How Ipl Works - Philips Lumea IPL 9000 Series Manual

How IPL works

1
-
Do not use your Lumea within 2 weeks after using artificial tanning products
(such as creams, sprays or pills). Artificially tanned skin is more likely to result
in burns or pigmentation changes. Read the instructions in chapter 'Using
your Lumea before and after sun exposure or tanning' to learn how to use
your Lumea safely.
-
If you notice a skin tone change since the last treatment, we advise you to
perform a skin test and to wait 24 hours before your next treatment. If after
this period skin reactions occur or persist, use a lower device setting which
did not lead to skin reactions or stop using the device when already at the
lowest setting (➀).
-
Always check the device before you use it. Make sure that the SmartSkin
sensor window is clean when using the device, to avoid improper operation
(see 'D Clean & store after treatment').
-
The light exit window and the inner parts of the attachment can become
very hot (>210 °C) during usage. Always let the light exit window, as well as
the inner parts of the attachment, cool down before you touch them.
-
This device has a detachable power supply unit. Only use the adapter
provided with this device. Do not use an extension cord. The reference
number (AD2069x20020HF) can be found on your device. The 'x' in this
number refers to the plug type for your country.
-
Never leave the device unattended when it is plugged in.
-
Always unplug the product when it is fully charged.
-
Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or to high temperatures (near
hot stoves, in microwave ovens or on induction cookers). Batteries may
explode if overheated.
-
If the battery is damaged or leaking, avoid contact with skin or eyes. If this
occurs, immediately rinse well with water and seek medical attention.
-
If the device behaves in a different way during your normal routine (e.g.
abnormal smell or vibrations, longer charging time) stop using and charging
your device and contact customer support for help.
-
Follow the recommended treatment schedule. Increasing the frequency,
especially in the initial phase, can increase the risk of skin reactions.
With Intense Pulsed Light technology, gentle pulses of light are applied to the
skin and absorbed by the hair root. The lighter the skin and the darker the hair,
the better the pulses of light are absorbed.
