English 15

How IPL works

With Intense Pulsed Light technology, gentle pulses of light are applied to the skin and absorbed by the hair root. The lighter the skin and 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.

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 you to follow the initial treatment phase (4-5 treatments, every treatment 2 weeks apart) and then the follow-up treatment phase (touch-ups every 4-8 weeks) to make sure all hairs are effectively treated in the growing phase.

Tip: To assure long lasting hair removal, touch-ups every 4 weeks are recommended.

Note: Treatment with Lumea is not effective if you have light blond, grey, red or white hairs as light hairs do not absorb enough light. Below you can see the hair colors for which Lumea is suitable and effective.

Suitable body hair colors

Note: To check if your body hair color allows usage of the device, consult the hair color table with number 3 on the foldout page.

16 English

Recommended treatment schedule

Initial phase

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

For the first 4 to 5 treatments, we advise you to use Lumea for men once every two weeks to ensure that all hairs are treated.

Note: Replacing one of the IPL treatments with another hair removal method (waxing, epilating, etc.) will not help to reach the desired hair reduction.

Note: If you want to remove hairs in between the Lumea treatments, you can use your normal hair removal method.

Touch-up phase

After the initial treatment phase (4-5 treatments), we recommend touch-ups every 4-8 weeks, when you see hairs growing back. This 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.

12 20 Tip: You can write the treatment schedule in your agenda to remind yourself of the treatments so you will not forget.

Note: Using the device more often does not enhance the effectiveness.

What to expect

After initial treatment phase

-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, 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.

18 English

-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.

During touch-up treatment phase

-Keep on treating with frequent touch-ups (every 4-8 weeks) to maintain the result.

Using your Lumea for men before and after tanning

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.

-After recent tanning, perform a skin test to determine the appropriate light intensity setting. For instructions see chapter 'Skin test'.

-Do not use Lumea on sunburned body areas.

-The back and chest are often tanned. Take special care to select the appropriate intensity for treating the tanned skin to prevent skin reactions

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 for men

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, epilate or wax. Do not use depilatory creams, as chemicals may cause skin reactions.

English 19

If you choose 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: if shaving causes skin irritation, we advise you not to use the device until skin irritation is resolved.

Skin test

When you use Lumea for the first time or after 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.

Note: do not try the device on difficult or sensitive areas (ankle and bony area).

1Turn on the device. Make sure you select setting 1.

2Place 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.

3Press the flash button to release a flash.

4Slide the device over the skin to the next area to be treated.

5Increase the setting by one level, apply a flash and slide the device to the next area. Repeat this for all levels, as long as each level still feels comfortable. See the table in: 'Selecting the right light intensity'.

6After 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 Lumea for men

Smartskin sensor

Each attachment of the Lumea for men has integrated skin tone sensor which 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 and the device automatically disables to prevent you from developing skin reactions. This means that it does not flash when you press the flash button.

Body Attachment

The body attachment has a curved-in design to cover effectively and treat areas below the neckline. Especially large areas such as chest, back, legs, arms and stomach.

20 English

Selecting the right light intensity

Lumea provides 5 different light intensities. You will always be able to change to a light intensity setting you find comfortable.

1 Press the on/off button to turn on the device. The device starts to operate at light intensity setting 1.

Note: To adjust the light intensity setting manually without using the setting indication feature, use the toggle buttons until you have reached the required setting. The corresponding intensity light level lights up white.

2 Press the setting indication button () and put the device to your skin. 3 After the device scanned your skin, the light intensity indicators blink

white. This shows which intensities are most comfortable based on your skin tone.

4Press the confirmation button () to confirm that you want to use the indicated setting to start using the device.

Philips Lumea will automatically use the highest suggested intensity, indicated by a continuous lighting led indicator.

Lumea gives you the freedom to select the light intensity that you find most comfortable. If you want to set the light intensity setting manually, please consult the table below. This table shows settings that for the majority of users provides a comfortable, but still effective setting.

5Using Lumea should never be painful. If you experience discomfort, reduce the light intensity setting. You can do this by using the toggle buttons.

Note: The device automatically disables when your skin tone is too dark. The ‘ready to flash’ light will blink orange to indicate if the skin tone is too dark for IPL treatment with Lumea.

