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 treatments, every treatment 2 weeks apart)
and then the follow‑up treatment phase (touch‑ups every 4 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.
Suitable body hair colors
Treatment with Lumea Series 9000 is not effective if you have light blond,
grey, red or white hairs as hairs with these colors do not absorb enough
light.
Note: To check if your body hair color allows usage of the device, consult the
hair color table on the foldout page.
Recommended treatment schedule
Initial phase
To achieve effective hair reduction, follow the initial treatment schedule.
Touch-up phase
English
13
Initial treatment schedule
For the first 4 treatments, use Lumea Series 9000 once every two weeks to
ensure that all hairs are treated.
-
Treat yourself within 3 days before or after the planned treatment date.
-
If you have not treated yourself within 3 days before or after the planned
treatment date, restart the initial phase. Plan in 4 treatments, one
treatment every two weeks.
Note: If you do not restart the initial phase, you may not see effective hair
reduction.
Note: Replacing one of the IPL treatments with another hair removal
method (waxing, epilating, etc.) will not help to reach the desired hair
reduction.
If you want to remove hairs in between the Lumea Series 9000 treatments,
you can use your normal hair removal method (excluding hair removal
creams).
After the initial phase (4 treatments), we recommend touch-ups every 4
weeks.
Touch-up treatment schedule
Treat yourself every 4 weeks. Repeat this 8 times to achieve effective hair
reduction. This is to maintain results and enjoy smooth skin for months.
-
We advise you to treat yourself within 4 days before or after the planned
treatment date.
-
The results may vary based on your individual hair regrowth and also
across different body areas.
-
If you have completed the touch-up phase and you see the need to
continue treatment (hair starts coming back), we advise you to restart the
initial phase.
Tip: Mark the treatment schedule on your calendar to remind yourself of the
planned treatments.
Note: Using the device more often does not enhance the effectiveness.
What to expect
After initial phase
-
-
-
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, 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 treatments, you should see a significant reduction of hair growth
in the areas that you treated with Lumea Series 9000. A reduction of hair
density should be visible as well.

English
During touch-up phase
-
Keep on treating with frequent touch-ups (every 4 weeks) to maintain the
result.

Attachments
For optimal results, it is important to use the correct attachment intended
for the specific body area you want to treat. Lumea Series 9000 offers
full‑body treatment with several attachments designed for use on specific
body areas. SenseIQ technology adapts the treatment program when a
different attachment is connected.
Note: The device may not work anymore and show an error when there is
dirt on the attachment connector. Clean the contact leads when this occurs.
20
English
Body attachment
To place the attachment, simply snap it onto the light exit window.
To remove the attachment, pull it off the light exit window.
The body attachment has the largest treatment window and a curved-in
design to effectively cover and treat areas below the neckline, especially
large areas such as legs, arms and stomach.
Facial attachment
The facial attachment has a precise flat design with extra integrated filter for
safe and precise treatment on the sensitive skin above the upper lip, chin
and sideburns. The device is only intended for removing unwanted body
hair from areas below the cheekbones. When you use the device on areas
with sharp contours like the jawline and chin, it may be difficult to establish
full skin contact and release a flash.
Tip: Place your tongue between your upper lip and your teeth or puff out
your cheeks to make the treatment easier.
Underarm attachment (BRI957, BRI958)
The underarm attachment has a specifically curved-out design to treat
underarm hairs that might be hard to reach.
Bikini attachment (BRI957, BRI958)
The bikini attachment has a specialized design for effective treatment of the
bikini area. It has a curved-out design and has a higher light intensity
compared to body attachment. Hair in this area tends to be thicker and
stronger than leg hair.
Precision attachment (BRI955)
The precision attachment has a curved-out design for use on bikini and
underarm areas. It has a medium sized window with a transparent filter. It is
designed for precise and effective coverage of bikini and underarm areas.
SmartSkin sensor
Lumea Series 9000 offers SenseIQ technology for a personalized hair
removal treatment. The integrated SmartSkin sensor measures the skin tone
at the start of each session and during the session. This provides two
features:
1 The SmartSkin sensor prevents you to treat areas of your skin that are
too dark: if it detects a skin tone that is too dark for treatment with
Lumea Series 9000, the 'READY to flash' light starts blinking orange. It
does not flash when you press the flash button. The device automatically
disables. This prevents you from developing skin reactions.
2 The SmartSkin sensor will help you to select the light intensity setting
that is comfortable for your skin. For this you can use the SmartSkin
button.
English
21
22
English
Selecting the light intensity
Lumea Series 9000 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
SmartSkin button, use the toggle button until you have reached the
required setting. The corresponding intensity light level lights up white.
2 Press the SmartSkin button
3 After the device has scanned your skin, the light intensity indicators will
blink white to indicate which intensities are most comfortable based on
your skin tone.
4 Press the confirmation button
indicated setting.
Lumea Series 9000 automatically uses the highest indicated intensity,
which is shown by a blinking intensity indicator. Lumea Series 9000 gives
you the freedom to select the light intensity that you find most
comfortable. Skin sensitivity can differ per person. Therefore, the skin test
is the most important guide for selecting your light intensity setting (see
'B Test skin 24 hrs before treatment').
5 Using Lumea Series 9000 should never be uncomfortably painful. If you
experience discomfort, reduce the light intensity setting. You can do this
by using the toggle buttons.
Note: The device is automatically disabled when your skin tone is too
dark (brownish black or darker), to prevent you from developing skin
reactions. The ‘READY to flash’ light will blink orange to indicate if the skin
tone is too dark.
6 After moving to another body area or after recent tanning (see 'Using
your Lumea Series 9000 before and after tanning'), perform a skin test to
determine a comfortable light intensity setting. To re-activate the setting
indication feature, press the SmartSkin button
Note: Perform a skin test before you start to treat another body area or
after a skin tone change. Determine the light intensity setting for each
body area separately.

Using your Lumea Series 9000 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.
-
If you expose 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 Series 9000
and perform a skin test. This is to determine the appropriate light
intensity setting (see 'B Test skin 24 hrs before treatment').
-
Do not use Lumea Series 9000 on sunburned body areas.
Note: Occasional and indirect sun exposure does not qualify as tanning.
25
Tanning with creams
If you have used an artificial tanning lotion, wait until the artificial tan is
completely gone before you use the device.

Common skin reactions
Your skin may show slight redness and/or may prickle, tingle or feel warm.
This reaction 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.
-
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 use 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.
