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.
Intentionally exposing your skin to natural or artificial sunlight, with the aim
of developing a tan influences the sensitivity and color of your skin.
Therefore the following is important:
- After each treatment, wait at least 24 hours before tanning. Even after 24
hours, make sure that the treated skin does not show any redness from
the treatment anymore. Use a sunblock SPF 50+ on the treated areas in
the 48 hours after treatment when exposing your skin to the sun. After
this period, you can use your regular sunblock.
- After tanning, wait at least 48 hours before you use Lumea. Perform a
skin test 48 hours after tanning to determine the appropriate light
intensity setting.
- Do not use Lumea on sunburned body areas.
Note: Occasional and indirect sun exposure does not qualify as tanning.
