4 Place the device at a 90° angle on the skin so that the integrated safety
system is in contact with your skin.
The integrated safety system prevents unintentional flashing without skin
contact.
5 Press the device firmly onto your skin to ensure proper skin contact. The
'ready to flash light' on the back of the device lights up white to indicate
that you can proceed with the treatment.
Note: When the 'ready to flash' light starts blinking orange, your skin is
not suitable for treatment. In this case, the device automatically disables.
You can try to use the device on other areas with a lighter skin tone.
Note: If the ' ready to flash' light does not light up white, the device is not
completely in contact with your skin.
TIP: If you use Lumea on your bikini area and want to leave some hair in
place, make sure that the skin tone sensor is not placed on the remaining
hair during the treatment, as this can cause the device to block.
6 Press the flash button to release a flash. The devices makes a soft
popping sound. You should feel a warm sensation because of the flash.
Note: The scattered light produced by the device is harmless to your
eyes. Do not look at the flash while using the device. It is not necessary to
wear goggles during use. Use the device in a well-lit room so that the
light is less glaring to your eyes.
7 Place the device on the next area to be treated. After each flash, it takes
up to 2 seconds until the device is ready to flash again. You can release a
flash when the 'ready to flash' light lights up white.
8 To make sure that you have treated all areas, release the flashes close to
each other. Effective light only comes out of the light exit window. Part of
the device that is in contact with your skin is slightly larger therefore there
should be some overlap. However, make sure you flash the same area
only once.
Note: Flashing the same area twice does not improve the effectiveness of
the treatment, but increases the risk of skin reactions.
Note: Do not use any pencil or pen to mark the areas to be treated, as
this may cause side effects to your skin.
9 When you have finished the treatment, press and hold the on/off button
to switch off the device. Remove the adapter from the wall socket if you
used the device corded.
Note: If you did not use the device for a long period of time, it is important to
perform a skin test again and have it charged to avoid deep discharge.
