leading dermatologists for over 10 years.You can now use this innovative technology comfortably in the privacy of your own home, whenever and wherever you want.

This appliance has been specifically designed and optimised for use by women, but can be used by men as well.

It is intended for removing body hair on areas mentioned below: -- Underarms

-- Arms

-- Stomach -- Bikini area -- Legs

Do not use Philips Lumea on the face.

Philips Lumea is designed for use by one person only.

For more information about Philips Lumea, see www.philips.com/lumea. Check our homepage regularly for updates.

Benefits

This appliance provides the following benefits:

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology for home use

Philips Lumea 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 fifteen years. Philips Lumea 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 significant hair reduction already after two treatments. Optimal results were generally achieved after four to five 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 has been developed in close cooperation with leading
		dermatologists for an effective and gentle treatment, even on the most
		sensitive body areas.
		Cordless operation for maximum freedom and flexibility
		Because the appliance runs on rechargeable batteries, it is portable and can
		be used anywhere.
		Lamp does not require replacement
		Philips Lumea is equipped with a high performance lamp which does
		not require replacement.This lamp can generate over 80,000 flashes 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 efficacy of this
		method. Only hairs in the growing phase are susceptible to treatment with
		light.
1		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. 

The hair now sheds naturally and the hair growth 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 every two weeks for a few times.

An integrated optical filter ensures that no UV light reaches the skin and guarantees that the appliance is safe for the skin.

English 13

Preparing for use

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

Preparing treatment areas

1Shave the areas you intend to treat as long as you still experience hair regrowth.

Note: If your last depilation method involved removing hairs by the roots (e.g epilating, waxing etc.), wait until you notice significant hair regrowth before you use Philips Lumea. Do not use depilatory creams instead of shaving.

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

-- The light exit window and attachment may become contaminated with stray hairs and dirt. A contaminated light exit window and attachment can reduce the life and efficacy of the appliance. In addition, burns or black spots that appear on the light exit window and attachment due to contamination can 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.

2Clean your skin and make sure it is hair-free, entirely dry and free from oily substances (e.g. present in cosmetic products like deodorants, lotions, perfumes, tanning creams and sunscreens).

3Check the appliance, especially the light exit window and attachment, for trapped hair, dust and fibres. If you see any contamination, clean

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

Notes:

-- If shaving causes wounds or lesions, your skin may be more sensitive and the light treatment may sometimes feel uncomfortable.

-- Once the hairs stop growing back, which usually happens after 4-5 treatments, you no longer have to shave before you use the appliance.

Setting the light intensity

Philips Lumea is an appliance developed for consumer use at home and therefore not comparable with professional light-based appliances with respect to pain sensation. The pulses of light delivered by Philips Lumea are gentler than those from professional appliances and therefore you can expect a convenient and effective treatment.

You have to adjust the light intensity to your skin and body hair colour and to a level you find comfortable.

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

1Consult the table below to determine which light intensities are most suitable for your skin and body hair colour and to check if this method

is suitable for you (if it is not, this is indicated with x in the table).

2Each body area and possibly even parts of a body area may require a separate appropriate light intensity according to the recommended light intensities table below.The method is more effective at higher intensities, but you should reduce the light intensity if you experience any pain or discomfort.

14 English

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.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.

Important

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

If your skin has been exposed to natural sunlight or an artificial tanning method, it may be darker than during the previous treatment. Check the table above to determine which settings are suitable for your skin colour.

Tanning advice

Sun exposure before treatment

-- Wait at least 48 hours after sunbathing before you use the appliance. Sunbathing can cause skin to darken (tan) and/or can cause sunburn (reddening of the skin).

-- After these 48 hours, check the skin for any remaining sunburn. Do not use Philips Lumea as long as sunburn persists.

-- When the sunburn has disappeared, perform a skin test (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘First use’) on the area to be treated to determine the appropriate light intensity.

