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 an 8-week
treatment schedule followed by touch-ups to make sure all hairs are
effectively treated in the growing phase.
Note: Treatment with Lumea is not effective if you have blond or light blond
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.
After the first treatment, it can take 1 to 2 weeks for the hairs to fall out. In
the first weeks following the initial treatments, you still see some hairs
growing. These are likely to be hairs that were not in their growing phase
during the first treatments.
After 2-3 treatments, you should see a noticeable reduction in hair growth.
However, to effectively treat all hairs, it is important to keep on treating
according to the recommended treatment schedule.
After 4-5 treatments, you should see a significant reduction of hair growth in
the areas that you treated with Lumea. A reduction of hair density should be
visible as well. Keep on treating with frequent touch-ups (every 4-8
weeks) to maintain the result.
