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, 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.
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
48 hours before tanning. Even after 48 hours, make sure that the treated
skin does not show any redness from the treatment anymore.In case
of exposing your skin to the sun (without tanning intentionally) in the
48 hours after treatment, use a sunblock SPF 50+ on the treated areas.
After this period, you can use a sunblock SPF 30+ for two weeks.After
tanning, wait at least 2 weeks before you use Lumea. Perform a skin test
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.
If you have used an artificial tanning lotion, wait until the artificial tan has
disappeared completely before you use the device.
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.
