The cycle of hair growth consists of different phases. IPL technology is only
effective when the hair is in its growing phase. Not all hairs are in the
growing phase at the same time. This is why we recommend you to follow
the initial treatment phase (4-5 treatments, every treatment 2 weeks apart)
and then the follow-up treatment phase (touch-ups every 4-8 weeks) to
make sure all hairs are effectively treated in the growing phase.
Tip: To assure long lasting hair removal, touch-ups every 4 weeks are
recommended.
Note: Treatment with Lumea is not effective if you have light blond, grey, red
or white hairs as light hairs do not absorb enough light. Below you can see
the hair colors for which Lumea is suitable and effective.
Note: To check if your body hair color allows usage of the device, consult the
hair color table with number 3 on the foldout page.
For the first 4 to 5 treatments, we advise you to use Lumea Prestige once
every two weeks to ensure that all hairs are treated.
Note: Replacing one of the IPL treatments with another hair removal
method (waxing, epilating, etc.) will not help to reach the desired hair
reduction.
Note: If you want to remove hairs in between the Lumea treatments, you
can use your normal hair removal method.
After the initial treatment phase (4-5 treatments), we recommend touch-ups
every 4-8 weeks, when you see hairs growing back. This to maintain results
and enjoy smooth skin for months. The time between treatments may vary
based on your individual hair regrowth and also across different body areas.
Tip: You can write the treatment schedule in your agenda to remind yourself
of the treatments so you will not forget.
Note: Using the device more often does not enhance the effectiveness.
