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 appliance is not
suitable for skin colour
The device is not suitable for
your skin.
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.
You do not use the appliance
as often as recommended.
You respond more slowly to
IPL treatment.
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
Care Center in your country, your Philips
dealer or a Philips service center.
Never use the device on the following
areas:the face, inner labia, anus, nipples,
areolas, lips, inside the nostrils and ears,
around the eyes and near the eyebrows.
Men must not use it on the face, neck or
on the scrotum.
Do not use the device if you have skin
type VI or V, a brownish black or darker
skin tone.
Select a lower intensity next
time. See chapter 'Using your Philips
Lumea', section 'Selecting the right light
intensity'.
Select a higher setting next time.
You have to release the flashes close to
each other.
If you have light blond, blond, or red hair,
the treatment is not effective.
To remove all hairs successfully, we
advice you to follow the recommended
treatment schedule. You can reduce the
time between treatments, but do not
treat more often than once every two
weeks.
Continue using the device for at least 6
months, as hair regrowth can still
decrease over the course of this period.
The body attachment does not contain a
glass/filter/window.
