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.
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).
Touch-up phase
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.
English
13
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.
14
English
-
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.
During touch-up phase
-
Keep on treating with frequent touch-ups (every 4 weeks) to maintain the
result.
How to use your Lumea Series 9000
