Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benefit
from the support that Philips offers, register your product at www.philips.
com/lumea.
Light-based hair removal is one of the most effective methods to
treat unwanted body hair with longer-lasting results. It is different from
current home hair removal methods because it significantly reduces
hair regrowth. Philips has been investigating this method together with
leading dermatologists for over 10 years. You can now use this innovative
technology comfortably in the privacy of your own home, whenever and
wherever you want.
This appliance has been specifically designed and optimised for use by
women, but can be used by men as well.
Philips Lumea Precision enables treatment of unwanted hair on the whole
body, including the face (upper lip, chin and sideburns), using two tailored
attachments.
Philips Lumea Precision is designed for use by one person only.
For more information about Philips Lumea Precision, see www.philips.
com/lumea. Check our homepage regularly for updates.
Benefits
This appliance provides the following benefits:
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology for home use
Philips Lumea Precision uses a light-based technology called ‘Intense
Pulsed Light’ (IPL). IPL is also used in the professional beauty market for
hair removal and has been in use for the last fifteen years. Philips Lumea
Precision now brings this innovative technology to the comfort of your
home.
Effective hair regrowth prevention for everyday smoothness
This method provides you with long-lasting hair regrowth prevention and
silky-smooth skin. Our studies have shown a significant hair reduction
already after two treatments. Optimal results were generally achieved after
four to five treatments. A reduction in hair density is visible from treatment
to treatment. How fast the effect becomes visible and how long the results
last varies from person to person. For more information, see section ‘How
to achieve optimal results’ in chapter ‘Using the appliance’.
ENGLISH 7
Gentle treatment, even on sensitive body areas
Philips Lumea Precision has been developed in close cooperation with
leading dermatologists for an effective and gentle treatment, even on the
most sensitive body areas and the face.
Cordless operation for maximum freedom and flexibility
Because the appliance runs on rechargeable batteries, it is portable and can
be used anywhere.
Lamp does not require replacement
Philips Lumea Precision is equipped with a high-performance lamp which
does not require replacement. This lamp can generate over 80,000 flashes
and should enable you to continuously maintain results for more than 5
years* while saving money on expensive replacement lamps.
*Based on average usage scenario and recommended treatment regime for
one user.
How Philips’ Intense Pulsed Light technology works
Hair growth
Hair growth rates differ from person to person, depending on age,
metabolism and other factors. However, everyone’s hair normally grows in
3 phases.
1 Growing phase (anagen phase)
The hair grows actively from the root. In this phase the concentration of
melanin is highest. Melanin is responsible for the pigmentation of the hair.
Melanin concentration is also the determining factor for the efficacy of this
method. Only hairs in the growing phase are susceptible to treatment with
light.
2 Degradation phase (catagen phase)
Hair growth stops and the root shrinks before the hair sheds.
3 Resting phase (telogen phase)
The old hair separates from its hair follicle and sheds. The follicle remains
at rest until the biological clock tells it to become active again and grow a
new hair.
Working principle
The appliance works by heating up the hair and root beneath the skin.
The melanin in the hair and hair root absorbs the released light pulses. The
darker the colour of the hair, the more light can be absorbed. This process
stimulates the hair to go into the resting phase.
The hair now sheds naturally and the hair growth is inhibited. Hairs can
take one or two weeks to shed. Optimal hair removal cannot be obtained
with a single session, since only hairs in the growing phase are susceptible
to treatment with light. During a treatment, hairs on the treated area are
usually in different stages of the hair growth cycle. To effectively treat all
hairs you have to repeat the treatment every two weeks for a few times.
An integrated optical filter ensures that no UV light reaches the skin
and guarantees that the appliance is safe for the skin.

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 Precision. 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).
ENGLISH 13
3 Check the appliance, especially the light exit window and attachment,
for trapped hair, dust and fibres. If you see any contamination, clean
the appliance according to the instructions in chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’.
Notes:
- If shaving causes wounds or lesions, your skin may be more sensitive
and the light treatment may sometimes feel uncomfortable.
- Once the hairs stop growing back, which usually happens after 4-5
treatments, you no longer have to shave before you use the appliance.
