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 Switch 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. The skin test should be
performed in all the areas you want to treat.
To place the attachment, simply snap it onto the light exit window.
To remove the attachment, pull it off the light exit window.
