Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips!
To benet fully from the support that Philips offers,
register your product at www.philips.com/lumea.

Intended use

This appliance is intended for the removal of unwanted
hair. It is able to deliver long-term reduction in the number
of hairs that regrow after treatment. You can use Philips
Lumea Comfort to remove unwanted body hair on all
areas below the cheekbones, including the face (upper
lip, chin and cheeks). This appliance has been specically
designed and optimised for use by women, but can be used
by men as well. It is designed for use by one person only.

Safety features
Integrated safety system

Philips Lumea Comfort has an integrated safety system
that protects the eyes. This system prevents unintentional
ashing without skin contact.

Skin colour sensor

Philips Lumea Comfort has a skin colour sensor that
prevents treatment if your skin colour is too dark.
The light exit window is recessed in the treatment surface.
This prevents direct contact between your skin and the

light exit window.

Benets

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology for home use

Philips Lumea Comfort uses a light-based technology called
‘Intense Pulsed Light’ (IPL). IPL is one of the most effective
methods to remove unwanted body hair. It produces long­lasting results because it reduces hair regrowth signicantly.

ENGLISH 7

No replacement parts needed, no hidden costs

Philips Lumea Comfort is equipped with a high­performance lamp which does not require replacement.
This lamp can generate over 100,000 ashes. This enables
you to continuously maintain results for more than
5 years*, while saving money on expensive replacement

lamps.

*Based on average usage scenario and recommended
treatment regime for one user.

Working principle

- The appliance works by heating up the hair and root
beneath the skin. The melanin in the hair and hair root
absorbs the released light pulses. The darker the colour

of the hair, the more light can be absorbed. This process

stimulates the hair to go into the resting phase.

- In between treatments, hair sheds naturally and regrowth
is inhibited. Hairs can take one or two weeks to shed.

- Optimal hair removal cannot be obtained with a single

session, since only hairs in the growing phase are
susceptible to treatment with light. During a treatment,
hairs on the treated area are usually in different stages
of the hair growth cycle. To effectively treat all hairs you
have to repeat the treatment once every two weeks for
the rst two months.

appliance is suitable for you.

ENGLISH12

Precautions

To avoid adverse effects:

- Do not treat the same area of skin more than once
during a session.

- Always shave the treatment area before treatment and make
sure that the skin in the treatment area is clean and dry.

- Do not clean the skin with ammable liquids, such as

alcohol or acetone, before you use the appliance

Warning about sun exposure and tanning

Sun exposure or articial tanning before

treatment

- Avoid sun exposure or exposure to tanning equipment
for 2 weeks before treatment. Tanned skin contains a lot
of pigment. If you use Philips Lumea Comfort on tanned
skin, this increases the risk of adverse side effects and

skin reactions.

Sun exposure or articial tanning after treatment

- After treatment, wait 48 hours before you expose your
skin to the sun or to articial tanning. Protect the skin
with a sunscreen with SPF30 or higher during the entire
hair-removal period and for at least 2 weeks after the
last treatment. If you used an articial tanning lotion to
get a tan, wait until this articial tan has disappeared
before you start the next treatment.

Possible side effects

If you use Philips Lumea Comfort according to the
instructions, the risk of serious side effects is small. Read the
sections below to learn more about the effects that may occur.

ENGLISH 13

Common side effects

- Your skin may show slight redness and/or may tingle
or feel warm. This reaction is absolutely harmless and
disappears quickly.

- A skin reaction similar to sunburn may occur on the
treated area for a short while. If this does not disappear
within 3 days, we advise you to consult a doctor.

- Dry skin and itching may occur due to shaving or a
combination of shaving and light treatment. This is
harmless and disappears within a few days. You can cool
the area with an ice pack or a wet facecloth. If dryness
persists, you can apply a non-scented moisturiser to the
skin 24 hours after the treatment.

Rare side effects

- Burns, excessive redness and swelling occur rarely and
are usually the result of using an intensity level that is
too high for your skin colour. If these reactions do not
disappear within 3 days, we advise you to consult a

doctor. Postpone the next treatment until the skin has

healed completely and use a lower intensity level.

- Skin discolouration occurs very rarely.
Skin discolouration manifests itself as either a darker or

lighter patch than the surrounding area. This may happen

if you use an intensity level that is too high for your skin
colour. If the discolouration does not disappear within
2 weeks, we advise you to consult a doctor.

Do not treat discoloured areas until the discolouration
has disappeared.

- Skin infection and inammation occur very rarely.
These reactions may occur when you use the appliance

on shaving wounds or cuts, on already existing wounds

or on ingrown hairs.

- Excessive pain may occur during or after treatment

if you use the appliance on unshaved skin, if you use
the appliance at an intensity level that is too high for
your skin colour, if you ash the same area more than
once, and if you use the appliance on open wounds,
inammations, infections, tattoos, burns, etc. See chapter
‘Contraindications, precautions and warnings’ for more
information.

