with expert scientists and dermatologists, we adapted this light-based

technology, originally used in professional beauty salons, for easy and effective

use in the comfort of your home. Lumea is gentle and offers convenient and

effective treatment at a light intensity that you find comfortable. Unwanted hairs

are finally a thing of the past.

Lumea has been designed and developed for women, but may be suitable for

use by men.

-This device is not washable. Never immerse the device in water and do not

rinse it under the tap.

-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). Moisture can damage the device and lead to a potential

safety hazard.

-No modification of this equipment is allowed. Do not modify, override or cut

off any part of the device (e.g. adapter or the cord), as this causes a hazardous

situation.

10 English

-Do not attempt to open or repair your device. Opening Philips Lumea may

expose you to dangerous electrical components and to pulsed light energy,

either of which may cause bodily and/or eye injury.

-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.

-Always check the device before you use it. Do not use the device or adapter if

it is damaged. Always replace a damaged part with one of the original type.

-If the device or adapter is broken or damaged, do not touch any inner part to

avoid electric shock.

-Always check the device before you use it. Make sure that the skin tone

sensor window is clean when using the device, to avoid improper operation

(see 'D Clean & store after treatment').

-Do not use the device if the UV filter of the light exit window and/or

attachment is broken, as safe operation cannot be guaranteed under these

circumstances.

-The adapter, light exit window and the filter of the attachments can become

very hot (>210°C/>410°F) during usage. Always let the adapter, the light exit

window as well as the filter and inner parts of the attachments cool down

before you touch them.

-Do not look at the flash while using the device. Use the device in a well-lit

room so that the light is less glaring to your eyes. While not necessary for

safety, you may wear sunglasses or goggles for your convenience if you find

the light uncomfortable or too bright.

-Before you use Lumea, you should clean your skin and make sure it is hair-

free, entirely dry and free from any lotion or gel.

-Do not use hair removal creams in the area (to be) treated with the device, as

chemicals may cause skin reactions.

-Do not use any pencil or pen to mark the areas to be treated. This may cause

burns on your skin.

-Do not treat the same skin area more than once during a session. This may

increase the risk of skin reactions.

-If you experience skin irritation or skin redness after treatment, wait until it

disappears before applying any product to your skin. If you experience skin

irritation after applying a product to your skin, wash it off with water. If you

still get skin reactions, stop using the device and consult your doctor.

-If you notice a skin tone change since the last treatment, we advise you to

perform a skin test and to wait 24 hours before your next treatment.

-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.

-If shaving, epilating or waxing causes skin irritation, we advise you not to use

the device until skin irritation has disappeared.

-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.

-Follow the recommended treatment schedule. Increasing the frequency,

especially in the initial phase, can increase the risk of skin reactions.

How IPL works

1

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.

2

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.

3

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 you to follow the initial

treatment phase (4treatments, every treatment 2weeks apart) and then the

follow-up treatment phase (touch-ups every 4weeks) to make sure all hairs are

effectively treated in the growing phase.

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

recommended.

Suitable body hair colors

Treatment with Lumea is not effective if you have light blond, grey, red or white

hairs as hairs with these colors do not absorb enough light. To check if your body

hair color allows usage of the device, consult the hair color table on the foldout

page.

12 English

Recommended treatment schedule

Initial phase

To achieve effective hair reduction, follow the initial treatment schedule.

Initial treatment schedule

For the first 4 treatments, use Lumea once every two weeks to ensure that all

hairs are treated.

-Treat yourself within 3 days before or after the planned treatment date.

-If you have not treated yourself within 3 days before or after the planned

treatment date, restart the initial phase. Plan in 4 treatments, one treatment

every two weeks.

Note: If you do not restart the initial phase, you may not see effective hair

reduction.

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

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

If you want to remove hairs in between the Lumea treatments, you can use your

normal hair removal method (excluding hair removal creams).

Touch-up phase

After the initial phase (4 treatments), we recommend touch-ups every 4 weeks.

Touch-up treatment schedule

Treat yourself every 4 weeks. Repeat this 8 times to achieve effective hair

reduction. This is to maintain results and enjoy smooth skin for months.

-We advise you to treat yourself within 4 days before or after the planned

treatment date.

-The results may vary based on your individual hair regrowth and also across

different body areas.

-If you have completed the touch-up phase and you see the need to continue

treatment (hair starts coming back), we advise you to restart the initial phase.

Note: Using the device more often does not enhance the effectiveness.

Tip: Mark the treatment schedule on your calendar to remind yourself of the

planned treatments.

What to expect

After initial phase

-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, 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.

13

English

-After 4 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.

During touch-up phase

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

result.

How to use your Lumea

A Remove hair & clean your skin

1Remove hair before every treatment as long as hair is still visible. You can

either shave, epilate or wax. Make sure you start to treat before new hair is

visible on your skin. If you choose to wax, wait 24 hours before you use

Lumea.

2Clean and dry your skin. Make sure that it is free from any lotion or gel.

B Test skin 24 hours before treatment

1Test your skin to find the correct light setting:

-For every new body area.

-After recent tanning.

14 English

2Select the correct attachment to test your skin (see 'Attachments').

