Benets

This appliance provides the following benets:

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology for

home use

Philips Lumea Plus for men uses a light-based

technology called ‘Intense Pulsed Light’ (IPL).

IPL is also used in the professional beauty market for

hair removal and has been in use for the last fteen

years. Philips Lumea Plus for men now brings this

innovative technology to the comfort of your home.

Effective hair re-growth prevention for

everyday smoothness

This method provides you with long-lasting

hair regrowth prevention and silky-smooth skin.

Our studies have shown a signicant hair reduction

already after two treatments. Optimal results were

generally achieved after six to seven treatments.

A reduction in hair density is visible from treatment

to treatment. How fast the effect becomes visible

and how long the results last varies from person to

person. For more information, see chapter ‘Using the

appliance’, section ‘How to achieve optimal results’.

Gentle treatment

Philips Lumea Plus for men has been developed in

close cooperation with leading dermatologists for an

effective and gentle treatment.

Cordless operation for maximum freedom

and exibility

Because the appliance runs on rechargeable

batteries, it is portable and can be used anywhere.

No replacement parts needed, no hidden costs

Philips Lumea Plus for men is equipped with a

high-performance lamp which does not require

replacement.This lamp can generate over

100,000 ashes and should enable you to

continuously maintain results for more than 5 years*

while saving money on expensive replacement lamps.

*Based on the average treatment times for each

area and the recommended intensities for one user.

How Philips’ Intense Pulsed Light

technology works

Hair growth

Hair growth rates differ from person to person,

depending on age, metabolism and other factors.

However, everyone’s hair normally grows in 3 phases.

1 Growing phase (anagen phase)

The hair grows actively from the root. In this phase

the concentration of melanin is highest. Melanin is

responsible for the pigmentation of the hair.

Melanin concentration is also the determining factor for

the efcacy of this method. Only hairs in the growing

phase are susceptible to treatment with light.

2 Degradation phase (catagen phase)

Hair growth stops and the root shrinks before the

hair sheds.

3 Resting phase (telogen phase)

The old hair separates from its hair follicle and sheds.

The follicle remains at rest until the biological clock

tells it to become active again and grow a new hair.

Working principle

The appliance works by heating up the hair and root

beneath the skin.The melanin in the hair and hair

root absorbs the released light pulses.

The darker the colour of the hair, the more light can

be absorbed.This process stimulates the hair to go

into the resting phase. The hair now sheds naturally

and the hair growth is inhibited. Hairs can take one

or two weeks to shed. Optimal hair removal cannot

be obtained with a single session, since only hairs

in the growing phase are susceptible to treatment

with light. During a treatment, hairs on the treated

area are usually in different stages of the hair growth

cycle.To effectively treat all hairs you have to repeat

the treatment every two weeks for a few times.

An integrated optical lter ensures that no UV light

reaches the skin and guarantees that the appliance is

safe for the skin.

What effect can you expect after treatment?

- After you have treated the hairs every two weeks

two to four times (depending on your skin/hair

type and the intensity setting), you notice that hair

growth decreases and that the hairs that grow

back are softer.

- After you have treated the hairs six to eight

times (depending on your skin/hair type and the

intensity setting), you notice that most of the hairs

do not return.

- After you have treated the hairs eight times,

continue to use the Lumea Plus for men to

maintain a smooth skin. For more information,

see section ‘Maintenance phase’ in chapter ‘Using

the appliance’.

- If you stop using the Lumea Plus for men, the hairs

start to regrow after some time.
