Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benet

from the support that Philips offers, register your product at
www.philips.com/welcome.
Light-based hair removal is one of the most effective methods to
treat unwanted body hair with longer-lasting results. It is different from

current home hair removal methods because it signicantly reduces hair

regrowth. Philips has been investigating this method together with leading
dermatologists for over 15 years. You can now use this innovative technology
comfortably in the privacy of your own home, whenever you want.

This appliance has been specically designed and optimised for use by

women, but can be used by men as well.
Philips Lumea Essential enables treatment of unwanted hair on body areas
below the neckline.
Philips Lumea Essential is designed for use by one person only.
For more information about Philips Lumea Essential, see www.philips.com/
lumea. Check our homepage regularly for updates.

Benets

This appliance provides the following benets:

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology for home use

Philips Lumea Essential uses a light-based technology called ‘Intense Pulsed
Light’ (IPL). IPL is also used in the professional beauty market for hair removal

and has been in use for the last fteen years. Philips Lumea Essential now

brings this innovative technology to the comfort of your home.

Effective hair regrowth prevention for everyday smoothness

This method provides you with long-lasting hair regrowth prevention and

silky-smooth skin. Our studies have shown a signicant hair reduction after

just two treatments. Optimal results were generally achieved after four

to ve treatments. A reduction in hair density is visible from treatment to

treatment. How fast the effect becomes visible and how long the results
last varies from person to person. For more information, see section ‘How
to achieve optimal results’ in chapter ‘Using the appliance’.

Gentle treatment, even on sensitive body areas

Philips Lumea Essential has been developed in close cooperation with
leading dermatologists for an effective and gentle treatment, even on the
most sensitive body areas.

No replacement parts needed, no hidden costs

Philips Lumea Essential is equipped with a high-performance lamp which

does not require replacement. This lamp can generate over 100,000 ashes

and should enable 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.

How Philips’ Intense Pulsed Light technology works

Hair growth

Hair growth rates differ from person to person, depending on age,
metabolism and other factors. However, everyone’s hair normally grows in
3 phases.
1 Growing phase (anagen phase)
The hair grows actively from the root. In this phase the concentration of
melanin is highest. Melanin is responsible for the pigmentation of the hair.

Melanin concentration is also the determining factor for the efcacy of

the Intense Pulsed Light technology. Only hairs in the growing phase are
susceptible to treatment with light.
2 Degradation phase (catagen phase)
Hair growth stops and the root shrinks before the hair sheds.
3 Resting phase (telogen phase)
The old hair separates from its hair follicle and sheds. The follicle remains
at rest until the biological clock tells it to become active again and grow a
new hair.

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.

An integrated optical lter ensures that no UV light reaches the skin

and ensures that the appliance is safe for the skin.

ENGLISH12

Preparing for use

For optimal results, prepare the areas on which you intend to use the
appliance in the manner described below.

Preparing treatment areas

1 Shave the areas you intend to treat as long as these areas still show

hair regrowth.

Note: Do not use depilatory creams instead of shaving.
Note: If your last depilation method involved removing hairs by the roots (e.g

epilating), you can start the treatment right away. In this case, we advise you to
shave in between treatments for optimal results.

Please note that treatment on unshaved or improperly shaved
areas has a number of undesired effects:

- The light exit window and body attachment may become
contaminated with stray hairs and dirt. A contaminated light exit window

and body attachment can reduce the life and efcacy of the appliance.

Contamination of the light exit window can also cause the treatment to
become painful or cause skin reactions like redness and discolouration.

- Hairs on your skin can burn, which can result in an unpleasant smell.

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

from oily substances (e.g. residues of deodorants, lotions, perfumes,
tanning creams and sunscreens).

3 Check the appliance, especially the light exit window and

body attachment, for trapped hair, dust and bres. If you see any 

contamination, clean the appliance according to the instructions in
chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.

If shaving causes wounds or lesions, your skin may be more sensitive 
to IPL than that of others. This may cause the IPL treatment to feel

uncomfortable or it may lead to other unwanted side effects. We advise
you to wait until the irritation has disappeared.

4 Once the hairs stop growing back, which usually happens after

4-5 treatments, you no longer have to shave before you use the
appliance.

