What to expect
After initial treatment phase
- After
the first treatment, it can take 1 to 2 weeks for the hairs to fall out. In
the first weeks following the initial treatments, you still see some hairs
growing.
These are likely to be hairs that were not in their growing phase
during the first treatments.
- After 2-3 treatments, you should see a noticeable reduction in hair
growth. However, to effectively treat all hairs, it is important to keep on
treating according to the recommended treatment schedule.
- After 4-5 treatments, you should see a significant reduction of hair
growth in the areas that you treated with Lumea. A reduction of hair
density should be visible as well.
During touch-up treatment phase
- Keep on treating with frequent touch-ups (every 4-8 weeks) to maintain
the result.
Using your Lumea Prestige before and after
tanning
Tanning with natural or artificial sunlight
Intentionally exposing your skin to natural or artificial sunlight with the aim
of developing a tan influences the sensitivity and color of your skin.
Therefore the following is important:
- After each treatment, wait at least 48 hours before tanning. Even after 48
hours, make sure that the treated skin does not show any redness from
the treatment anymore.
- In case of exposing your skin to the sun (without tanning intentionally) in
the 48 hours after treatment, use a sunblock SPF 50+ on the treated
areas. After this period, you can use a sunblock SPF 30+ for two weeks.
- After tanning, wait at least 2 weeks before you use Lumea.
- After recent tanning, perform a skin test to determine the appropriate
light intensity setting. For instructions see chapter 'Skin test'.
- Do not use Lumea on sunburned body areas.
Note: Occasional and indirect sun exposure does not qualify as tanning.
Tanning with creams
If you have used an artificial tanning lotion, wait until the artificial tan has
disappeared completely before you use the device.
