Using your Philips Lumea
Skin tone sensor
Selecting the right light intensity
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.
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 'ready to flash' light starts blinking
orange rapidly and the device automatically
disables to prevent you from developing skin
reactions. This means that it does not emit pulses
when you press the flash button.
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
on/off button one or more times until you have
reached the required setting. The
corresponding intensity light lights up green.
