Setting the light intensity

Philips Lumea Precision Plus 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 Plus 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. 

Note: The required light intensity for different body areas may vary due to 

different skin colours. For example, the skin of the lower legs can be darker 

than the skin of the underarms due to more sun exposure.

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’.
