Selecting the light intensity

1 The SmartSkin sensor prevents you to treat areas of your skin that are
too dark: if it detects a skin tone that is too dark for treatment with
Lumea Prestige, the 'READY to flash' light starts blinking orange. It does
not flash when you press the flash button. The device automatically
disables. This prevents you from developing skin reactions.
2 The SmartSkin sensor will help you to select the light intensity setting
that is comfortable for your skin. For this you can use the SmartSkin
button.
Lumea Prestige provides 5 different light intensities, you will always be able
to change to a light intensity setting you find comfortable.
1 Press the on/off button to turn on the device. The device starts to
operate at light intensity setting 1.
Note: To adjust the light intensity setting manually without using the
SmartSkin button, use the toggle button until you have reached the
required setting. The corresponding intensity light level lights up white.
2 Press the SmartSkin button
3 After the device has scanned your skin, the light intensity indicators will
blink white to indicate which intensities are most comfortable based on
your skin tone.
4 Press the confirmation button
indicated setting.
Lumea Prestige automatically uses the highest indicated intensity, which
is shown by a blinking intensity indicator.
Lumea Prestige gives you the freedom to select the light intensity that
you find most comfortable. Skin sensitivity can differ per person.
Therefore, the skin test is the most important guide for selecting your
light intensity setting (see 'B Test skin 24 hrs before treatment').
5 Using Lumea Prestige should never be uncomfortably painful. If you
experience discomfort, reduce the light intensity setting. You can do this
by using the toggle buttons.
Note: The device is automatically disabled when your skin tone is too
dark (brownish black or darker), to prevent you from developing skin
reactions. The 'READY to flash' light will blink orange to indicate if the skin
tone is too dark.
6 After moving to another body area or after recent tanning (see 'Using
your Lumea Prestige before and after tanning'), perform a skin test to
determine a comfortable light intensity setting. To re-activate the setting
indication feature, press the SmartSkin button.
Note: Perform a skin test before you start to treat another body area or
after a skin tone change. Determine the light intensity setting for each
body area separately.