-- If your skin is tanned, perform a skin test (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘First use’) on the area to be treated to determine the appropriate light intensity. A failure to do so causes a risk of developing skin reactions after treatment with Philips Lumea.

Sun exposure after treatment

-- Wait at least 24 hours after treatment before you expose treated areas to the sun. Even after 24 hours, make sure that the treated skin does not show any redness from the treatment anymore before you expose it to the sun.

English 15

-- 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 can increase the risk of adverse side effects and skin reactions. See chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.

Tanning with artificial light

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

Tanning with creams

-- If you have used an artificial tanning lotion, wait until the artificial tan has fully disappeared before you use Philips Lumea.

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 ‘Setting the light intensity’ to determine which light intensities are most suitable for your skin and body hair colour. Use the appliance in a well-lit room; this reduces the perceived brightness of the flash. 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 intolerably 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

1 Attach the body attachment to the appliance.

The body attachment can be used to treat unwanted body hair on all body areas below the neck (for exceptions, see chapter ‘Important’, section ‘Contraindications’).

2 Choose an area close to the area you intend to treat.

16 English

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

The appliance always starts automatically at the lowest setting.

Apply one flash at the lowest recommended intensity for your skin type (for instructions on how to release a flash, see steps 6 to 9 of section ‘Subsequent use’ in this chapter).

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 flash for each setting. Do not apply more than one flash on the same spot.

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.

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

Subsequent use

1Before every treatment, clean the attachment, the light exit window and the metallic frame inside the attachment of Philips Lumea. For more information see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.

2Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.

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

3Start each treatment by selecting the light intensity very carefully, based on your skin’s sensitivity and on how comfortable treatment

feels.

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.

English 17

4Press the % button to increase the intensity.To lower the intensity, press the ^button.

,, Every time you press the button, the corresponding intensity light starts to flash.This takes a few seconds.

5Place the appliance in a 90° angle on the skin so that the attachment and the safety ring are in contact with the skin.

6Press the safety ring fully onto the skin with slight pressure.

Note:The safety ring has contact switches that together are the safety system of the appliance.This safety ring prevents unintentional flashing without skin contact.

,, The ‘ready to flash’ light on the back of the appliance lights up green when all contact switches of the safety ring are in contact with the skin and the appliance is charged. This may take up to 3.5 seconds.

Tip: For easier use, stretch the area of skin you want to treat. On areas with softer skin, you may need to exert more pressure on the appliance to push in all contact switches.

7 Press the flash button to release a flash.

Note:The visible light produced by the appliance is the reflection of the flash on the skin and is harmless to your eyes. It is not necessary to wear goggles during use.

8Let go of the flash button after the appliance has flashed.

9For the next flash, repeat steps 6 to 9.After each flash it takes up to 3.5 seconds until the appliance is ready to flash again.

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.

18 English

To avoid untreated areas, always make sure there is some overlap with the previously treated area when you place the appliance on the skin.The effective light only comes out of the light exit window. Make sure the flashes are produced close to each other.

Switch off the appliance after you have finished the treatment.

Check the light exit window and the attachment for hairs and dirt and clean the appliance after use (see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).

		Guidelines for treatment
		Average treatment time
	Area	Approx. treatment time
	Underarms	1.5 minutes per underarm
	Bikini line	1.5 minutes per side
	Entire bikini area	5 minutes
	One lower leg	12 minutes
	One full leg	20 minutes
		Note:The average treatment times above have been observed during research
		and tests. Individual treatment times may vary from person to person.
		Note: Fully charged batteries offer at least 320 flashes at intensity 5. How long
		you can use the appliance depends on the size of the area to be treated and
		the intensity setting used.
		Using the appliance on the legs
		Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for use’,
		section ‘Setting the 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.
		Note: Bony areas like shinbone and ankles are more sensitive than other areas
		of the body.When you press the 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
		attachment onto the skin just hard enough to make the ‘ready to flash’ light go
		on, but not harder.
		Tip:The appliance may leave imprints on the skin in the treated areas.These
		imprints may show you where you can make the treated areas overlap.
		If you use the appliance to treat both your lower and upper legs, you may
		have to recharge the appliance during the treatment.This is normal. How
		long you can use the appliance depends on the size of the treatment area
		and the intensity setting used.

