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 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 specically designed and optimised for use by women, but can be used by men as well. Philips Lumea enables treatment of unwanted hair below the neck, using the tailored attachment. Philips Lumea is designed for use by one person only. For more information about Philips Lumea and movies about how to use Lumea, 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 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 now brings you this innovative technology for safe and effective use in 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 already after 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 has been developed in close cooperation with leading dermatologists and has been tested by over 2000 women for an effective and gentle treatment, even on the most sensitive body areas.
ENGLISH8
Cordless operation for maximum freedom and exibility
Because the appliance runs on rechargeable batteries, it is portable and can be used anywhere.
Long-lasting battery for complete body treatment
A fully charged battery provides a complete body treatment (underarms, bikini line and lower legs) in one go, without recharging breaks.* *Based on the average treatment times for each area and the recommended intensities for one user.
No replacement parts needed, no hidden costs
Philips Lumea 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 the average treatment times for each area and the recommended intensities 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 this method. 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.
ENGLISH 9
- 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 lter ensures that no UV light reaches the skin and guarantees that the appliance is safe for the skin.

ENGLISH 13
Charging
Fully charge the batteries before you use the appliance for the rst time and when the batteries are empty. Fully charging the batteries takes up to 1 hour and 40 minutes. Charge the appliance when the charging light lights up orange during use to indicate that the battery is low and will run out soon. Fully charged batteries provide at least 370 ashes at light intensity 5. Fully charge the appliance every 3 to 4 months, even if you do not use the appliance for a longer time.
Charge the appliance in the following way:
1 Switch off the appliance.
2 Insert the small plug into the appliance and put the adapter in the
wall socket.
, The charging light ashes green to indicate that the appliance is
charging.
, When the batteries are fully charged, the charging light lights up green
continuously.

- The adapter and the appliance feel warm during charging. This is normal.
- You cannot use the appliance during charging.
- This appliance is equipped with batter y-overheat protection and does
not charge if the room temperature exceeds 40°C.
Never cover the appliance and adapter during charging.
3 After charging, remove the adapter from the wall socket and pull the
small plug out of the appliance.
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
1 Shave 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 signicant hair regrowth before you
use Philips Lumea. Do not use depilatory creams instead of shaving.
ENGLISH14
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 dir t. A contaminated light exit window and attachment can reduce the life and efcacy of the appliance. In addition, burns or black spots that appear on the light exit window and attachments 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.
2 Clean 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).
3 Check the appliance, especially the light exit window and attachment,
for trapped hair, dust and bres. 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 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
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).
2 Each 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.
Note: The required light intensity for different body areas may vary due to different skin colours. For example, the skin of the lower legs can be darker than the skin of the underarms due to more sun exposure.
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.
ENGLISH 15
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.
Skin colour and characteristics:
Body hair colour:
dark blond/light brown/brown/ dark brown/black
white/grey/red/ light blond
White (always sunburn, no tanning)
4/5 4/5 4/5 3/4 1/2/3 x
x x x x x x
Beige (easy sunburn, minimal tanning)
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 articial 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
- 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.
- 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.
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.
- 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’.
Light brown (sometimes sunburn, good tanning)
Mid brown (rarely sunburn, fast and good tanning)
Dark brown (rarely sunburn, very good tanning)
Brownish black and darker (rarely to never sunburn, very dark tanning)