Light intensity

Unlike professional light-based appliances, Philips Lumea Essential has been
developed for consumer use and its light pulses are gentler. Therefore you
can expect a convenient and effective treatment at a light intensity that

you nd comfortable.
Philips Lumea Essential provides ve different light intensities. Adjust the
light intensity to your skin and body hair colour and to a level you nd

comfortable.
The recommended light intensities table below helps you to establish the
right light intensity.

1 Consult the table below to determine which light intensities are

appropriate for your skin and body hair colour.

Tip: You can put the table in the quick start guide on your skin and compare
it with your skin colour.

ENGLISH 13

Tip: We advise you to store the quick start guide in the pouch for future reference.

2 Reduce the light intensity if you experience any pain or discomfort.

Persons with darker skin run a higher risk of skin irritation because their 
skin absorbs more light. Therefore lower intensities are recommended

for persons with darker skin.

The light pulse can feel warm or hot on the skin but should never be 

painful. Different body areas may require different light intensities, see

to the table below. To prevent skin reactions, see chapter ‘Using the 
appliance’, section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.

Recommended light intensities (1-5)

In the table below, ‘x’ means that the appliance is not suitable for you.

Note: The colour of your skin may change, for example because your skin
has been exposed to tanning. It may then be darker than during the previous
treatment. Therefore it is important that you check the setting to be used
before every treatment and per area. Some areas may be darker than others.

Body hair colour: Dark blond/light brown/

Skin colour and characteristics:

White (always sunburn, no tanning) 4/5 x
Beige (easy sunburn, minimal tanning) 4/5 x
Light brown (sometimes sunburn, good tanning) 4/5 x
Mid brown (rarely sunburn, fast and good tanning) 1/2/3 x
Dark brown (rarely sunburn, very good tanning) x x
Brownish black and darker (rarely to never

sunburn, very dark tanning)

Important

To check whether Philips Lumea Essential is suitable for you, see section
‘For whom is Philips Lumea Essential not suitable?’.

Tanning advice

- Avoid sunbathing when you use Philips Lumea Essential
regularly (every two weeks).

Sunbathing can cause skin to darken (tan) or can cause sunburn (reddening
of the skin). Using Philips Lumea Essential on darkened (tanned) and/or
sunburned skin increases the risk of adverse side effects and skin reactions. See
chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.

- Sun exposure before treatment: Wait 2 weeks and perform

a skin test.

Wait at least 2 weeks after sunbathing before you use the appliance.
Perform a skin test (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘First use and
skin test’) on the area to be treated to determine the appropriate light
intensity. Failure to do so increases the risk of developing skin reactions
after treatment with Philips Lumea Essential.

ENGLISH14

- Sun exposure after treatment: Wait 48 hours before
sunbathing after treatment with Philips Lumea Essential.

Wait at least 48 hours after treatment before you expose treated areas
to the sun. Even after 48 hours, make sure that the treated skin shows no
adverse reaction to the treatment before you expose it to the sun. Cover
treated areas when you go out into the sun or use a sunblock (SPF 30+)
in the two weeks after treatment. Exposing treated areas to sunlight
without protection immediately after treatment increases the risk of
adverse side effects and skin reactions. See chapter ‘Using the appliance’,
section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.

- Tanning with articial light

Follow the instructions in ‘Sun exposure before treatment’ and
‘Sun exposure after treatment’ above.

- Tanning with creams

If you have used an articial tanning lotion, wait until the articial tan has

fully disappeared before you use Philips Lumea Essential.

Note: For more details on unwanted skin reactions, see chapter ‘Using the
appliance’, section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.

Using the appliance

Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Light intensity’ to determine which light intensities are most
suitable for your skin and body hair colour.
Shave the area you intend to treat before you use the appliance
(see chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Preparing treatment areas’).

If the treatment becomes painful at any point in time, reduce the 
light intensity setting until the treatment is comfortable again. If you

notice skin reactions stronger than slight redness, stop the treatment
immediately and read section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’
in this chapter.

First use and skin test

When you use the appliance for the rst time or after recent tanning,
we advise you to perform a skin test on each area to be treated to check
your skin’s reaction to the treatment and to get accustomed to light-based
treatment.

1 Choose an area close to the area you intend to treat.
2  Insert the small plug into the appliance and put the adapter in the

wall socket.

Note: Make sure the body attachment is placed on the appliance.

3  Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.

ENGLISH 15

, Intensity light 1 goes on.

Note: The appliance always automatically selects the lowest light intensity
setting. See section ‘Light intensity’ in chapter ‘Preparing for use’ to determine
the appropriate light intensity.

