of hairs that regrow after treatment. You can use Philips

designed and optimised for use by women, but can be used
by men as well. It is designed for use by one person only.

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.

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.

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.