Setting the light intensity
Philips Lumea Precision is an appliance developed for consumer use
at home and therefore not comparable with professional light-based
appliances with respect to pain sensation. The pulses of light delivered by
Philips Lumea Precision are gentler than those from professional appliances
and therefore you can expect a convenient and effective treatment.
You have to adjust the light intensity to your skin and body hair colour and
to a level you find comfortable.
The recommended light intensities table below helps you to establish the
right light intensity.
1 Consult the table below to determine which light intensities are
most suitable for your skin and body hair colour and to check if this
method is suitable for you (if it is not, this is indicated with x in the
table).
2 Each body area and possibly even parts of a body area may require a
separate appropriate light intensity according to the recommended
light intensities table below. The method is more effective at higher
intensities, but you should reduce the light intensity if you experience
any pain or discomfort.
Persons with darker skin run a higher risk of skin irritation because their
skin absorbs more light. Therefore lower intensities are recommended
for persons with darker skin.
The light pulse can feel warm or hot on the skin but should never be
painful. To prevent skin reactions, see chapter ‘Using the appliance’,
section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.

Important
To check whether Philips Lumea Precision is suitable for you, see section
‘For whom is Philips Lumea Precision not suitable?’.
If your skin has been exposed to natural sunlight or an artificial tanning
method, it may be darker than during the previous treatment. Check the
table above to determine which settings are suitable for your skin colour.
Tanning advice
Sun exposure before treatment
- Wait at least 48 hours after sunbathing before you use the appliance.
Sunbathing can cause skin to darken (tan) and/or can cause sunburn
(reddening of the skin).
- After these 48 hours, check the skin for any remaining sunburn. Do not
use Philips Lumea Precision as long as sunburn persists.
- When the sunburn has disappeared, perform a skin test (see chapter
‘Using the appliance’, section ‘First use’) on the area to be treated to
determine the appropriate light intensity.
- If your skin is tanned, perform a skin test (see chapter ‘Using the
appliance’, section ‘First use’) on the area to be treated to determine
the appropriate light intensity. A failure to do so causes a risk of
developing skin reactions after treatment with Philips Lumea Precision.
Sun exposure after treatment
- Wait at least 24 hours after treatment before you expose treated
areas to the sun. Even after 24 hours, make sure that the treated skin
does not show any redness from the treatment anymore before you
expose it to the sun.
- Cover treated areas when you go out into the sun or use a sunblock
(SPF 30+) in the two weeks after treatment.
- Exposing treated areas to sunlight without protection immediately
after treatment can increase the risk of adverse side effects and skin
reactions. See chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘Possible side effects
and skin reactions’.
ENGLISH 15
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 Precision.
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.
Choosing the right attachment
- Body attachment
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’).The body attachment can cover an area of 3cm and is
ideal to treat large areas efficiently.
Do not use the body attachment on the face.
- Precision attachment
The precision attachment includes an extra integrated light filter and can
be used to treat unwanted facial hair on the upper lip, chin and sideburns. It
may also be used on other sensitive areas on the body, such as underarms
and bikini area or hard-to-reach areas.
Never use around the eyes and near the eyebrows.
First use and skin test
1 Choose the attachment appropriate for the area you intend to treat.
2 Choose an area close to the area you intend to treat.
ENGLISH16
Note: Before you use the appliance on the upper lip, chin or sideburns, choose
a mole- and hair-free area below your ear to perform the skin test.
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.
6 After the skin test, wait for 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.
When you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to perform
a skin test on the area to be treated to check your skin’s reaction to the
treatment and to get accustomed to light-based treatment.
Subsequent use
1 Before every treatment, clean the attachments, the light exit
window and the metallic frame inside the attachments of Philips
Lumea Precision. For more information see chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’.
2 Choose the attachment appropriate for the area you intend to treat.
3 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
Note: It is normal that the appliance and the attachment become warm during
use.
ENGLISH 17
4 Start each treatment by selecting the light intensity very carefully,
based on your skin’s sensitivity and on how comfortable treatment
feels.
Your skin may react differently on different days/occasions for a number of
reasons. See section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’ in this chapter
for more information.
