Preparing treatment areas
1 Shave the areas you intend to treat as long as these areas still show
hair regrowth.
Note: Do not use depilatory creams instead of shaving.
Note: If your last depilation method involved removing hairs by the roots
(e.g epilating), you can start the treatment right away. In this case, we advise
you to shave in between treatments for optimal results.
Please note that treatment on unshaved or improperly shaved
areas has a number of undesired effects:
- The light exit window and attachments may become
contaminated with stray hairs and dirt. A contaminated light exit
window and contaminated attachments can reduce the lifetime and
efcacy of the appliance. Contamination of the light exit window can
also 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. residues of deodorants, lotions, perfumes,
tanning creams and sunscreens).
3 Check the appliance, especially the light exit window
and attachments, for trapped hair, dust and bres. If you see any
contamination, clean the appliance according to the instructions in
chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.
If shaving causes wounds or lesions, your skin may be more sensitive
to IPL than that of others. This may cause the IPL treatment to feel
uncomfortable or it may lead to other unwanted side effects. We advise
you to wait until the irritation has disappeared.
4 Once the hairs stop growing back, which usually happens after
4-5 treatments, you no longer have to shave before you use the
appliance.
Light intensity
Unlike professional light-based appliances, Philips Lumea Essential has been
developed for consumer use and its light pulses are gentler. Therefore you
can expect a convenient and effective treatment at a light intensity that
you nd comfortable.
Philips Lumea Essential provides ve different light intensities. Adjust the
light intensity to the tone of your skin, the colour of your body hair and
facial hair and to a level you nd comfortable. The recommended light
intensities table below helps you to establish the right light intensity.
Note: The appliance is automatically disabled when your skin is too dark, to
prevent you from developing skin reactions. However, the integrated skin tone
sensor does not tell you which light intensity setting to use, as preferences
differ strongly from person to person. Philips Lumea Essential gives you the
freedom to select the light intensity that you nd most convenient, as long as
the appliance is suitable for your skin tone. To establish the right light intensity
for use on your skin, see the recommended light intensities table below and on
the quick start guide.
