Electromagnetic fields (EMF)
This Philips device complies with all applicable standards and regulations
regarding exposure to electromagnetic fields.
How IPL works
With IPL technology, gentle pulses of light are applied to the skin and
absorbed by the hairroot. 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 blond or light blond
hairs, as light hairs do not absorb enough light. Below you can see the hair
colors for which Lumea is suitable and effective.
English
13
Suitable body hair colors
Note: To check if your body hair color allows usage of the device, consult the
hair color table with number 3 on the foldout page.
What to expect
Immediately after the 1st treatment
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
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.
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:
-
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 skinby removing hairs on
the surface of your skin. This allows the light to beabsorbed by the hair
parts below the skin surface to ensure effective treatment. You can either
shave, short-trim, epilate or wax. Do not use hair removal 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 bodyarea.
1 Choose an area close to the area you intend to treat.
2 Switch 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.
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. The skin test should be
performed in all the areas you want to treat.
15
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 device
automatically disables to prevent you from developing skin reactions. This
means that it does not emit pulses when you press the flash button.
16
English

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.

Handling the device
1 Before use, clean the attachments and the light exit window.
18
English
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 and press firmly so that the
attachment and the integrated safety system are in contact with your
skin.
The integrated safety system prevents unintentional flashingwithout skin
contact.
5 Press the devicefirmly onto your skin to ensureproper skin contact. The
device then automatically performs a skin tone analysis and the ‘ready to
flash light’ lights up white to indicate that you can proceed with the
treatment.
Note: When the ‘ready to flash’ light lights up orange, your skin is not
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.
6 Press the flash button to release a flash.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
roomso 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.
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.
9 When you have finished the treatment, press and hold the on/off button
for 2 seconds to switch off the device.
Two treatment modes: Stamp & Flash and Slide & Flash
YourPhilips Lumea has two treatment modes for more convenient use on
different body areas:
-
The Stamp & Flash mode is ideal to treat small orcurvy areas like knees
and underarms. Simply press and releasethe 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
skinto release several flashes in a row.
Recommended treatment schedule
Initial phase
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

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.
English
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 non-scented
moisturizer on the treated area 24 hours after the treatment.
Rare side effects
-
Burns, excessive redness (e.g. around hair follicles) and swelling:
these reactions occur rarely. They are the result of using a light
intensity that is too high for your skin tone. 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 discoloration: this occurs very rarely. Skin discoloration
manifests itself as either a darker patch (hyperpigmentation) or a
lighter patch (hypopigmentation) than the surrounding area. This is
the result of using a light intensity that is too high for your skin
tone. If the discoloration does not disappear within 2 weeks, we
advise you to consult a doctor. Do not treat discolored areas until
the discoloration has disappeared and your skin has regained its
normal skin tone.
-
Skin infection is very rare but is a possible risk following a
(micro)wound, a skin burn, skin irritation etc.
-
Epidermal heating (a sharply defined brownish area which often
occurs with darker skin tones and is not accompanied with skin
dryness): This reaction occurs very rarely. In case this reaction does
not disappear within 1 week, 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.
-
Blistering (looks like small bubbles on the surface of the skin): this
occurs very rarely. In case this reaction does not disappear within 1
month or when the skin gets infected, 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.
21
22
English
-
Scarring: often the secondary effect of a burn, which can take
longer than a month to heal.
-
Folliculitis (swelling around hair follicles combined with pustule
formation): this reaction occurs very rarely and is the result of
bacteria penetrating the damaged skin. In case this reaction
occurs, we advise you to consult a doctor as folliculitis may need
antibiotic ointment.
-
Pain: this can occur during or after treatment if you have used the
device on skin that is not hair-free, if you use the device at a light
intensity that is too high for your skin tone, if you flash the same
area more than once and if you use the device on open wounds,
inflammations, infections, tattoos, burns, etc.
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.
Note: when following all instructions you may still get skin reactions. In this
case stop using the device and contact the consumer care center in your
country.
