3 Check the appliance, especially the light exit window and attachment,
for trapped hair, dust and fibres. If you see any contamination, clean
the appliance according to the instructions in chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance'.
Notes:
- If shaving causes wounds or lesions, your skin may be more sensitive
and the light treatment may sometimes feel uncomfortable.
- Once the hairs stop growing back, which usually happens after 4-5
treatments, you no longer have to shave before you use the appliance.

Setting the light intensity

Philips Lumea Precision is an appliance developed for consumer use
at home and therefore not comparable with professional light-based
appliances with respect to pain sensation. The pulses of light delivered by
Philips Lumea Precision are gentler than those from professional appliances
and therefore you can expect a convenient and effective treatment.
You have to adjust the light intensity to your skin and body hair colour and
to a level you find comfortable.
The recommended light intensities table below helps you to establish the
right light intensity.
1 Consult the table below to determine which light intensities are
most suitable for your skin and body hair colour and to check if this
method is suitable for you (if it is not, this is indicated with x in the
table).
2 Each body area and possibly even parts of a body area may require a
separate appropriate light intensity according to the recommended
light intensities table below. The method is more effective at higher
intensities, but you should reduce the light intensity if you experience
any pain or discomfort.
Persons with darker skin run a higher risk of skin irritation because their
skin absorbs more light. Therefore lower intensities are recommended
for persons with darker skin.
The light pulse can feel warm or hot on the skin but should never be
painful. To prevent skin reactions, see chapter 'Using the appliance',
section 'Possible side effects and skin reactions'.
