Problem
The skin feels more
sensitive than usual
during treatment. I
experience discomfort
when I use the device.
There is no glass window
in my attachment.
The skin reaction after
treatment lasts longer
than usual.
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 treatment is still painful
at the lowest setting (➀).
This is normal.
You have used a light
intensity setting which is
too high for you.
Solution
Check if you have selected a comfortable 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 irritated (red or cut),
sunburned, tanned or fake-tanned skin.
Never use the device if you have infections,
eczema, burns, inflammation of hair follicles,
open lacerations, abrasions, herpes simplex (cold
sores), wounds or lesions and haematomas
(bruises) in the areas to be treated.
Never use the device on the following areas: on
moles, freckles, large veins, darker pigmented
areas, scars, skin anomalies without consulting
your doctor. Never use the device on warts,
tattoos or permanent make-up, around the eyes
and on or near the eyebrows, on the lips,
perineum, scalp, nipples, areolas, labia minora,
vagina, anus and the inside of the nostrils and
ears. Men must not use it on the face and neck
including all beard growing areas and whole
genital area. This can result in a burn and a
change in skin color, which makes it potentially
harder to identify skin-related diseases.
Lumea may not be suitable for your skin. Contact
the Consumer Care Center in your country, your
Philips dealer or a Philips service center.
No action required: there is no glass window in
the body and underarm attachments. Only the
face attachment has a red glass filter. The
precision and bikini attachments have a
transparent glass window.
Select a lower intensity next time (see 'Selecting
the light intensity').
