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 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:

After each treatment, wait at least 24 hours before tanning. Even after 24 hours, make sure that the treated skin does not show any redness from the treatment anymore. Use a sunblock SPF 50+ on the treated areas in the 48 hours after treatment when exposing your skin to the sun. After this period, you can use your regular sunblock.

After tanning, wait at least 48 hours before you use Lumea. Perform a skin test 48 hours after tanning 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.

English

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.

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.

Skin test

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.

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

Attachments

Placing and removing

To place the attachment, simply snap it onto the light exit window.

To remove the attachment, pull it off the light exit window.

Body attachment

You can use the body attachment to treat unwanted hair on several body areas below the neckline. You can use it for example for fast treatment of larger areas like legs.

Precision attachment

The precision attachment includes an additional integrated light filter for extra safety and you can therefore use it to treat unwanted facial hair on the upper lip, chin and sideburns. You can also use the precision attachment to easily treat hard to reach areas such as toes, bikini area or armpits.However, do not treat your eyebrows with Lumea.

English

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 intensity increase button or

the intensity decrease button until you have reached the required setting..

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.

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

Handling the device

1 Before use, charge the device, clean the attachments and the light exit

window and select the right light intensity for your skin tone.

2 Place the device at a 90° angle on the skin so that the attachment and

the safety ring are in contact with your skin. The safety ring prevents unintentional flashing without skin contact.

3/4

1/2/3

You cannot use the device

4 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 room so that the light is less glaring to your eyes.

5 Place it 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.

6 To make sure that you have treated all areas, release the flashes close to

each other. 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.

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

English

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 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.

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 non-scented moisturizer on the treated area 24 hours after the treatment.

Rare side effects

Aftercare

English

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 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 and inflammation: This occurs very rarely and may be caused by using the device 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 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.

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.

Campos electromagnéticos (CEM)

Este dispositivo de Philips cumple con todas las normas y regulaciones aplicables sobre la exposición a campos electromagnéticos.

Cómo funciona la luz pulsada intensa (IPL)

Con la tecnología IPL, se aplican suaves pulsos de luz a la piel que son también absorbidos por las raíces Cuanto más oscuro es el vello, más absorbe los pulsos de luz.

Los pulsos de luz estimulan al folículo piloso para que entre en una fase de reposo. Como consecuencia, el vello desaparece naturalmente y se evita el crecimiento, dejando siempre la piel suave como la seda.

El ciclo de crecimiento del vello consta de diferentes etapas. La tecnología IPL solo es efectiva cuando el vello se encuentra en su etapa de crecimiento. No todos los vellos se encuentran en la fase de crecimiento al mismo tiempo. Es por eso que recomendamos un programa de 8 semanas de tratamiento seguido de retoques para asegurarse de que todos los vellos se traten de manera efectiva en su etapa de crecimiento.

Nota: El tratamiento con Lumea no es efectivo si se tiene vello rubio claro o rubio, debido a que el vello claro no absorbe suficiente luz. A continuación puede ver los colores de vello en los que Lumea funciona de manera adecuada y efectiva.

Consejos de bronceado

Bronceado con luz solar natural o artificial

La exposición deliberada de la piel a la luz solar natural o artificial para broncearse afecta la sensibilidad y al color de la piel. Por lo tanto, la siguiente información es muy importante:

Espere al menos 24 horas después de cada tratamiento para broncearse. Incluso después de 24 horas, asegúrese de que la piel tratada ya no muestra ninguna rojez debido al tratamiento. Use protector solar factor 50 o mayor en las zonas tratadas durante las 48 horas posteriores al tratamiento cuando exponga la piel al sol. Después de este período, puede usar el bloqueador solar que usa normalmente.

Espere al menos 48 horas después de broncearse para usar Lumea. Realice una prueba de piel 48 horas después de broncearse para determinar el ajuste de intensidad de luz apropiado.

No utilice Lumea en zonas del cuerpo quemadas por el sol. Nota: La exposición al sol indirecta u ocasional no se considera como

broncearse.

Bronceado con cremas

Si ha utilizado una loción autobronceante, espere hasta que el bronceado artificial haya desaparecido completamente antes de utilizar el dispositivo.

Antes de usar Lumea

Preparación de la piel

Antes de usar Lumea, debe realizar un tratamiento previo de la piel eliminando el vello de la superficie de la misma. Esto permite que la luz sea absorbida por las partes del vello que se encuentran debajo de la superficie de la piel y que el tratamiento sea eficaz. Puede afeitarlos, recortarlos, depilarlos o eliminarlos con cera. No utilice cremas depilatorias, ya que los compuestos químicos pueden causar reacciones en la piel.

Prueba de piel

Español

Si decide usar cera, espere 24 horas antes de utilizar Lumea, para dejar descansar a la piel. Sugerimos tomar una ducha antes del tratamiento para asegurarse de que todos los posibles restos de cera se eliminen de la piel.

1 Prepare las zonas que desee tratar con Lumea. 2 Limpie la piel y asegúrese de que esté libre de vellos y sustancias

aceitosas y totalmente seca. Nota: Cuando el vello deja de crecer, generalmente tras 4 o 5 sesiones,

ya no es necesario realizar un tratamiento previo de la piel antes de usar el dispositivo.

Cuando use Lumea por primera vez o después de broncearse, realice una prueba de piel en cada zona donde vaya a aplicar el tratamiento. La prueba de piel es necesaria para controlar la reacción de la piel al tratamiento y para determinar el ajuste correcto de la intensidad de la luz para cada zona del cuerpo.

1 Escoja una zona cercana al área que vaya a tratar. 2 Encienda el dispositivo. Seleccione el ajuste de intensidad 1. 3 Coloque el dispositivo sobre la piel y presione el botón de emisión de

pulsos para generar un pulso.

4 Deslice el dispositivo sobre la piel hasta la siguiente zona a tratar. 5 Aumente 1 punto la intensidad, emita un pulso y deslice el dispositivo a

la siguiente zona. Repita este paso con las diferentes intensidades dentro de las recomendadas para su tipo de piel.

6 Después de la prueba de piel, espere 24 horas y compruebe si la piel

muestra alguna reacción. Si la piel muestra alguna reacción, elija el ajuste de mayor intensidad que no le haya provocado ninguna reacción después de la aplicación.