ENGLISH14

Preparing for use

Preparing treatment areas

1 Before each treatment, shave the areas you intend to

treat as long as hairs continue to grow back.

Note: Do not use depilatory creams instead of shaving.
If you remove the hairs by the root with another depilation
method (e.g. waxing or an epilator), you can start treatment
immediately.

2 Make sure that your skin is dry, clean and free from

deodorants, creams, lotions or perfumes.

3 Check the light exit window and the skin colour

sensor for hairs, dust and bres. If necessary,
clean the light exit window and the skin colour
sensor with a dry, soft dry lint-free cloth.

Note: When the hairs no longer grow back, you can stop
shaving.

Skin colour and light intensity

Philips Lumea Comfort has ve different intensity levels.
Check the table below for the intensity level that suits

your skin and hair colour. ‘x’ means that the appliance is

not suitable for you. If your skin is too dark, the skin colour
sensor prevents the emission of ashes.

ENGLISH16

4 Move the appliance to another area and release a

ash at level 2. Continue to increase the intensity by
one level before releasing each next ash. Do not
release more than one ash in the same spot. Do not

increase the intensity beyond the maximum intensity
for your skin colour (see section ‘Skin colour and
light intensity’ in this chapter).

5 As soon as you experience any discomfort, reduce

the intensity level to the highest level at which there
was no discomfort.

6 Stop testing. Wait for 24 hours and then check your

skin for any reactions. If you see no skin reactions,

you can use the intensity level last used at your next
treatment of this body part.

Note: If your skin shows a reaction, wait for the reaction to
disappear. Then treat the body part at the intensity level below
the one that produced a reaction, wait for 24 hours and check
for skin reactions again.

7 Perform steps 1 to 5 for each body part you intend

to treat.

Using the appliance

Always perform a skin test (see chapter ‘Preparing for
use’) before you start using the appliance according to the

instructions below.

1 Insert the small plug into the appliance socket and

insert the adapter into a wall socket.

2 Press the on/off/intensity button. The light of

intensity level 1 goes on and the fan inside the
appliance starts.

ENGLISH 17

3 After about 1 second, the READY/skin colour

warning light comes on. This shows that the appliance

is ready to release a ash.

4 Press the on/off/intensity button one or more

times to choose the intensity level suitable for the
treatment area and your skin colour.

5 Make sure that the treatment area is clean,

dry and properly shaved. Place the skin contact
surface on the skin. When the skin contact surface is
in full contact with the skin, the READY/skin colour
warning light starts blinking slowly.

6 Press the ash button. The skin colour sensor checks

the colour of your skin. If the skin colour allows safe

treatment, the READY/skin colour warning light goes

off. The appliance delivers a ash to the skin and

makes a soft popping sound.

Note: If the appliance releases no ash and the READY/skin

colour warning light blinks rapidly, your skin colour is too dark
for safe treatment. If you have recently tanned skin, wait for
2 weeks (see chapter ‘Contraindications, precautions and
warnings’, section ‘Warning about sun exposure and tanning’).

ENGLISH18

7 The appliance immediately recharges for the next ash.

Depending on the intensity level selected, the READY/
skin colour warning light comes on after a few seconds.
This indicates that the appliance is ready for the next

ash. Choose one of the ash delivery methods and

continue to treat the areas you want to treat.

Note: If the treatment becomes painful at any point in time,
reduce the intensity level until the treatment is comfortable again.
If you notice skin reactions stronger than slight redness, stop the
treatment immediately and read chapter ‘Possible side effects’.

Flash delivery methods

Slide & Flash

- Keep the ash button pressed. The appliance releases
one ash after another as long as the skin contact
surface is in full contact with the skin. After each ash,

slide the appliance to the next area. Continue to press

the skin contact surface onto the skin. This Slide & Flash
mode is especially convenient for treating larger areas

like the legs.

Step & Flash

- Let go of the ash button after each ash. For the next
ash, place the appliance on the area right next to the
area just treated. Make sure that the skin contact surface
is fully pressed onto the skin. This Step & Flash mode
guarantees a precise treatment of e.g. the knees or

ankles .

Note: Do not treat the same area twice during a treatment.
If you treat an area more than once, this increases the risk of
adverse effects.

Note: To avoid untreated areas, always make sure that there
is some overlap with the previously treated area when you
slide the appliance over the skin.The effective light only comes

out of the light exit window. Make sure that the ashes are

emitted close to each other.

ENGLISH 19

How to achieve optimal results

First two months

- It is normal that hairs are still visible after the rst few
treatments (see chapter ‘Introduction’, section ‘Working
principle’ for more information).

- To remove all hairs successfully and prevent the hair
follicle from becoming active again, the treatments have
to be repeated once every two weeks for the rst two
months. Your skin should be smooth by then.
Please read section ‘Maintenance phase’ to nd out how

you can keep these results.

