No replacement parts needed, no hidden costs Philips Lumea is equipped with a high-performance lamp which does not require replacement. This lamp can generate over 100,000 flashes and should enable you to continuously maintain results for more than 5 years* while saving money on expensive replacement lamps. *Based on the average treatment times for each area and the recommended intensities for one user. How Philips’ Intense Pulsed Light technology works Hair growth Hair growth rates differ from person to person, depending on age, metabolism and other factors. However, everyone’s hair normally grows in 3 phases. 1 Growing phase (anagen phase) The hair grows actively from the root. In this phase the concentration of melanin is highest. Melanin is responsible for the pigmentation of the hair. -
Page 9: General Description
ENGLISH Optimal hair removal cannot be obtained with a single session, since only hairs in the growing phase are susceptible to treatment with light. During a treatment, hairs on the treated area are usually in different stages of the hair growth cycle. To effectively treat all hairs you have to repeat the treatment every two weeks for a few times. An integrated optical filter ensures that no UV light reaches the skin and guarantees that the appliance is safe for the skin.

Page 14: Setting The Light Intensity
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 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 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 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). -

Body hair colour: dark blond/light 1/2/3 brown/brown/ dark brown/black white/grey/red/ light blond Important To check whether Philips Lumea is suitable for you, see section ‘For whom is Philips Lumea not suitable?’. If your skin has been exposed to natural sunlight or an artificial tanning method, it may be darker than during the previous treatment.

Tanning advice Sun exposure before treatment If your skin is tanned, perform a skin test (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘First use’) on the area to be treated to determine the appropriate light intensity.

Men who wish to treat their pubic area must not use the appliance on the scrotum. -
Page 21: Maintenance Phase
ENGLISH Please read section ‘Maintenance phase’ to find out how you can keep these results. Maintenance phase To ensure that your skin stays smooth, we advise you to repeat the treatment every 4 to 8 weeks. The time between treatments may vary based on your individual hair regrowth and also across different body areas. If too many hairs grow back between treatments, simply shorten the treatment interval again, but do not treat any area more often than once every two weeks. When you use the appliance more frequently than recommended, you do not increase the effectiveness but you do increase the risk of skin reactions. Possible side effects and skin reactions Common skin reactions: Your skin may show slight redness and/or may prickle, tingle or feel warm. -
