How IPL works

With IPL technology, gentle pulses of light are applied to the skin and absorbed by the hairroot. 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, leaving your skin continuously silky-smooth.

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 an 8-week treatment schedule followed by touch-ups to make sure all hairs are effectively treated in the growing phase.

Note: Treatment with Lumea is not effective if you have light blond, blond as light hairs do not absorb enough light. Below you can see the hair colors for which Lumea is suitable and effective.

Suitable body hair colors

What to expect

Immediately after the 1st treatment

Afterthe 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

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

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. Keep on treating with frequent touch-ups (every 4-8 weeks)to maintain the result.

English

Tanning advice

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:

English

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. Perform a skin test to determine the appropriate light intensity setting.

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.

Before you use your Lumea

Pretreating your skin

Before you use Lumea, you should pretreat your skinby removing hairs on the surface of your skin. This allows the light to beabsorbed by the hair parts below the skin surface to ensure effective treatment. You can either shave, short-trim, epilate or wax. Do not use depilatory creams, as chemicals may cause skin reactions.

Skin test

English

If you chose to wax, please wait 24 hours before using Lumea to let your skin rest.We recommend that you take a shower before the treatment to ensure that all possible residue of wax has been removed from your skin.

1 Pretreat the areas you intend to treat with

Lumea.

2 Clean your skin and make sure it is hair-free,

entirely dry and free from oily substances.

Note: Once the hairs stop growing back, which usually happens after 4-5 treatments, you no longer have to pretreat your skin before you use the device.

When you use Lumea for the first time or after recent tanning, perform a skin test on each area to be treated. The skin test is necessary to check your skin's reaction to the treatment and to determine the correct light intensity setting for each bodyarea.

1 Choose an area close to the area you intend to

treat.

2 Turn on the device. Make sure you select

setting 1.

3 Put the device against your skin and press the

flash button to release a flash.

4 Slide the device over the skin to the next area

to be treated.

5 Increase the setting by one level, apply a flash

and slide the device to the next area. Repeat this for all levels within the recommended range for your skin type.

English

6 After the skin test, wait 24 hours and check your

skin for any reaction. If your skin shows reactions, choose the highest setting that did not result in any skin reaction for subsequent use.

Using your Philips Lumea

Skin tone sensor

For extra safety, the integrated skin tone sensor measures the skin tone at the beginning of each session and occasionally during the session. If it detects a skin tone that is too dark for treatment with Lumea,the 'ready to flash' light starts blinking orange rapidly and the device automatically disables to prevent you from developing skin reactions. This means that it does not emit pulses when you press the flash button.

Selecting the right light intensity

Lumea provides 5 different light intensities. Depending on your skin type and light intensity level you find comfortable, you can select the right light intensity setting.

1 Consult the table below to select the right

setting.

2 To adjust the light intensity setting, press the

on/off button one or more times until you have reached the required setting. The corresponding intensity light lights up green.

English

Note: Thedevice automatically disables when your skin tone is too dark, to prevent you from developing skin reactions. The integrated skin tone sensor does not tell you which light intensity setting to use, as Philips Lumea gives you the freedom to select the light intensity that you find most convenient.

3 Lumea should never be painful. If you

experience discomfort, reduce the light intensity setting.

4 After recent tanning, perform a skin test to

determine the right light intensity setting.

Skin type Skin tone Light intensity setting

I White: you always

sunburn, never tan.

II Beige: you easily

sunburn, tan minimally.

III Light brown: you

sunburn easily, tan slowlyto light brown.

IV Mid brown: youou

rarely sunburn, tan easily.

V Dark brown: you

rarely sunburn, tan very easily.

VI Brownish black or

darker: you rarelyornever sunburn, very dark tanning.

Note:Your skin may react differently on different days/occasions for a number of reasons.

Handling the device

1 Before use, clean the light exit window. 2 Put the small plug in the device and put the

adapter in the wall socket.

3 Switch on the device and select the right light

intensity for your skin tone.

4 Place the device at a 90° angle on the skin so

that the integrated safety system is in contact with your skin.

The integrated safety system prevents unintentional flashingwithout skin contact.

5 Press the devicefirmly onto your skin to

ensureproper skin contact. The device then automatically performs a skin tone analysis and the'ready to flash' light blinks orange slowlyto indicate that you can proceed with the treatment.

Note: When the ‘ready to flash’ light starts blinking suitable for treatment. In this case, the device automatically disables. You can try to use the device on other areas with a lighter skin tone.

orange rapidly, your skin is not

English

Note: If the 'ready to flash' light lights up orange continuously the device is not completely in contact with your skin.

TIP: If you use Lumea on your bikini area and want to leave some hair in place, make sure that the skin tone sensor is not placed on the remaining hair during the treatment, as this can cause the device to block

6 Press the flash button to release a flash.The

devices makes a soft popping sound. You should feel a warm sensation because of the flash.

Note: The light produced by the device is harmless to your eyes. It is not necessary to wear goggles during use. Use the device in a well-lit roomso that the light is less glaring to your eyes.

7 Place the device on the next area to be treated.

After each flash, it takes up to 3.5 seconds until the device is ready to flash again. You can release a flash when the 'ready to flash' light lights up again.

8 To make sure that you have treated all areas,

release the flashes close to each other. Effective light only comes out of the light exit window, therefore there should be some overlap.However, make sure you flash the same area only once. Flashing the same area twice doesn't improve the effectiveness of the treatment, but increases the risk of skin reactions.

9 When you have finished the treatment, press

and hold the on/off button for 2 seconds to switch off the device.

English

Two treatment modes: Stamp & Flash and Slide & Flash

YourPhilips Lumea has two treatment modes for more convenient use on different body areas:

The Stamp & Flash mode is ideal to treat small orcurvy areas like knees and underarms. Simply press and releasethe flash button to release a single flash.

The Slide & Flash mode offers convenient use on larger areas like legs. Keep the flash button pressed while you slide the device over your skinto release several flashes in a row.

Recommended treatment schedule

For the first 4 to 5 treatments, we advise you to use Philips Lumea once every two weeks to ensure that all hairs are treated.

Touch-up phase

After the initial treatment phase (4-5 treatments), we recommend touch-ups every 4 to 8 weeks,when you see hairs growing back. This is 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.

Treatment time per area

11 min.

1,5 min.

SC1985 is 40% faster than SC1984, SC1983 and offers you shorter treatment times.

English

After use

Common skin reactions

Your skin may show slight redness and/or may prickle, tingle or feel warm. This reaction is absolutely harmless and 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 nonscented moisturizer on the treated area 24 hours after the treatment.

Aftercare

After use, you can safely apply lotions, creams, deodorant, moisturizer or cosmetics to the treated areas. If you experience skin irritation or skin redness after treatment, wait until it disappears before applying any product to your skin. If you experience skin irritation after applying a product to your skin, wash it off with water.
