4 Place the device at a 90° angle on the skin so that the attachment and
the integrated safety system are in contact with your skin
The integrated safety system prevents unintentional flashing without skin
contact.
5 Press the device firmly onto your skin to ensure proper skin contact. The
device then automatically performs a skin tone analysis and the ‘ready to
flash light’ lights up white to indicate that you can proceed with the
treatment.
Note: When the ‘ready to flash’ light lights up orange, your skin is not
suitable for treatment. In this case, the device automatically disables. You
can try to use the device on other areas with a lighter skin tone.
TIP: If you use Lumea on your bikini area and want to leave some hair in
place, make sure that the skin tone sensor is not placed on the remaining
hair during the treatment, as this can cause the device to block.
6 Press the flash button to release a flash. You should feel a warm
sensation because of the flash.
Note: The light produced by the device is harmless to your eyes. It is not
necessary to wear goggles during use. Use the device in a well-lit
room so that the light is less glaring to your eyes.
7 Place the device on the next area to be treated. 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 again.
8 To make sure that you have treated all areas, release the flashes close to
each other. Effective light only comes out of the light exit window,
therefore there should be some overlap. However, make sure you flash
the same area only once. Flashing the same area twice doesn't improve
the effectiveness of the treatment, but increases the risk of skin reactions.
9 When you have finished the treatment, press and hold the on/off button
for 2 seconds to switch off the device.
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.