Maintenance phase

- To ensure that your skin stays smooth, we advise you
to repeat the treatment every 4 to 8 weeks. The time
between treatments may vary based on your individual
hair regrowth and also across different body areas.
If too many hairs grow back between treatments,
simply shorten the treatment interval again, but do not
treat any area more often than once every two weeks.
When you use the appliance more frequently than
recommended, you do not increase the effectiveness but
you do increase the risk of skin reactions.

After use

- Press and hold the on/off/intensity button to switch off
the appliance. Pull the adapter out of the wall socket.

- Clean the skin contact surface (see chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’).

- Store the appliance in a safe and dry place in its original box.

- Do not apply any perfumed cosmetics to treated

skin immediately after treatment.

- Do not use deodorant immediately after treatment
of the underarms. Wait until any skin redness has

disappeared.

- See chapter ‘Contraindications, precautions and

warnings’, section ‘Warning about sun exposure and
articial tanning’ for information on sun exposure and
articial tanning.

ENGLISH20

Cleaning and maintenance

To ensure optimal hair removal results, clean the appliance
after each use.

Never clean the appliance or any of its parts under the tap.

Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or
aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to clean the
skin contact surface.

1 Switch off the appliance and unplug it.

2 If necessary, clean the outside of the appliance with a

soft cleaning cloth.

3 Moisten a soft lint-free cloth with a few drops of

water and clean the skin contact surface and the light
exit window.

Einführung

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu Ihrem Kauf und willkommen
bei Philips! Um die Unterstützung von Philips optimal
nutzen zu können, registrieren Sie Ihr Produkt bitte unter

Verwendungszweck

Dieses Gerät ist zum Entfernen von unerwünschtem Haar
vorgesehen. Es kann die Anzahl der nach der Behandlung
nachwachsenden Haare langfristig reduzieren.
Mit Philips Lumea Comfort können Sie unerwünschte

Haare an allen Körperpartien unterhalb der

Wangenknochen entfernen, einschließlich des Gesichts
(Oberlippe, Kinn und Wangen).
Dieses Gerät wurde speziell für Frauen entwickelt und
optimiert, kann jedoch ebenso von Männern verwendet
werden. Es sollte nur von einer Person benutzt werden.

Sicherheitsmerkmale
Integriertes Sicherheitssystem

Philips Lumea Comfort verfügt über ein integrier tes
Sicherheitssystem, das die Augen schützt. Dieses System
verhindert unbeabsichtigte Lichtimpulse, wenn kein

Hautkontakt besteht.

Sensor für Hautfarbe

Philips Lumea Comfort verfügt über einen Sensor für
die Hautfarbe, der keine Behandlung zulässt, wenn Ihr
Hautton zu dunkel ist. Das Lichtaustrittsfenster ist in der
Behandlungsäche versenkt. Dadurch wird der direkte
Kontakt zwischen Ihrer Haut und dem Lichtaustrittsfenster
verhindert.

Vorteile

25

IPL-Technologie (“Intense Pulsed Light”) für die
Verwendung zu Hause

Philips Lumea Comfort arbeitet mit einer lichtbasier ten
Technologie namens “Intense Pulsed Light” (IPL). IPL ist
eine der wirksamsten Methoden zur Entfernung von
unerwünschtem Körperhaar und sorgt für dauerhafte
Ergebnisse, da das Haarwachstum deutlich verringert wird.

DEUTSCH26

Keine Ersatzteile erforderlich, keine versteckten
Kosten

Philips Lumea Comfort ist mit einer Hochleistungslampe
ausgestattet, die nicht ausgetauscht werden muss. Diese
Lampe kann über 100.000 Lichtimpulse erzeugen. Damit

erzielen Sie mehr als 5 Jahre* lang gute Ergebnisse und

sparen gleichzeitig Geld für teure Ersatzlampen.
*Bei normalem Gebrauch und empfohlener Behandlung für

einen Benutzer.

Funktionsprinzip

- Zum Entfernen von Haaren erhitzt das Gerät das
Haar und die Wurzel unter der Haut. Das Melanin im

Haar und in der Haarwurzel absorbiert die vom Gerät
produzierten Lichtimpulse. Je dunkler das Haar, desto
mehr Licht kann aufgenommen werden. Dieser Vorgang
regt das Haar an, in die Ruhephase überzugehen.

- Zwischen den Behandlungen fallen die Haare aus, und
das Nachwachsen neuer Haare wird verhindert. Es kann
bis zu zwei Wochen dauern, bis die Haare ausfallen.

- Eine optimale Haarentfernung kann nicht durch eine
einzige Behandlung erzielt werden, da nur Haare in der
Wachstumsphase auf die Lichtbehandlung reagieren

und sich die Haare im behandelten Körperbereich

normalerweise in verschiedenen Wachstumsphasen
benden. Zur effektiven Behandlung aller Haare sollten

Sie die Behandlung in den ersten zwei Monaten alle zwei
Wochen wiederholen.
