Philips Lumea Prestige SC2004/14, Manual

Page: 20 / 50

Tip: The appliance may leave imprints on the skin in the treated
areas. These imprints may show you where you can make the
treated areas overlap.
If you use the appliance to treat both your lower and upper legs, you may
have to recharge the appliance during the treatment. This is normal. How
long you can use the appliance depends on the size of the treatment area
and the intensity setting used.
Tip: Many users combine leg treatments with other activities
around the house such as watching TV or listening to music. You
can also try this to make the experience more enjoyable and
relaxing.
Using the appliance in the bikini area
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for
your bikini area.
In principle, Philips Lumea is safe and gentle enough for treatment of the
entire bikini area (e.g. for ‘Brazilian’ or ‘Hollywood’ style). Use a lower setting
on darker pigmented, more sensitive skin in the bikini area. Do not use the
appliance on inner labia, vagina and anus. Men who wish to treat their pubic
area must not use the appliance on the scrotum.
Note: For hygienic reasons, always clean the body attachment before you start
treating another body area.
Using the appliance on the underarms
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for
your underarms.
Make sure you remove any deodorant, perfume, cream or other skin care
product from your underarms before treatment.
Tip: To achieve optimal results on your underarms, stand in front of a mirror to
get a good view of the area to be treated and the ‘ready to flash’ light. Raise
your arm and place your hand in your neck to stretch the skin in the underarm
area. In this way the safety ring can be pressed more easily onto the skin,
which makes the treatment easier to perform.
Note: The reflected light does not harm your eyes. If the scattered light is
unpleasant, close your eyes when you release a flash.
How to achieve optimal results
- It is normal that hairs are still visible after the first few treatments (see
chapter ‘Introduction’, section ‘Working principle’ for more information).
- To remove all hairs successfully and prevent the hair follicle from
becoming active again, the treatments have to be repeated once every
two weeks for the first two months. Your skin should be smooth by
then. Please read section ‘Maintenance phase’ to find out how you
can keep these results.
