Before you use your Lumea
Pretreating your skin
Before you use Lumea, you should pretreat your
skin by removing hairs on the surface of your skin.
This allows the light to be absorbed by the hair
parts below the skin surface to ensure effective
treatment. You can either shave, short-trim, epilate
or wax. Do not use depilatory creams, as chemicals
may cause skin reactions.
If you choose to wax, please wait 24 hours before
using Lumea to let your skin rest. We recommend
that you take a shower before the treatment to
ensure that all possible residue of wax has been
removed from your skin.
1 Pretreat the areas you intend to treat with
Lumea.
2 Clean your skin and make sure it is hair-free,
entirely dry and free from oily substances.
Note: if shaving causes skin irritation, we advise
you not to use the device until skin irritation is
resolved.
Skin test
When you use Lumea for the first time or after
recent tanning, perform a skin test on each area to
be treated. The skin test is necessary to check your
skin's reaction to the treatment and to determine
the correct light intensity setting for each
body area.
1 Choose an area close to the area you intend to
treat.
Note: do not try the device on difficult or
sensitive areas (ankle and bony area)
2 Turn on the device. Make sure you select
setting 1.
