Problem
The skin feels more
sensitive than usual during
treatment/ I experience an
unacceptable pain
sensation when I use the
device.
The skin reaction after
treatment lasts longer than
usual.
The results of the
treatment are not
satisfactory.
My body attachment does
not have an integrated
glass/filter/window.
Possible cause
The light intensity setting you
use is too high.
You did not remove the hairs
on the areas to be treated.
The UV filter of the light exit
window is broken.
You treated an area for which
the device is not intended.
The device is not suitable for
your skin tone.
You have used a light
intensity setting which is too
high for you.
You have used a light
intensity setting which is too
low for you.
You did not flash an area
adjacent to an area you
treated before.
The device is not effective on
your body hair color.
This is normal.
Solution
Check if you have selected the right light
intensity setting. If necessary, select a
lower setting.
Pretreat your skin before you use Lumea.
If the UV filter is broken, do not use the
device anymore. Contact the Consumer

Select a higher setting next time.
You have to release the flashes close to
each other.