4  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.

5  Place the appliance at a 90° angle on the skin so that the body 

attachment is in contact with the skin.

Tip: For easier use, stretch the area of skin you want to treat.

, The ‘ready to ash’ light on the back of the appliance starts blinking 

to indicate that the appliance is getting ready to release a ash. 

, When the appliance is ready to release a ash, the ‘ready to ash’ 

light lights up green continuously.

6  Press the ash button to release a ash.

Note: The visible light produced by the appliance is the reection of the ash

on the skin and is harmless to your eyes. It is not necessary to wear goggles
during use. Use the appliance in a well-lit room; this reduces the perceived

brightness of the ash.

7  Release the ash button once the appliance has ashed.

8 Slide the appliance over the skin to the next area to be treated.

As long as it feels comfortable (not painful), increase the setting by
one level within the recommended range for your skin type and
apply one ash for each setting. Do not apply more than one ash 
on the same spot.

9  When you have nished the treatment, press and hold the on/off 

button for 2 seconds to switch off the appliance.

10 After the skin test, wait for 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.

ENGLISH16

Subsequent use

1 Before every treatment, clean the body attachment, the light exit

window and the metallic frame inside the body attachment. For more
information see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.

2 Start each treatment by selecting the light intensity very carefully,

based on your skin’s sensitivity and on how comfortable treatment
feels. See section ‘Recommended light intensities’ to select the right
setting for your skin type and hair colour combination.

Note: Your skin may react differently on different days/occasions for a number
of reasons. See section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’ in this chapter
for more information.

3  Follow steps 2-6 of the previous section (‘Before rst use and skin test’).

Note: It is normal that the appliance and the body attachment become warm
during use.

4 Slide the appliance over the skin to the next area to be treated

and repeat steps 5 and 6 of section ‘First use and skin test’ in this

chapter. After each ash, it takes up to 3.5 seconds until the appliance 
is ready to ash again. The ‘ready to ash’ light on the back of the

appliance starts blinking again to indicate that it is charging. Wait until
this light lights up continuously before you continue.

Tip for SC1992: The SC1992 has a ‘slide and ash’ feature: for a more efcient
treatment, keep the ash button pressed while you slide the appliance over

your skin.

Do not treat exactly the same area multiple times during one session.

This does not improve the effectiveness of the treatment, but increases 

the risk of skin reactions.

5  To avoid untreated areas, make sure the ashes are produced close 

to each other. Note that effective light only comes out of the light

exit window. However, always make sure you do not ash the same 

area twice.

6  When you have nished the treatment, press and hold the on/off 

button for 2 seconds to switch off the appliance.

7 Check the light exit window and the body attachment for hairs and

dirt and clean the appliance after use (see chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’).

Tips

How to achieve optimal results

- 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 and
hair-free 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 and hair-free, we advise you
to repeat the treatment every four to six 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.

Guidelines for treatment

Average treatment time

Area Approx. treatment time

Underarms 1 minute per underarm
Bikini line 1 minute per side
Entire bikini area 4 minutes
One lower leg 8 minutes
One full leg 14 minutes

Note: The average treatment times above have been observed during research
and tests. Individual treatment times may vary from person to person.

Intended treatment areas

The appliance is intended to treat unwanted hairs from the underarms,
arms, stomach, bikini area and legs. It should not be used on the face.

Using the appliance on the legs

Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for your legs.

- You can move the appliance up and down or across the leg, whichever
is more convenient to you. In order to maintain full contact with the
skin you can also place and hold the appliance on your skin sideways.

Note: Bony areas like shinbone and ankles are more sensitive than other areas
of the body. When you press the body attachment hard onto these areas, the
skin can be more susceptible to skin reactions, such as skin irritation and
redness. See section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’ in this chapter.
Press the body attachment onto the skin just hard enough to make the ‘ready

to ash’ light go on, but not harder.

Using the appliance in the bikini area

Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for use’,
section ‘Light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for your bikini area.
In principle, Philips Lumea Essential is safe and gentle enough for treatment
of the entire bikini area (e.g. for ‘Brazilian’ or ‘Hollywood’ style). Use a lower
setting on darker pigmented, more sensitive skin in the bikini area. Do not
use the appliance on inner labia, vagina and anus. Men who wish to treat
their pubic area must not use the appliance on the scrotum.

Note: For hygienic reasons, always clean the body attachment before you start
treating another body area (see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).

