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 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 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.
how to achieve optimal results

 - It is normal that hairs are still visible after the first few treatments (see 

chapter ‘Introduction’, section ‘Working principle’ for more information).

 - To remove all hairs successfully and prevent the hair follicle from 

becoming active again, the treatments have to be repeated once ever y 

two weeks for the first two months. Your skin should be smooth and 

hair-free by then. Please read section ‘Maintenance phase’ to find out 

how you can keep these results. 

Maintenance phase

 - To ensure that your skin stays smooth and hair-free, we advise you 

to repeat the treatment ever y four to six weeks. The time between 

treatments may var y based on your individual hair regrowth and also 

across different body areas. If too many hairs grow back between 

treatments, simply shor ten the treatment inter val again, but do not 

treat any area more often than once ever y two weeks. When you use 

the appliance more frequently than recommended, you do not increase 

the effectiveness but you do increase the risk of skin reactions. 

Possible side effects and skin reactions

Common skin reactions:

 - Your skin may show slight redness and/or may prickle, tingle or feel 

warm. This reaction is absolutely harmless and disappears quickly.

 - A skin reaction similar to sunburn may occur on the treated area for a 

shor t while. If this does not disappear within 3 days, we advise you to 

consult a doctor.
