Skin test
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 Turn 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.