ENGLISH 17

ENGLISH18

Using the appliance on the underarms

Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for
your underarms.
Make sure you remove any deodorant, perfume, cream or other skin care
product from your underarms before treatment.

Tip: To achieve optimal results on your underarms, stand in front of a mirror to

get a good view of the area to be treated and the ‘ready to ash’ light. Raise

your arm and place your hand on the back of your neck to stretch the skin in
the underarm area.

Note: The reected light does not harm your eyes. If the scattered light is
unpleasant, close your eyes when you release a ash.

Possible side effects and skin reactions

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.

- 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 on the
treated area 24 hours after the treatment.

Rare side effects:

- Burns, excessive redness and swelling: these reactions occur rarely and
are usually the result of using a light intensity that is too high for your
skin colour. If these reactions do not disappear within 3 days, we advise
you to consult a doctor. Wait with the next treatment until the skin has
healed completely and make sure you use a lower light intensity.

- Skin discolouration: this occurs very rarely. Skin discolouration manifests
itself as either a darker or lighter patch than the surrounding area.
This is the result of using a light intensity that is too high for your skin
colour. In rare instances (usually a result of using too high intensity on
too dark skin), the effects of a pigment change can last longer than is
usually observed. In all cases, the effects are eventually reversed. Do not
treat discoloured areas until the discolouration has disappeared and
your skin has regained its normal skin colour.

- Skin infection and inammation: This occurs very rarely and may be
caused by using the appliance on wounds or cuts that resulted from
shaving, on already existing wounds or on ingrown hairs.

Problem Possible cause Solution

The hair-removal
results are not
satisfactory.

Hair starts to
grow again in
some spots on the
treated areas.

The appliance
does not work.

You have used a
light intensity that
is too low for you.

You did not make
enough overlaps

treatment than the
average user.

The appliance is
not suitable for
your hair or skin
colour.

You did not make
enough overlaps
when you used
the appliance.

Hair starts to grow
again as part of
the natural cycle of
hair growth.

The appliance is
defective.

Perform a skin test to determine if you can use a higher light
intensity (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘First use
and skin test’.

For proper hair-removal results, you have to make overlaps
when you use the appliance. See chapter ‘Using the appliance’,
section ‘Subsequent use’, step 4.

To remove all hairs successfully and to prevent the hair
root from becoming active again, the treatments have to be
repeated once every two weeks for the rst two months.
To ensure that your skin stays smooth, we advise you to repeat
the treatment every four to six 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.

Continue using the appliance for at least 6 months, as hair
regrowth can still decrease over the course of this period.
Also take into account the other solutions to this problem.

Do not use the appliance if your body hair is light blond, red,
grey or white. Do not use the appliance either if you have
dark skin. Consult the body hair and skin colour table in the
Quick Start Guide.

For proper hair-removal results, you have to make overlaps
when you use the appliance. See chapter ‘Using the appliance’,
section ‘Subsequent use’, step 4.

This is normal. It is part of the natural cycle of hair growth
that hair starts growing again. The hairs that come back,
however, tend to be softer and thinner.

Въведение

Поздравления за вашата покупка и добре дошли във Philips! За
да се възползвате изцяло от предлаганата от Philips поддръжка,
регистрирайте продукта си на адрес www.philips.com/welcome.
Епилацията, базирана на светлина, е един от най-ефикасните методи
за третиране на нежелано телесно окосмяване, при това с дълготраен
резултат. То се различава от досегашните начини за отстраняване
на окосмяване в домашни условия, тъй като съществено намалява
повторното израстване на космите. Philips е изследвал този метод с
помощта на водещи дерматолози в продължение на повече от
15 години. Вече можете да използвате тази иновативна технология в
уюта на вашия дом, когато пожелаете.
Този уред е разработен и оптимизиран за използване от жени, но
може да се използва и от мъже.
Philips Lumea Essential позволява третиране на нежелано окосмяване
върху зони на тялото под деколтето.
Philips Lumea Essential е предназначен за използване само от един човек.

начална страница.

Предимства

Уредът предлага следните предимства:

Професионална IPL технология за домашна употреба

Philips Lumea Essential използва технология, базирана на светлина,
наречена “интензивна импулсна светлина” (IPL). IPL се използва от
професионалните козметици за премахване на окосмяване през
последните 15 години. Philips Lumea Essential ви предоставя тази
иновативна технология за безопасно и ефективно използване в уюта
на вашия дом.

