Preparing for use

For optimal results and greatest effect, prepare the areas on which
you intend to use the appliance in the manner described below.

Preparing treatment areas

1 Shave the areas you intend to treat as long as you still experience
hair regrowth.
Note: If your last depilation method involved removing hairs by the roots
(e.g epilating, waxing etc.), wait until you notice significant hair regrowth
before you use Philips Lumea. Do not use depilatory creams instead of shaving.
Please note that treatment on unshaved or improperly shaved
areas has a number of undesired effects:
- The light exit window and attachment may become contaminated with
stray hairs and dirt. A contaminated light exit window and attachment
can reduce the life and efficacy of the appliance. In addition, burns or
black spots that appear on the light exit window and attachments due
to contamination can cause the treatment to become painful or cause
skin reactions like redness and discolouration.
- Hairs on your skin can burn, which can result in an unpleasant smell.
2 Clean your skin and make sure it is hair-free, entirely dry and
free from oily substances (e.g. present in cosmetic products like
deodorants, lotions, perfumes, tanning creams and sunscreens).
