Light-based hair reduction 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 significantly 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 you
want.
This appliance has been designed and developed for removing men’s body
hair on areas mentioned below:
-
arms
-
underarms
-
pubic area (excluding the scrotum)
-
shoulders
-
chest

Do not use the Philips Lumea IPL hair removal system for men above the
neckline, i.e. do not use it on your face or neck. Do not use the Philips Lumea
IPL hair removal system for men on the scrotum. If you want to remove hair
from the scrotum, use the Bodygroom included in the package. Please note
that the Philips Lumea Plus for men is designed for use by one person only.
This appliance has been specifically designed for use by men, but can be
used by women as well.
For more information about Philips Lumea Plus for men, see
www.philips.com/welcome. Check our homepage regularly for updates.
This appliance provides the following benefits:
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology for home use
Philips Lumea Plus for men 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 Plus for
men now brings this innovative technology to the comfort of your home.
Effective hair re-growth 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
six to seven 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 (see 'How to achieve optimal results').
7
Gentle treatment
Philips Lumea Plus for men has been developed in close cooperation with
leading dermatologists for an effective and gentle treatment.
Cordless operation for maximum freedom and flexibility
Because the appliance runs on rechargeable batteries, it is portable and can
be used anywhere.
No replacement parts needed, no hidden costs
Philips Lumea Plus for men is equipped with a high-performance lamp
which does not require replacement. This lamp can generate over 250,000
flashes 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 efficacy
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. 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.
What effect can you expect after treatment?
-
After you have treated the hairs every two weeks two to four times
(depending on your skin/hair type and the intensity setting), you notice
that hair growth decreases and that the hairs that grow back are softer.
-
After you have treated the hairs six to eight times (depending on your
skin/hair type and the intensity setting), you notice that most of the hairs
do not return.
-
After you have treated the hairs eight times, continue to use the Lumea
Plus for men to maintain a smooth skin (see 'Maintenance phase').
-
If you stop using the Lumea Plus for men, the hairs start to regrow after
some time.

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.
14
English
Preparing treatment areas
1 Always shave the areas you intend to treat before you use the Lumea
Plus for men. The Lumea Plus for men can only be used on a shaved skin.
Note: Philips recommends that you use the Philips Bodygroom included
in the package to preshave the areas to be treated with the Philips
Lumea Plus for men. Use the Philips Bodygroom dry because the Philips
Lumea Plus for men can only be used on dry skin.
Note: If your last depilation method involved removing hairs by the root
(e.g epilating, waxing etc.), wait until you notice significant hair regrowth
before you use Philips Lumea Plus for men.
Note: Do not use depilatory creams instead of shaving.
Setting the light intensity
Philips Lumea Plus for men is an appliance developed for home use and
therefore not comparable with professional light-based appliances with
respect to pain sensation. Pulses of light delivered by Philips Lumea Plus for
men are gentler than those from professional appliances and therefore you
can expect a convenient and effective treatment.
Adjust the light intensity to your skin and body hair colour and to a level you
find comfortable.
The table with recommended light intensities 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 higherintensities,
but you should reduce the light intensity if you experience any pain or
discomfort.
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 intensity you use can feel warm or hot
on the skin, but should never feel uncomfortable.
To prevent skin reactions, see chapter ‘Using the
appliance’, section ‘Possible side effects and skin
reactions’.