Tip: Many users combine leg treatments with other activities around the house such as watching TV or listening to music.You can also try this to make the experience more enjoyable and relaxing.

English 19

Using the appliance in the bikini area

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

In principle, Philips Lumea 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 attachment before you start treating another body area.

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 flash’ light. Raise your arm and place your hand in your neck to stretch the skin in the underarm area. In this way the safety ring can be pressed more easily onto the skin, which makes the treatment easier to perform.

Note:The reflected light does not harm your eyes. If the scattered light is unpleasant, close your eyes when you release a flash.

How to achieve optimal results

-- It is normal that hairs are still visible after the first 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 first two months.Your skin should be smooth and hair-free by then. Please read section ‘Maintenance phase’ to find 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.

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.

20 English

-- Dry skin and itching may occur because of the 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 cloth. 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 very rarely. They are 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. 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 and your skin has regained its normal skin colour.

-- Skin infection and inflammation: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.

-- Excessive pain: this can occur during or after treatment if you have used the appliance on unshaved skin, if you use the appliance at a light intensity that is too high for your skin colour, if you flash the same area more than once and if you use the appliance on open wounds, inflammations, infections, tattoos, burns, etc. See chapter ‘Important’, section ‘Contraindications’ for more information.

After use

-- Do not apply any perfumed cosmetics to the areas treated immediately after treatment.

-- Do not use deodorant immediately after treating the underarms.Wait until any skin redness has disappeared completely.

-- See chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Tanning advice’ for information about sun exposure and artificial tanning.

Cleaning and maintenance

To ensure optimal results and a long life for the appliance, clean the appliance before and after each use and, if necessary, also during the treatment.The appliance loses its effectiveness if you do not clean it properly.

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

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

The hair-removal results are not satisfactory.

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

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

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

You do not use the appliance as often as recommended.

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.

Select a higher light intensity the next time.

For proper hair-removal results, you have to make overlaps when you use the appliance. See chapter ‘Using the appliance’, step 11.

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 first two months.Your skin should be smooth and hair-free by then.To ensure that you keep these results, we advise you to repeat the treatments on the underarms, bikini area, arms and stomach every two weeks. On the

legs, regrowth is usually slower.Therefore, a treatment once every four weeks is probably sufficient to keep your legs smooth and hair-free. If you see too many hairs grow back within these four weeks, then simply shorten the interval between treatments again, but do not treat more often than once every two weeks.

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 very dark skin.

For proper hair-removal results, you have to make overlaps when you use the appliance. See chapter ‘Using the appliance’, step 11.

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.

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 www.philips.com/lumea.

Haarentfernung mit Licht ist eine der wirksamsten Methoden für eine lang anhaltende Entfernung von unerwünschtem Körperhaar. Sie unterscheidet sich von gängigen Enthaarungsmethoden zur häuslichen Anwendung, indem sie das Nachwachsen der Haare deutlich reduziert. DiesesVerfahren ist das Ergebnis von mehr als zehnjähriger gemeinsamer Forschungsund

Entwicklungsarbeit von Philips und führenden Dermatologen. Jetzt können Sie diese innovativeTechnologie jederzeit und ungestört zu Hause nutzen.

Dieses Gerät wurde speziell für Frauen entwickelt und optimiert, kann jedoch ebenso von Männern verwendet werden.

Es ist für die Entfernung von Körperhaar in folgenden Bereichen vorgesehen:

--	Achselhöhlen
--	Arme
--	Bauch
--	Bikinizone
--	Beine

Verwenden Sie Philips Lumea nicht im Gesicht.

