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

Important
Danger
13
- Keep the device and the adapter dry.
- If the device is broken, do not touch any
inner part to avoid electric shock.
English
14
- Water and electricity are a dangerous
combination. Do not use this appliance in
wet surroundings (e.g. near a filled bath, a
running shower or a filled swimming pool).
Warning
- This device is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the device by
a person responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the device.
- The device is not intended for children
under the age of 15 years. Teenagers aged
between 15 and 18 years can use the device
with the consent and/or assistance of their
parents or the persons who have parental
authority over them.Adults of 18 years and
older can use the device freely.
- Always check the device before you use it.
Do not use the device or adapter if it is
damaged.
- Do not use the device if the UV filter of the
light exit window is broken.
English
- Do not modify or cut off any part of the
adapter or the cord, as this causes a
hazardous situation.
- Do not use any pencil or pen to mark the
areas to be treated. This may cause burns
on your skin.
- If you have a dark-colored skin, be careful
with treating a darker area immediately after
a lighter area. The skin tone sensor may not
immediately block the treatment on the
darker body area.
- Hair removal by intense pulsed light sources
can cause increased hair growth in some
individuals. Based upon currently available
data, the highest risk groups for this
response are females of Mediterranean,
Middle Eastern and South Asian heritage
treated on the face and neck.
- The light exit window can become very hot
after use. Do not touch the inner part of the
light exit window before it has cooled down.

intensity setting.
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 hairroot.
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.
19
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.
English
20
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.
What to expect
Immediately after the 1st treatment
Afterthe 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 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.
