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 rst 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 ash button to release
a ash.
4 Slide the device over the skin to the next area to be treated.
5 Increase the setting by one level, apply a ash 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.
Using your Philips Lumea
Skin tone sensor
For extra safety the integrated skin tone sensor measures the skin tone
at the beginning of each session and occasionally during the session. If it
detects a skin tone that is too dark for treatment with Lumea, the device
automatically disables to prevent you from developing skin reactions.
This means that it does not emit pulses when you press the ash button.