Philips Lumea sollte nur von einer Person benutzt werden. Weitere Informationen zu Philips Lumea erhalten Sie unter www.

Informationen.

Vorteile

Dieses Gerät bietet die folgendenVorteile:

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

Philips Lumea arbeitet mit einer lichtbasierten Technologie namens “Intense Pulsed Light” (IPL), die bereits seit 15 Jahren in der Kosmetikbranche zur

Haarentfernung eingesetzt wird. Dank Philips Lumea können Sie diese innovative Technologie nun auch zu Hause nutzen.

Das Nachwachsen von Haaren wird wirksam verhindert

Diese Methode sorgt langfristig dafür, dass weniger Haare nachwachsen und Ihre Haut seidig glatt bleibt. Unsere Studien haben schon nach zwei Anwendungen ein deutlich geringeres Haarwachstum gezeigt. Optimale Ergebnisse wurden im Allgemeinen nach vier bis fünf Behandlungen erzielt.

		erkennbar.Wie schnell eine Wirkung sichtbar wird und wie lange die
		Ergebnisse anhalten, ist jedoch bei jeder Person unterschiedlich.Weitere
		Informationen erhalten Sie im Kapitel “Das Gerät benutzen” unter dem
		Abschnitt “Erzielen optimaler Ergebnisse”.
		Sanfte Behandlung,selbst an empfindlichen Körperpartien
		Philips Lumea wurde in enger Zusammenarbeit mit führenden
		Dermatologen entwickelt. Das Resultat ist eine wirksame und sanfte
		Behandlung, die selbst für die empfindlichsten Körperpartien geeignet ist.
		Akkubetrieb für maximale Bewegungsfreiheit und Flexibilität
		Da das Gerät mit Akkus betrieben wird, ist es tragbar und kann überall
		eingesetzt werden.
		Die Lampe muss nicht ausgetauscht werden.
		Philips Lumea ist mit einer Hochleistungslampe ausgestattet, die nicht
		ausgetauscht werden muss. Diese Lampe kann über 80.000 Lichtimpulse
		erzeugen. Damit sollten Sie mehr als 5 Jahre* lang gute Ergebnisse erzielen
		und gleichzeitig Geld für teure Ersatzlampen sparen.
		*Bei normalem Gebrauch und empfohlener Behandlung für einen Benutzer.
		Die Technologie “Intense Pulsed Light” von Philips
		Haarwuchs
		Die Wuchsgeschwindigkeit von Haaren ist von Person zu Person
		unterschiedlich und von Alter, Stoffwechsel und anderen Faktoren abhängig.
		Im Allgemeinen erfolgt der Haarwuchs allerdings in 3 Phasen.
		1 Wachstumsphase (Anagen-Phase)
		Dies ist die aktive Wachstumsphase, in der das Haar über die Wurzel
		genährt wird. In dieser Phase enthält es die höchste Konzentration an
		Melanin – ein Pigment, das für die Färbung von Haaren verantwortlich ist.
		Die Melaninkonzentration ist darüber hinaus der entscheidende Faktor für
		die Wirksamkeit dieser Methode. Nur die Haare in der Wachstumsphase
1		können durch Lichtbehandlung entfernt werden.
		2 Abbauphase (Catagen-Phase)

Das Haar wächst nicht mehr, und die Wurzel schrumpft, bevor das Haar ausfällt.

3 Ruhephase (Telogen-Phase)

Das alte Haar löst sich vom Haarfollikel und fällt aus. Der Follikel ruht, bis ihm die biologische Uhr mitteilt, dass er wieder aktiv werden und ein neues Haar wachsen lassen soll.

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. DieserVorgang regt das Haar an, in die

Ruhephase überzugehen. 

Das Haar fällt nun auf natürliche Weise aus, und der Haarwuchs wird unterdrückt. 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 befinden. Zur effektiven Behandlung aller Haare sollten Sie die Behandlung
