8 To make sure that you have treated all areas, release the flashes close to
each other. Effective light only comes out of the light exit window. Part
of the device that is in contact with your skin is slightly larger therefore
there should be some overlap. However, make sure you flash the same
area only once.
Note: Flashing the same area twice does not improve the effectiveness of
the treatment, but increases the risk of skin reactions.
Note: Do not use any pencil or pen to mark the areas to be treated, as
this may cause side effects to your skin.
9 When you have finished the treatment, press and hold the on/off button
to switch off the device. Remove the adapter from the wall socket if you
used the device corded.
Note: If you did not use the device for a long period of time, it is important to
perform a skin test again and have it charged to avoid deep discharge.
Two treatment modes: Stamp & Flash and Slide & Flash
-
Your Philips Lumea has two treatment modes for more convenient use
on different body areas:
-
The Stamp & Flash mode is ideal to treat small or curvy areas like knees
and underarms. Simply press and release the flash button to release a
single flash.
-
The Slide & Flash mode offers convenient use on larger areas like legs.
Keep the flash button pressed while you slide the device over your
skin to release several flashes in a row.
Note: The device needs up to 2 seconds (when used with cord, or up to
3.5 seconds when used without cord) in between two flashes, so make
sure you flash on every area you wish to treat. Sliding too fast over the
skin will cause missed spots.
After use
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.
Dry skin and itching may occur due to shaving or a combination of shaving
and light treatment. You can cool the area with an ice pack or a wet face
cloth. If dryness persists, you can apply a non-scented moisturizer on the
treated area.
