- Before you use Lumea, you should clean your skin and make sure
it is hair-free, entirely dry and free from oily substances.
- Do not treat the same skin area more than once during a session.
This does not improve the effectiveness of the treatment, but
increases the risk of skin reactions.
- Lumea should never be painful. If you experience discomfort,
reduce the light intensity setting.

How IPL works

This Philips device complies with all applicable standards and regulations
regarding exposure to electromagnetic fields.
With IPL technology, gentle pulses of light are applied to the skin and
absorbed by the hair root. The darker the hair, the better the pulses of light
are absorbed.
The pulses of light stimulate the hair follicle to go into a resting phase. As a
consequence, the hair sheds naturally and hair regrowth is prevented.
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.
