw a straight line.

2 Draw additional lines at a distance of 3cm from the

rstlineifyouusetheappliancehorizontallyorata

distance of 1cm if you use the appliance vertically.

Perform the treatment section by section. If you need to take a

break during a session, just mark the last treated area with the

same eye pencil and resume the treatment later.

Note: Only use a white eye pencil. Any other colour absorbs the

light and may cause skin irritation.

Average treatment time:

Area Approx. treatment time

Underarms 1 minute per underarm

Bikini line 1 minute per side

Entire bikini area 4 minutes

One lower leg 8 minutes

One full leg 14 minutes
