Electromagnetic fields (EMF)
This Philips device complies with all applicable
standards and regulations regarding exposure to
electromagnetic fields.
How Intense Pulsed Light- technology 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, 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
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.
English
15
English
16
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 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.
-
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.
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.
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.
English
17
Skin test
Note: if shaving causes skin irritation, we advise
you not to use the device until skin irritation is
resolved.
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
18
English
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.
Note: do not try the device on difficult or
sensitive areas (ankle and bony area).
2 Turn on the device. Make sure you select
setting 1.
3 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.
4 Press the flash button to release a flash.
5 Slide the device over the skin to the next area
to be treated.
6 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.
7 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.
Note: Perform a skin test if you notice a skin tone
change from last treatment and wait 30 minutes
before treatment.
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 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 on what 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 level lights up
green. You can change the setting at all times.
Note: The integrated skin tone sensor does not
automatically select a light intensity setting for
you, but only warns you when your skin is too
dark for treatment.
English
19
Note: The device automatically disables when
your skin tone is too dark, to prevent you from
developing skin reactions. The ‘ready to flash’
20
English
light will blink orange to indicate if the skin tone
is too dark.
3 Lumea should never be painful. If you
experience discomfort, reduce the light
intensity setting. You can do this by using the
on/off button.
4 After moving to another body area or recent
tanning, perform a skin test to determine the
right light intensity setting.
Note: Since body areas might differ in skin
color, you need to select the right setting for
each body area separately. The Philips Lumea
does not automatically select the correct
setting.

5 Press the device firmly onto your skin to ensure
proper skin contact. The 'ready to flash' light
lights up green to indicate that you can proceed
with the treatment.
22
English
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 lights
up green, 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 scattered 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 2.9 seconds until
the device is ready to flash again. You can
release a flash when the 'ready to flash' light
lights up green.
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. 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.
English
Note: Do not use any pencil or pen to mark the
areas to be treated, as this may cause side
effects to your skin.
Note: Flashing the same area twice does not
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. Remove the adapter from
the wall socket.
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.
Note: The device needs about 2.9 seconds in
between two flashes.
23
Recommended treatment schedule
Initial phase
24
English
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.
Note: Replacing one of the IPL treatments with
another hair removal method (waxing,
epilating,etc) will not help to reach the desired hair
reduction.
Touch-up phase
After the initial treatment phase (4-5 treatments),
we recommend touch-ups every 4 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.
Tip: You can write the treatment schedule in your
agenda to remind yourself to the treatments so
you will not forget.
Note: Using the device more often does not
enhance the effectiveness.

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.
English
26
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 nonscented 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.
English
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
27
English
28
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.
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.