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 Plus for men as long as sunburn persists.
-
When the sunburn has disappeared, perform a skin test on the area to be
treated to determine the appropriate light intensity (see 'First use and
skin test').
-
If your skin is tanned, perform a skin tes (see 'First use and skin test')t on
the area to be treated and select the appropriate light intensity. A failure
to do so causes a risk of developing skin reactions after treatment with
Philips Lumea Plus for men.
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 in the sun or use a sun block (SPF
30+) in the two weeks after the treatment.
16
English
-
Exposing treated areas to the sun immediately after treatment without
protection can increase the risk of adverse side effects and skin reactions
(see '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 artificial tanning lotion, wait until the artificial tan has
fully disappeared before you use Philips Lumea Plus for men.
Using the appliance
Check the recommended light intensities table (see '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 '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. HYPERLINK
First use and skin test
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.
1 Choose an area close to the intended treatment area.
2 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
Subsequent use
English
-
Intensity light 1 goes on automatically to indicate that the appliance is
switched on at default intensity 1.
3 Apply one flash at the lowest recommended intensity for your skin type.
4 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.
5 After the skin test, wait for 24 hours and check your skin for any reaction.
If the skin shows reactions, choose the highest setting that did not result
in any skin reaction for subsequent use.
1 Before every treatment, clean the body attachment, light exit window
and metallic frame of Philips Lumea Plus for men.
2 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
-
Intensity light 1 goes on automatically to indicate that the appliance is
switched on at default intensity 1.
Note: It is normal that the appliance and the attachment become warm
during use.
3 Start each treatment by selecting the light intensity very carefully, based
on your skin’s sensitivity and on how comfortable the 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.
4 Press the intensity increase button to increase the intensity. To lower the
intensity, press the intensity decrease button.
-
Every time you press the button, the corresponding intensity light
starts to flash. This takes a few seconds.
17
18
English
5 Place the appliance at a 90° angle on the skin so that the body
attachment and the safety ring are in contact with the skin.
Note: It may be difficult to have the safety ring make proper contact with
the skin on certain areas. In that case, you could hold the Philips Lumea
Plus for men upside down, while you press the flash button with your
thumb.
6 Press the safety ring fully onto the skin with slight pressure.
-
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.
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.
Tip: For easier use, stretch the 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.
Note: Bony areas like shinbone, ankles or ribs are more sensitive than
other areas of the body. When you press the appliance hard onto these
areas, the skin can be more susceptible to skin reactions like irritation
and redness. See section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’ in this
chapter. Press the appliance onto the skin just hard enough to make the
‘ready to flash’ light go on, but no harder.
7 Press the flash button to release a flash. Now you have 2 options to
release the next flash:
English
a Keep the flash button pressed. The appliance releases one flash after
another as long as the safety ring is in full contact with the skin.
Immediately after the appliance has flashed, slide the appliance to the
next area. Make sure the safety ring is fully pressed onto the skin.
This ‘Slide & Flash mode’ is especially convenient for treatment of
larger areas like the legs.
b Let go of the flash button after each flash. For the next flash, place the
appliance on the area right next to the previously flashed area. Make
sure the safety ring is fully pressed onto the skin.
This ‘Step & Flash mode’ guarantees a precise treatment of e.g. the
knees or ankles.
Note: After a few seconds, the appliance is ready to flash again, so make
sure that you move it to the next area immediately after it has flashed.
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 reaction.
Note: The visible light produced by the appliance is the reflection of the
flash in the skin and is harmless to your eyes. It is not necessary to wear
goggles during use.
8 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 with integrated UV
filter. Make sure the flashes are produced close to each other. Ask
somebody else to help you with the treatment if you want to treat your
back to ensure that the treated areas overlap.
9 Switch off the appliance after you have finished the treatment.
10 Check the body attachment and light exit window for hairs and dirt and
clean the appliance after use. See chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.
19
Guidelines for treatment
Average treatment time
Area Approx. treatment time
Underarms 2 minutes
Entire pubic area (excluding scrotum) 2-5 minutes
Shoulders 7-12 minutes
Chest up to 20 minutes, depending on size of hairy area
Back up to 20 minutes, depending on size of hairy area
One lower leg 7-12 minutes
One full leg up to 20 minutes
Note: The average treatment times above have been observed during
research and tests. Individual treatment times may vary from person to
person.
20
English
Note: Fully charged batteries offer at least 370 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.
Intended treatment areas
The appliance is intended to treat unwanted hairs on the underarms,
shoulders, back, chest, arms, pubic area (excluding the scrotum) and legs.
Using the appliance on the shoulders, chest, back and legs
If you use the appliance to treat your shoulders, chest, back and 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: If you want to treat your back and your shoulders, you require the help
of your partner or a friend to guarantee complete coverage and best results.
Tip: The back and chest are often tanned. Take special care to select the
appropriate intensity for treating the tanned skin to prevent skin reactions.
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 to three months. Your skin should be smooth
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, 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 prickles, 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.
-
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.
English
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 patch (hyperpigmentation) or lighter patch
(hypopigmentation) 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