There is one for the body, face (below the cheekbone) and bikini area,

depending on the product version (see 'Attachments').

3Press the on/off button to turn on the device.

4Choose an area for your skin test.

5Press the device firmly onto your skin and hold it in place.

The integrated safety system prevents unintentional flashingwithout full skin

contact.

6Confirm that the 'READY to flash' light lights up white to ensure that there is

full contact with your skin.

-If the 'READY to flash' light is orange, your skin is too dark to treat. Try Lumea

on a lighter body area.

15

English

7Try each setting on your skin if comfortable:

-When the 'READY to flash' light is white, press the flash button on the handle

once, to treat one spot with setting ➀

The device makes a soft popping sound. The flash gives you a warm

sensation.

• You will see a flash of light •

Note: You can toggle through the light intensity settings by pressing the

on/off button (see 'Selecting the light intensity').

-Move to next area. Treat one spot with setting ➁

9Check your skin. The highest setting that...

-still felt comfortable and

-did not show a skin reaction (e.g. redness, irritation, rash)

... is the setting to start the treatment with.

16 English

C Treatment

IMPORTANT: First finish sections A (Remove hair & clean your skin) and B (Test

skin 24 hours before treatment).

1Connect the power adapter to the device and plug into a power outlet.

2Press the on/off button to turn on the device.

3Choose the setting you selected after the skin test (section B, step 9).

4Press the device firmly onto your skin and hold it in place. The 'READY to

flash' light should light up white.

5Press the flash button to release a flash on your skin. The flash treats the skin

in that spot. The device makes a soft popping sound. The flash gives you a

warm sensation.

After each flash, it takes up to 3.5 seconds until the device is ready to flash

again. You can release a flash when the 'READY to flash' light lights up white.

6Move to an adjacent spot and press the flash button again. The surface of the

attachment that is in contact with your skin is slightly larger than the light exit

window. The surface of the attachment should overlap the previous spot to

make sure you flash the complete skin area. DO NOT flash the same spot

more than 3times.

7Continue until you have treated the full area. There are two treatment modes

(see 'Two treatment modes: Stamp & Flash and Slide & Flash').

8Turn off the device when you finished the treatment.

9Remove hair before every next treatment, as long as hair is still visible.

Learning more about your Lumea

Attachments

For optimal results, it is important to use the correct attachment intended for the

specific body area you want to treat. Lumea offers full-body treatment with up

to three attachments designed for use on specific body areas.

Note: The device may not work anymore 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 off the light exit window.

Body attachment

The body attachment has the largest treatment window to effectively cover and

treat areas below the neckline, especially large areas such as legs, arms and

stomach.

Facial attachment (SC1997, SC1998, SC1999)

The facial attachment has an extra integrated filter for safe and precise

treatment on the sensitive skin above the upper lip, chin and sideburns. The

device is only intended for removing unwanted body hair from areas below the

cheekbones.

When you use the device on areas with sharp contours like the jawline and chin,

it may be difficult to establish full skin contact and release a flash.

Tip: Place your tongue between your upper lip and your teeth or puff out your

cheeks to make the treatment easier.

19

English

Bikini attachment (SC1998, SC1999)

The bikini attachment is designed for effective treatment of the bikini area. Hair

in this area tends to be thicker and stronger than leg hair.

Skin tone sensor

Lumea has an integrated skin tone sensor which measures the skin tone at the

start of each session and during the session.

The skin tone sensor prevents you to treat areas of your skin that are too dark. If

it detects a skin tone that is too dark for treatment with Lumea, the ‘READY to

flash' light starts blinking orange. It does not flash when you press the flash

button. The device automatically disables. This prevents you from developing

skin reactions.

Selecting the light intensity

Lumea provides 5 different light intensities, you will always be able to change to

a light intensity setting you find comfortable.

1Press the on/off button to turn on the device and select the desired light

intensity.

2To adjust the light intensity setting, use the on/off button until you have

reached the required setting.

Skin sensitivity can differ per person. Therefore, the skin test is the most

important guide for selecting your light intensity setting (see 'B Test skin 24

hours before treatment').

3Using Lumea should never be painful. If you experience discomfort, reduce

the light intensity setting.

Note: The device is automatically disabled when your skin tone is too dark

(brownish black or darker), to prevent you from developing skin reactions.

The ‘READY to flash’ light will blink orange to indicate if the skin tone is too

dark.

4After moving to another body area or after recent tanning (see 'Using your

Lumea before and after tanning'), perform a skin test to determine a

comfortable light intensity setting. To re-activate the setting indication

feature, turn on the device.

Note: Perform a skin test before you start to treat another body area or after a

skin tone change. Determine the light intensity setting for each body area

separately.

20 English

Two treatment modes: Stamp & Flash and Slide &

Flash

YourPhilips Lumea has two treatment modes for more convenient use on

different body areas:

-The Stamp & Flash mode is ideal to treat small orcurvy areas like knees and

underarms. Simply press and releasethe flash button to release a single flash.

-The Slide & Flash mode offers convenient use on larger areas like legs. Keep

the flash button pressed while you slide the device over your skinto release

several flashes in a row.
