Skin test
Using your Philips Lumea
Placing and removing
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.
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 Turn 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.
To place the attachment, simply snap it onto the light exit window.