5 Press the % button to increase the intensity. To lower the intensity,
press the ^button.
, Every time you press the button, the corresponding intensity
light starts to flash. This takes a few seconds.
6 Place the appliance in a 90° angle on the skin so that the attachment
and the safety ring are in contact with the skin.
7 Press the safety ring fully onto the skin with slight pressure.
Note: The safety ring has contact switches that together are the safety system
of the appliance. This safety ring prevents unintentional flashing without skin
contact.
, The ‘ready to flash’ light on the back of the appliance lights up green
when all contact switches of the safety ring are in contact with the
skin and the device is charged. This may take up to 3.5 seconds.
Tip: For easier use, stretch the area of skin you want to treat. On areas with
softer skin, you may need to exert more pressure on the appliance to push in
all contact switches.
ENGLISH18
8 Press the flash button to release a flash.
Note: The visible light produced by the appliance is the reflection of the flash
on the skin and is harmless to your eyes. It is not necessary to wear goggles
during use.
9 Let go of the flash button after the appliance has flashed.
10 For the next flash, repeat steps 6 to 9. After each flash it takes up to
3.5 seconds until the appliance is ready to flash again.
Do not treat exactly the same area multiple times during one session.
This does not improve the effectiveness of the treatment, but increases
the risk of skin reactions.
11 To avoid untreated areas, always make sure there is some overlap
with the previously treated area when you place the appliance on the
skin.The effective light only comes out of the light exit window. Make
sure the flashes are produced close to each other.
12 Switch off the appliance after you have finished the treatment.
13 Check the light exit window and the attachment for hairs and
dirt and clean the appliance after use (see chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’).
Guidelines for treatment
Average treatment time
Area Approx. treatment time Recommended attachment
Underarms 1.5 minutes per underarm Body/Precision attachment
Bikini line 1.5 minutes per side Body/Precision attachment
Entire bikini area 5 minutes Body/Precision attachment
One lower leg 12 minutes Body attachment
One full leg 20 minutes Body attachment
Upper lip/ chin/ sideburns 1 minute Precision attachment
Note: The average treatment times above have been observed during research
and tests. Individual treatment times may vary from person to person.
Note: Fully charged batteries offer at least 320 flashes at intensity 5. How long
you can use the appliance depends on the size of the area to be treated and
the intensity setting used.
Intended treatment areas
The appliance is intended to treat unwanted hairs from the upper lip, chin,
sideburns, underarms, arms, stomach, bikini area and legs.
Using the appliance on the legs
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for
your legs.
ENGLISH 19
- You can move the appliance up and down or across the leg, whichever
is more convenient to you.
Note: Bony areas like shinbone and ankles are more sensitive than other areas
of the body. When you press the attachment hard onto these areas, the skin
can be more susceptible to skin reactions, such as skin irritation and redness.
See section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’ in this chapter. Press the
attachment onto the skin just hard enough to make the ‘ready to flash’ light go
on, but not harder.
Tip: The appliance may leave imprints on the skin in the treated areas. These
imprints may show you where you can make the treated areas overlap.
If you use the appliance to treat both your lower and upper legs, you may
have to recharge the appliance during the treatment. This is normal. How
long you can use the appliance depends on the size of the treatment area
and the intensity setting used.
Tip: Many users combine leg treatments with other activities around the house
such as watching TV or listening to music. You can also try this to make the
experience more enjoyable and relaxing.
Using the appliance in the bikini area
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for
your bikini area.
In principle, Philips Lumea Precision is safe and gentle enough for treatment
of the entire bikini area (e.g. for ‘Brazilian’ or ‘Hollywood’ style). Use a lower
setting on darker pigmented, more sensitive skin in the bikini area. Do not
use the appliance on inner labia, vagina and anus. Men who wish to treat
their pubic area must not use the appliance on the scrotum.
Note: For hygienic reasons, always clean the attachment used before you start
treating another body area.
Using the appliance on the underarms
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for
your underarms.
Make sure you remove any deodorant, perfume, cream or other skin care
product from your underarms before treatment.