Hair starts to grow again on
some spots of the treated
areas.
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.
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 to three months. Your skin
should be smooth by then.To ensure
that your skin stays smooth, 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.
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 7.
Hair starts to grow again as
part of the natural cycle of
hair growth.
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, sollten Sie Ihr Produkt
unter www.philips.com/welcome registrieren.
Lichtbasierte Haarentfernung ist eine der effektivsten Methoden, um
unerwünschtes Körperhaar langanhaltend zu entfernen. Sie unterscheidet
sich von aktuellen Methoden der Haarentfernung zu Hause, da sie das
Haarwachstum deutlich reduziert. Dieses Verfahren ist das Ergebnis von
mehr als zehnjähriger gemeinsamer Forschungs- und Entwicklungsarbeit
von Philips und führenden Dermatologen. Jetzt können Sie diese innovative
Technologie jederzeit und ungestört zu Hause nutzen.
Dieses Gerät wurde für die Körperenthaarung bei Männern entwickelt. Es ist
speziell für folgende Körperpartien geeignet:
-
Arme
-
Achselhöhlen
-
Schambereich (mit Ausnahme des Hodensacks)
-
Schultern
-
Brust

Verwenden Sie das Philips Lumea IPL Haarentfernungssystem für Männer
nicht oberhalb des Halsansatzes, also nicht für Gesicht oder Hals. Wenden
Sie das Philips Lumea IPL Haarentfernungssystem für Männer nicht am
Hodensack an. Wenn Sie Haare am Hodensack entfernen möchten,
benutzen Sie dafür den im Lieferumfang enthaltenen Bodygroom. Beachten
Sie, dass der Philips Lumea Plus für Männer nur von einer Person verwendet
werden sollte. Dieses Gerät wurde speziell für Männer entwickelt, es kann
jedoch ebenso von Frauen verwendet werden.
Weitere Informationen zum Philips Lumea Plus für Männer erhalten Sie
unter www.philips.com/welcome. Auf unserer Website finden Sie
regelmäßig aktuelle Informationen.
Dieses Gerät bietet die folgenden Vorteile:

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)-Technologie für den Gebrauch zu
Hause
Philips Lumea Plus für Männer arbeitet mit einer lichtbasierten Technologie
namens "Intense Pulsed Light" (IPL). IPL wird bereits seit 15Jahren in der
Kosmetikbranche zur Haarentfernung eingesetzt. Dank Philips Lumea Plus
für Männer 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 zeigen eine deutliche
Haarabnahme bereits nach zwei Behandlungen. Optimale Ergebnisse
wurden im Allgemeinen nach vier bis fünf Behandlungen erzielt. Von
Behandlung zu Behandlung ist eine Verringerung der Haardichte erkennbar.
Wie schnell eine Wirkung sichtbar wird und wie lange die Ergebnisse
anhalten, ist jedoch bei jeder Person (siehe 'Erzielen optimaler Ergebnisse')
unterschiedlich.
Sanfte Behandlung
Philips Lumea Plus für Männer wurde in enger Zusammenarbeit mit
führenden Dermatologen entwickelt. Das Resultat ist eine wirksame und
sanfte Behandlung.
Akkubetrieb für maximale Bewegungsfreiheit und Flexibilität
Da das Gerät mit Akkus betrieben wird, ist es tragbar und kann überall
eingesetzt werden.
Keine Ersatzteile erforderlich, keine versteckten Kosten
Philips Lumea Plus für Männer ist mit einer Hochleistungslampe
ausgestattet, die nicht ersetzt werden muss. Diese Lampe kann über
250.000Lichtimpulse erzeugen. Damit sollten Sie mehr als 5Jahre* lang
gute Ergebnisse erzielen und gleichzeitig Geld für teure Ersatzlampen
sparen.

Funktionsweise der Intense Pulsed Light-Technologie 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 3Phasen.
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 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. Dieser Vorgang 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. Die Haare im behandelten
Körperbereich befinden sich normalerweise in verschiedenen
Wachstumsphasen. Zur effektiven Behandlung aller Haare sollten Sie die
Behandlung mehrmals hintereinander in einem Rhythmus von zwei Wochen
wiederholen. Ein integrierter optischer Filter sorgt dafür, dass keine UVStrahlen auf die Haut gelangen und das Gerät somit keine Hautschäden
verursacht.
Welche Ergebnisse können Sie nach der Behandlung erwarten?
-
Nachdem Sie die Haare zwei- bis viermal in einem Rhythmus von zwei
Wochen behandelt haben (je nach Haut-/Haartyp und Intensitätsstufe),
werden Sie bemerken, dass das Haarwachstum abnimmt und die
nachwachsenden Haare weicher sind.
-
Nachdem Sie die Haare sechs- bis achtmal behandelt haben (je nach
Haut-/Haartyp und Intensitätsstufe), werden Sie bemerken, dass die
meisten Haare nicht mehr nachwachsen.
