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. 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 dir t. 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 attachment 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). 

 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 uncomfor table.

 - 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 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 

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 comfor table. 

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.