6After moving to another body area or after recent tanning, perform a skin test to determine the right light intensity setting. To re-activate the setting indication feature, press the setting indication button.

Note: Since body areas might differ in skin color, you need to select the right setting for each body area separately.

Skin tone	Light intensity setting
White: you always sunburn, never tan.	4/5
Beige: you easily sunburn, tan minimally.	4/5
Light brown: you sunburn easily, tan slowly to light brown.	4/5
Mid brown: you rarely sunburn, tan easily.	3/4
Dark brown: you rarely sunburn, tan very easily.	1/2/3

Brownish black or darker: you rarely or never sunburn, very dark	You cannot use the device
tanning.

English 21

Note: To check if your skin type allows usage of the device, consult the skin tone table with number 2 on the foldout page.

Note: Your skin may react differently on different days/occasions for a number of reasons.

Handling the device

1Before use, clean the attachment and the light exit window.

2Put the small plug in the device and put the adapter in the wall socket.

Note: If the device is not fully charged when you start a treatment, the battery will run out during a full body treatment. We advise you to always fully charge the device before you start a treatment or to use it corded.

If you use the device to treat your shoulders, chest, back and legs you may have to recharge the device during the treatment. This is normal.

Tip: If you want to treat your back and your shoulders, you require the help of your partner or a friend to guarantee complete coverage and best results.

3Switch on the device and select the right light intensity for your skin tone. For selecting the right skin tone, you can make use of the setting indication feature (see 'Selecting the right light intensity').

4Place 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 ‘ready to flash light’ on the back of the device lights up white to indicate that you can proceed with the treatment.

Note: When the ‘ready to flash’ light starts blinking 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.

Note: If the 'ready to flash' light does not light up white, the device is not completely in contact with your skin.

22 English

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 scattered light produced by the device is harmless to your eyes. Do not look at the flash while using the device. 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.

7Place 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 white.

8To 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. Part of the device that is in contact with your skin is slightly larger therefore there should be some overlap. However, make sure you flash the same area only once.

Note: Flashing the same area twice does not improve the effectiveness of the treatment, but increases the risk of skin reactions.

Note: Do not use any pencil or pen to mark the areas to be treated, as this may cause side effects to your skin.

9When you have finished the treatment, press and hold the on/off button to switch off the device. Remove the adapter from the wall socket if you used the device corded.

Note: If you did not use the device for a long period of time, it is important to perform a skin test again.

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 chest and back. Keep the flash button pressed while you slide the device over your skin to release several flashes in a row.

Note: The device needs up to 2 seconds (when used with cord, or up to 3.5 seconds when used without cord) in between two flashes, so make sure you flash on every area you wish to treat. Sliding too fast over the skin will cause missed spots.

English 23

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.

Rare side effects

-Burns, excessive redness (e.g. around hair follicles) and swelling: these reactions occur 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 is very rare but is a possible risk following a (micro)wound, a skin burn, skin irritation etc.

-Epidermal heating (a sharply defined brownish area which often occurs with darker skin tones and is not accompanied with skin dryness): This reaction occurs very rarely. In case this reaction does not disappear within 1 week, 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.

24English

-Blistering (looks like small bubbles on the surface of the skin): this occurs very rarely. In case this reaction does not disappear within 1 month or when the skin gets infected, 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.

-Scarring: often the secondary effect of a burn, which can take longer than a month to heal.

-Folliculitis (swelling around hair follicles combined with pustule formation): this reaction occurs very rarely and is the result of bacteria penetrating the damaged skin. In case this reaction occurs, we advise you to consult a doctor as folliculitis may need antibiotic ointment.

-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 you apply any product to your skin. If you experience skin irritation after you apply a product to your skin, wash it off with water.

Note: When following all instructions you may still get skin reactions. In this case stop using the device and contact the consumer care center in your country.

Charging

Fully charge the batteries before you use the device for the first time and when the batteries are empty. Fully charging the batteries takes up to 1 hour and 40 minutes. Charge the device when the charging light lights up orange during use to indicate that the battery is low and will run out soon. Fully charged batteries provide at least 130 flashes at light intensity 5.

No, Philips Lumea does not hurt your eyes.

The scattered light produced by the device is harmless to your eyes. Do not look at the flash while using the device. 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. Be sure to make good skin contact to avoid scattered light.
