-

Never leave the device unattended when it is switched on. Always
switch off the device after use.

-

Do not use the device if any of the conditions mentioned in
chapter ‘Who should not use Lumea? Contraindication' apply to
you.

-

Tanning with natural or artificial sunlight might influence the
sensitivity and color of your skin. Perform a skin test to determine
the appropriate light intensity setting.

13

14

English

-

Before you use Lumea, you should clean your skin and make sure
it is hair-free, entirely dry and free from oily substances.

-

Do not treat the same skin area more than once during a session.
This does not improve the effectiveness of the treatment, but
increases the risk of skin reactions.

-

Lumea should never be painful. If you experience discomfort,
reduce the light intensity setting.

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.

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.

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

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.

English

15

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 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.

16

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 choose 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 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.

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.

Skin type

Skin tone Light intensity setting

I White; You always sunburn,

never tan.

II Beige; You easily sunburn, tan

minimally.

III Light brown; You sunburn easily,

tan slowly to light brown.

IV Mid brown; You rarely sunburn,

tan easily.

V Dark brown; You rarely sunburn,

tan very easily.

VI Brownish black or darker; You

rarely or never sunburn, very
dark tanning.

Note: To check if your skin type allows usage of the device, consult the skin
tone table with number 2 on the foldout page.

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.

English

3 Press the device firmly onto your skin to ensure proper skin contact.

The 'ready to flash' light on the back of the device lights up green to
indicate that you can proceed with the treatment.

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 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.

19

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.

20

English

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 touch­ups 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.

22

English

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.

-

Scarring: often the secondary effect of a burn, which can take
longer than a month to heal.

English

-

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.

-

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.

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.

Willkommen!

Willkommen in der Beauty-World von Lumea! In nur wenigen Wochen zu
seidig glatter Haut.

Philips Lumea nutzt die IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)-Technik, bekannt als die
effektivste Methode für ein dauerhaftes Epilationsergebnis. In enger
Zusammenarbeit mit Hautärzten und Dermatologen haben wir diese
lichtbasierte Technologie, die ursprünglich in professionellen
Schönheitssalons eingesetzt wurde, für die einfache und sichere
Anwendung zu Hause weiterentwickelt. Philips Lumea ist sanft, und
ermöglicht die komfortable und wirksame Behandlung mit einer für Sie
angenehmen Lichtstärke. Unerwünschter Haarwuchs ist endgültig passé.
Genießen Sie das wunderbare Gefühl haarfreier Haut, und fühlen Sie sich
schön in Ihrer Haut – jeden Tag.

Um die Unterstützung von Philips optimal nutzen zu können, sollten Sie Ihr
Produkt unter www.philips.com/welcome registrieren. Weitere
Informationen erhalten Sie unter www.philips.com/lumea. Dort finden Sie

optimal zu nutzen.
