Electromagnetic elds (EMF)

This Philips device complies with all applicable standards and regulations

regarding exposure to electromagnetic elds.

How IPL works

With Intense Pulsed Light technology, gentle pulses of light are applied to

the skin and absorbed by the hair root. The lighter the skin and 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.

14

English

The cycle of hair growth consists of dierent phases. IPL technology is

only eective 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 you to follow

the initial treatment phase (4-5 treatments, every treatment 2 weeks apart)

and then the follow-up treatment phase (touch-ups every 4-8 weeks) to

make sure all hairs are eectively treated in the growing phase.

Tip: To assure long lasting hair removal, touch-ups every 4 weeks are

recommended.

Note: Treatment with Lumea is not eective 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 eective.

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.

Recommended treatment schedule

Initial phase

For the rst 4 to 5 treatments, we advise you to use Lumea Prestige once

every two weeks to ensure that all hairs are treated.

Note: Replacing one of the IPL treatments with another hair removal method

(waxing, epilating, etc.) will not help to reach the desired hair reduction.

Note: If you want to remove hairs in between the Lumea treatments, you

can use your normal hair removal method.

Touch-up phase

After the initial treatment phase (4-5 treatments), we recommend touch-ups

every 4-8 weeks, when you see hairs growing back. This to maintain results

and enjoy smooth skin for months. The time between treatments may vary

based on your individual hair regrowth and also across dierent body areas.

Tip: You can write the treatment schedule in your agenda to remind yourself

of the treatments so you will not forget.

Note: Using the device more often does not enhance the eectiveness.

What to expect

After initial treatment phase

- After the rst treatment, it can take 1 to 2 weeks for the hairs to fall out.

In the rst 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 rst treatments.

- After 2-3 treatments, you should see a noticeable reduction in hair

growth. However, to eectively treat all hairs, it is important to keep on

treating according to the recommended treatment schedule.

- After 4-5 treatments, you should see a signicant reduction of hair

growth in the areas that you treated with Lumea. A reduction of hair

density should be visible as well.

During touch-up treatment phase

- Keep on treating with frequent touch-ups (every 4-8 weeks) to maintain

the result.

Using your Lumea Prestige before and after

tanning

Tanning with natural or articial sunlight

Intentionally exposing your skin to natural or articial sunlight with the

aim of developing a tan inuences the sensitivity and color of your skin.

Therefore the following is important:

- After each treatment, wait at least 48 hours before tanning. Even after 48

hours, make sure that the treated skin does not show any redness from

the treatment anymore.

- In case of exposing your skin to the sun (without tanning intentionally)

in the 48 hours after treatment, use a sunblock SPF 50+ on the treated

areas. After this period, you can use a sunblock SPF 30+ for two weeks.

- After tanning, wait at least 2 weeks before you use Lumea.

- After recent tanning, perform a skin test to determine the appropriate

light intensity setting. For instructions see chapter 'Skin test'.

- Do not use Lumea on sunburned body areas.

Note: Occasional and indirect sun exposure does not qualify as tanning.

Tanning with creams

If you have used an articial tanning lotion, wait until the articial tan has

disappeared completely before you use the device.

17

English

Before you use your Lumea Prestige

Pretreating your skin

Before you use Lumea, you should pretreat your skin by removing hairs

on the surface of your skin. This allows the light to be absorbed by the hair

parts below the skin surface to ensure eective treatment. You can either

shave, short-trim, epilate or wax. Do not use depilatory creams, as chemicals

may cause skin reactions.

If you choose to wax, please wait 24 hours before using Lumea to let your

skin rest. We recommend that you take a shower before the treatment to

ensure that all possible residue of wax has been removed from your skin.

1 Pretreat the areas you intend to treat with Lumea.

2 Clean your skin and make sure it is hair-free, entirely dry and free from

oily substances.

Note: if shaving causes skin irritation, we advise you not to use the device

until skin irritation is resolved.

Skin test

When you use Lumea Prestige for the rst time or after recent tanning,

perform a skin test on each area to be treated. The skin test is necessary to

check your skin's reaction to the treatment and to determine the correct light

intensity setting for each body area.

1 Attach the right attachment for the area you want to treat. See chapter:

'Attachments'.

Note: do not try the device on dicult or sensitive areas (ankle and bony

area).

2 Turn on the device. Make sure you select setting 1.

3 Place the device at a 90° angle on the skin so that the integrated safety

system is in contact with your skin.

The integrated safety system prevents unintentional ashing without skin

contact.

4 Press the ash button to release a ash.

5 Slide the device over the skin to the next area to be treated.

6 Increase the setting by one level, apply a ash and slide the device to

the next area. Repeat this for all levels within the recommended range

for your skin type. See the table in: 'Selecting the right light intensity'.

7 After the skin test, wait 24 hours and check your skin for any reaction. If

your skin shows reactions, choose the highest setting that did not result

in any skin reaction for subsequent use.

18

English

Using your Lumea Prestige

Skin tone sensor

For extra safety, the Lumea Prestige has integrated skin tone sensor which

measures the skin tone at the beginning of each session and occasionally

during the session. If it detects a skin tone that is too dark for treatment

with Lumea, the 'ready to ash' light starts blinking orange and the device

automatically disables to prevent you from developing skin reactions. This

means that it does not ash when you press the ash button.

Attachments

For optimal results and safety it is important to change attachments per

body area. Lumea Prestige oers full body specic treatment having up to

four dierent tailored attachments.

Note: The device might not work any more and show an error when there is

dirt on the attachment connector. Clean the contact leads when this occurs.

To place the attachment, simply snap it onto the light exit window.

To remove the attachment, pull it o the light exit window.

Body Attachment

The body attachment has the largest treatment window and a curved-in

design to cover eectively and treat areas below the neckline. Especially

large areas such as legs, arms and stomach.

Facial Attachment

The facial attachment has a precise at design with extra integrated lter

for safe and precise treatment on the sensitive skin on upper lip, chin and

sideburns.

Caution:

- Do not treat your eyebrows with Lumea.

- When you treat the area above your upper lip, be careful that you do not

ash on the lip.

19

English

Armpit attachment (BRI956, BRI959)

The armpit attachment has a specically curved-out design to treat hard to

reach armpit hairs.

Bikini attachment (BRI956, BRI959)

The bikini attachment has a specialized design for eective treatment of

bikini areas. It has curved out design with transparent bikini lter. Hair in this

area tends to be typically thicker and stronger then leg hair, therefore the

bikini area attachment has a special lter for treating the coarser hair in the

bikini area.

Precision attachment (BRI953, BRI954)

The precision attachment is curved-out for use in bikini and armpit areas. It

has a medium sized window with an extra transparent lter. It is designed for

precise and eective coverage of bikini and armpit areas.
