Always return the device to a service centre authorised by Philips for examination or repair. Repair by unqualified people could cause an extremely hazardous situation for the user.

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

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

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

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.

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 and automatically advices you on the right setting you should use based on your skin tone. You will always be able to select the light intensity setting as you find comfortable.

1 Press the on/off button to turn on the device.

The setting advice starts automatically, indicated by the setting lights moving from left to right.

Note: To adjust the light intensity setting manually without using the skin advice, press the on/off button again until you have reached the required setting. The corresponding intensity light level lights up green.

2 To get the advice on the light intensity, press

the device to your skin.

3 After the device scanned your skin, the

suggested intensity lights will blink green to indicate which intensities you can use based on your skin tone.

4 Press the on/off button again to confirm that

you want to use the suggested setting advice to start using the device.

English

Philips Lumea will automatically use the highest suggested intensity, indicated by a continuous green light.

Lumea gives you the freedom to select the light intensity that you find most convenient. If you want to set the light intensity setting manually, please consult the table below.

Note: The device automatically disables when your skin tone is too dark, to prevent you from developing skin reactions. The ‘ready to flash’ light will blink orange to indicate if the skin tone is too dark.

5 Lumea should never be painful. If you

experience discomfort, reduce the light intensity setting. You can do this by using the on/off button.

6 After moving to another body area or recent

tanning, perform a skin test to determine the right light intensity setting. To re-activate the setting advice feature, turn off the device off by pressing the on/off button for 2 seconds, and turn the device back on by pressing the on/off button shortly.

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.

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 lights up green 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 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.

English

7 Place the device on the next area to be treated.

After each flash, it takes up to 2 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.

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.

English

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 seconds in between two flashes.

Recommended treatment schedule

Initial phase

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.

Treatment time per area

English

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

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.

English

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.

Cleaning & storage
