Tanning with artificial light
- Follow the instructions in ‘Sun exposure before treatment’ and ‘Sun
exposure after treatment’ above.
Tanning with creams
- If you have used an artificial tanning lotion, wait until the artificial tan
has fully disappeared before you use Philips Lumea.
Note: For more details on unwanted skin reactions, see chapter ‘Using the
appliance’, section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.
Using the appliance
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to determine which light intensities
are most suitable for your skin and body hair colour. Use the appliance in
a
well-lit
room; this reduces the perceived brightness of the flash. Shave
the area you intend to treat before you use the appliance (see chapter
‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Preparing treatment areas’).
If the treatment becomes intolerably painful at any point in time, reduce
the light intensity setting until the treatment is comfortable again. If you
notice skin reactions stronger than slight redness, stop the treatment
immediately and read section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’ in
this chapter.
First use and skin test
1
Attach the body attachment to the appliance.
The body attachment can be used to treat unwanted body hair on all
body areas below the neck (for exceptions, see chapter ‘Important’, section
‘Contraindications’).
2
Choose an area close to the area you intend to treat.
3
Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
,
The appliance always starts automatically at the lowest setting.
4
Apply one flash at the lowest recommended intensity for your skin
type (for instructions on how to release a flash, see steps 6 to
9 of section ‘Subsequent use’ in this chapter).
5
As long as it feels comfortable (not painful), increase the setting by
one level within the recommended range for your skin type and
apply one flash for each setting. Do not apply more than one flash on
the same spot.
