- On irritated (red or cut), sunburned, recently

tanned or fake-tanned skin.

- On the following areas without consulting

Important

Danger

- Keep the device and the adapter dry.

- If the device is broken, do not touch any

inner part to avoid electric shock.

13

English

- Water and electricity are a dangerous

combination. Do not use this appliance in

wet surroundings (e.g. near a filled bath, a

running shower or a filled swimming pool).

Warning

- This device is not intended for use by

persons (including children) with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities,

unless they have been given supervision or

instruction concerning use of the device by

a person responsible for their safety.

- Children should be supervised to ensure

that they do not play with the device.

- The device is not intended for children

under the age of 15 years. Teenagers aged

between 15 and 18 years can use the device

with the consent and/or assistance of their

parents or the persons who have parental

authority over them. Adults of 18 years and

older can use the device freely.

- Always check the device before you use it.

Do not use the device or adapter if it is

damaged.

- Do not use the device if the UV filter of the

light exit window is broken.

14

English

- Do not modify or cut off any part of the

adapter or the cord, as this causes a

hazardous situation.

- Do not use any pencil or pen to mark the

areas to be treated. This may cause burns

on your skin.

- If you have a dark-colored skin, be careful

with treating a darker area immediately after

a lighter area. The skin tone sensor may not

immediately block the treatment on the

darker body area.

- Hair removal by intense pulsed light sources

can cause increased hair growth in some

individuals. Based upon currently available

data, the highest risk groups for this

response are females of Mediterranean,

Middle Eastern and South Asian heritage

treated on the face and neck.

- The light exit window can become very hot

after use. Do not touch the inner part of the

light exit window before it has cooled down.

Note: If you notice a skin tone has changed

since the last treatment (e.g. due to tanning),

we recommend that you perform a skin test

15

English

and to wait 30 minutes before your next

treatment.

To prevent damage

- Make sure that nothing obstructs the airflow

through the ventilation slots of the device.

- Never subject the device to heavy shocks

and do not shake or drop it.

- If you take the device from a very cold

environment to a very warm environment or

vice versa, wait approximately 3 hours

before you use it.

- Store the device in a dust free and dry

place.

- Do not expose the device to temperatures

lower than 5°C or higher than 35°C during

use.

- To prevent damage, do not expose the

device to direct sunlight or UV light for

several hours.

16

English

Caution

- This device is only intended for removing

unwanted body hair from areas below the

cheekbone. Do not use it for any other

purpose. Doing so may expose you to a

hazardous situation. Men must not use it on

the face and neck including all beard-

growing areas and the whole genital area.

- This device is not washable. Never immerse

the device in water and do not rinse it under

the tap.

- For hygienic reasons, the device should only

be used by one person.

- Use the device only at settings suitable for

your skin type. Use at higher settings than

those recommended can increase the risk of

skin reactions and side effects.

- Never use compressed air, scouring pads,

abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive

liquids such as petrol or acetone to clean

the device.

17

English

- The scattered light produced by the device

is harmless to your eyes. Do not look at the

flash while using the device. It is not

necessary to wear goggles during use. Use

the device in a well-lit room so that the light

is less glaring to your eyes.

- Always return the device to a service center

authorized by Philips for examination or

repair. Repair by unqualified people could

cause an extremely hazardous situation for

the user.

- Never leave the device unattended when it

is switched on. Always switch off the device

after use.

- Do not use the device if any of the

conditions mentioned in chapter ‘Who

should not use Lumea? Contraindication'

apply to you.

- Tanning with natural or artificial sunlight

might influence the sensitivity and color of

your skin. Perform a skin test to determine

the appropriate light intensity setting.

- Before you use Lumea, you should clean

your skin and make sure it is hair-free,

entirely dry and free from oily substances.

18

English

- Do not treat the same skin area more than

once during a session. This does not

improve the effectiveness of the treatment,

but increases the risk of skin reactions.

- Lumea should never be painful. If you

experience discomfort, reduce the light

intensity setting.

Electromagnetic fields (EMF)

This Philips device complies with all applicable

standards and regulations regarding exposure to

electromagnetic fields.

How Intense Pulsed Light- technology works

With IPL technology, gentle pulses of light are

applied to the skin and absorbed by the hair root.

The darker the hair, the better the pulses of light

are absorbed.

The pulses of light stimulate the hair follicle to go

into a resting phase. As a consequence, the hair

sheds naturally and hair regrowth is prevented,

leaving your skin continuously silky-smooth.

The cycle of hair growth consists of different

phases. IPL technology is only effective when the

hair is in its growing phase. Not all hairs are in the

growing phase at the same time. This is why we

recommend an 8-week treatment schedule

followed by touch-ups to make sure all hairs are

effectively treated in the growing phase.

19

English

Note: Treatment with Lumea is not effective if you

have light blond, grey, red or white hairs as light

hairs do not absorb enough light. Below you can

see the hair colors for which Lumea is suitable and

effective.

Suitable body hair colors

Note: To check if your body hair color allows usage

of the device, consult the hair color table with

number 3 on the foldout page.

What to expect

Immediately after the 1st treatment

After the first treatment, it can take 1 to 2 weeks for

the hairs to fall out. In the first weeks following the

initial treatments, you still see some hairs

growing. These are likely to be hairs that were not

in their growing phase during the first treatments.

After 2-3 treatments

After 2-3 treatments, you should see a noticeable

reduction in hair growth. However, to effectively

treat all hairs, it is important to keep on treating

according to the recommended treatment

schedule.

After 4-5 treatments

After 4-5 treatments, you should see a significant

reduction of hair growth in the areas that you

treated with Lumea. A reduction of hair density

should be visible as well. Keep on treating with

frequent touch-ups (every 4 weeks) to maintain

the result.