Ефикасно предотвратяване на повторното израстване
на косми за гладка кожа всеки ден

Този метод предотвратява повторното израстване на косми и
осигурява копринено гладка кожа за дълъг период от време. Нашите
изследвания показват значително намаляване на космите само след
две процедури. Оптимални резултати обикновено се постигат след
четири до пет процедури. При това след всяка следваща процедура се
забелязва намаление в гъстотата на окосмяването. След колко време
ще се забележи този ефект и за колко време ще се запазят резултатите
е строго индивидуално. За повече информация вижте раздел “Как да
постигнете оптимални резултати” в глава “Използване на уреда”.

Безболезнено третиране, дори в чувствителните зони
на тялото

Philips Lumea Essential е създаден в тясно сътрудничество с водещи
дерматолози за ефикасно и деликатно третиране дори на най­чувствителните места на тялото.

БЪЛГАРСКИ26

Няма нужда от резервни части, няма скрити разходи

Philips Lumea Essential е снабден с мощна лампа, която не изисква
смяна. Тази лампа може да генерира над 100 000 импулса и би
трябвало да ви позволи да поддържате постоянно резултатите за
повече от 5 години*, като същевременно спестявате разходи за скъпи
резервни лампи.
*На базата на средно използване и на препоръчителния режим за
третиране за един потребител.

Как работи технологията за интензивна импулсна светлина
на Philips

Растеж на космите

Скоростта на израстване на космите е различна при различните хора
в зависимост от възрастта, метаболизма и други фактори. Космите на
всеки обаче обикновено растат на 3 фази.
1 Фаза на растежа (анагенна фаза)
Косъмът расте активно от корена нагоре. През тази фаза
концентрацията на меланин е най-висока. На меланина се дължи
пигментацията на косъма. Концентрацията на меланин е и
определящият фактор за ефикасността на технологията за интензивна
импулсна светлина. Третирането със светлина въздейства само на
косми във фаза на растеж.
2 Фаза на разрушаване (катагенна фаза)
Растежът на косъма спира и коренът изсъхва, след което косъмът пада.
3 Фаза на покой (телогенна фаза)
Старите косми се отделят от космения фоликул и опадват. Фоликулът
остава в покой, докато биологичният часовник не му “каже” да се
активира отново и от него да порасне нов косъм.

Принцип на работа

- Уредът работи чрез нагряване на косъма и корена под кожата.
Меланинът в косъма и корена на косъма абсорбира излъчените
светлинни импулси. Колкото по-тъмен е косъмът, толкова повече
светлина се абсорбира. Този процес стимулира косъма да премине
във фазата на покой.

- Между третиранията космите падат естествено и повторното им
израстване се потиска. Космите може да паднат след една или две
седмици.

- Оптималното премахване на окосмяването не може да се
постигне с един сеанс, понеже на третиране със светлина
се поддават само космите във фаза на растеж. По време на
процедурата космите в третираната зона обикновено са в
различни фази на растеж. За ефикасно третиране на всички косми
трябва да повтаряте процедурата на всеки две седмици през
първите два месеца.

Вграденият оптичен филтър гарантира, че до кожата няма да стигне
ултравиолетова светлина и че уредът е безопасен за кожата.

- Върху зърната, ареолите, срамните устни, влагалището, ануса и

вътрешността на ноздрите и ушите. Вижте глава “Използване на
уреда”, раздел “Използване на уреда върху бикини линията”.

- Мъжете не трябва да го използват върху скротума и лицето.

- Върху или в близост до всичко с изкуствен произход, като

силиконови импланти, пейсмейкъри, отвори за подкожни вливания
(при инсулиновите помпи) или пиърсинг.

- Върху области с бенки, лунички, изпъкнали вени, по-тъмна
пигментация, белези или кожни аномалии преди да се
консултирате с лекар. Това може да доведе до изгаряне и промяна
на цвета на кожата, което потенциално затруднява установяването
на заболявания, свързани с кожата (например рак на кожата).

- Върху брадавици, татуировки или перманентен грим. Това
може да доведе до изгаряне и промяна на цвета на кожата
(хипопигментация или хиперпигментация).

- В области, където използвате дезодоранти с дълготраен ефект.
Това може да доведе до кожни реакции. Вижте глава “Използване
на уреда”, раздел “Възможни странични ефекти и кожни реакции”.
