- Do not treat the same skin area more than
once during a session. This does not
improve the effectiveness of the treatment,
but increases the risk of skin reactions.
- Lumea should never be painful. If you
experience discomfort, reduce the light
intensity setting.
Electromagnetic fields (EMF)
This Philips device complies with all applicable
standards and regulations regarding exposure to
electromagnetic fields.
How Intense Pulsed Light- technology works
With IPL technology, gentle pulses of light are
applied to the skin and absorbed by the hair root.
The darker the hair, the better the pulses of light
are absorbed.
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,
leaving your skin continuously silky-smooth.
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 an 8-week treatment schedule
followed by touch-ups to make sure all hairs are
effectively treated in the growing phase.
