Electromagnetic fields (EMF)
This Philips device complies with all applicable standards and regulations
regarding exposure to electromagnetic fields.
How IPL works
With Intense Pulsed Light technology, gentle pulses of light are applied to
the skin and absorbed by the hairroot. 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.

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.
Recommended treatment schedule
Initial phase
For the first 4 to 5 treatments, we advise you to use Lumea Prestige 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.
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
-
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 4-5 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 Prestige before and after tanning
English
17
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.