Tip: To achieve optimal results on your underarms, stand in front of a mirror to
get a good view of the area to be treated and the ‘ready to flash’ light. Raise
your arm and place your hand in your neck to stretch the skin in the underarm
area. In this way the safety ring can be pressed more easily onto the skin,
which makes the treatment easier to perform.
Note: The reflected light does not harm your eyes. If the scattered light is
unpleasant, close your eyes when you release a flash.
Using the appliance on the face (upper lip, chin, sideburns)
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for
your face (upper lip, chin, sideburns).
Always use only the precision attachment to treat the upper lip, chin
and sideburns. Never use the appliance around the eyes or near the
ENGLISH20
en ook per lichaamsdeel. Als tussen de behandelingen te veel haren
teruggroeien, verkort dan gewoon de tijd tussen de behandelingen.
Voer de behandeling echter niet vaker dan eens in de twee weken uit
op hetzelfde gebied. Wanneer u het apparaat vaker dan aanbevolen
gebruikt, neemt de doeltreffendheid niet toe, maar wel het risico van
huidreacties.
Mogelijke bijwerkingen en huidreacties
Vaak voorkomende huidreacties:
- Uw huid kan enige roodheid vertonen en/of kan prikken, tintelen of
warm aanvoelen. Deze reactie is absoluut onschadelijk en verdwijnt snel.
- Gedurende korte tijd kan een reactie vergelijkbaar met zonnebrand
optreden op het behandelde gebied. Raadpleeg uw huisarts als de
irritatie na 3 dagen niet verdwenen is.
- De combinatie van scheren en lichtbehandeling kan een droge huid
en jeuk veroorzaken. Dit is een onschadelijke reactie die binnen enkele
dagen verdwijnt. U kunt ter verkoeling een ijscompres of een nat
washandje op het gebied leggen. Als de huid droog blijft, kunt u 24 uur
na de behandeling een geurloze vochtinbrengende crème aanbrengen
op het behandelde gebied.
Zeldzame bijwerkingen:
- Verbranding, overmatige roodheid en zwelling: deze reacties zijn
zeer zeldzaam. Ze zijn het gevolg van het gebruik van een te hoge
lichtintensiteit voor uw huidskleur. Raadpleeg uw huisarts als deze
reacties niet binnen 3 dagen verdwijnen. Wacht met de volgende
behandeling tot de huid volledig is hersteld en gebruik een lagere
lichtintensiteit.
- Huidverkleuring: dit komt zelden voor. Huidverkleuring is zichtbaar
als een vlek die donkerder of lichter is dan de huid er om heen. Dit
is het gevolg van het gebruik van een lichtintensiteit die te hoog is
voor uw huidskleur. Raadpleeg uw huisarts als de verkleuring niet
binnen 2 weken verdwijnt. Behandel de verkleurde gebieden niet
tot de verkleuring is verdwenen en uw huid zijn normale kleur heeft
teruggekregen.
- Huidinfectie en ontsteking: dit komt zeer zelden voor en kan worden
veroorzaakt door gebruik van het apparaat op wondjes of sneetjes
die veroorzaakt zijn door scheren, op al bestaande wondjes of op
ingegroeide haren.
- Overmatige pijn: dit kan voorkomen tijdens of na de behandeling als
u het apparaat hebt gebruikt op ongeschoren huid, als u het apparaat
gebruikt op een te hoge lichtintensiteit voor uw huidskleur, als u
meerdere malen een flits afgeeft op hetzelfde gebied en als u het
apparaat gebruikt op open wonden, ontstekingen, infecties, tatoeages,
brandwonden, enz. Zie ‘Contra-indicaties’ in hoofdstuk ‘Belangrijk’ voor
meer informatie.
Na gebruik
- Gebruik geen geparfumeerde schoonheidsmiddelen op de behandelde
gebieden onmiddellijk na de behandeling.
- Gebruik geen deodorant onmiddellijk na behandeling van de oksels.
Wacht tot eventuele roodheid van de huid volledig is verdwenen.
- Raadpleeg ‘Bruiningsadvies’ in hoofdstuk ‘Klaarmaken voor gebruik’ voor
informatie over blootstelling aan de zon en kunstmatige bruining.
