The appliance always starts automatically at the lowest setting.
4 Apply one flash at the lowest recommended intensity for your skin
type (for instructions on how to release a flash, see steps 6 to 9
of section ‘Subsequent use’ in this chapter).
5 As long as it feels comfortable (not painful), increase the setting by
one level within the recommended range for your skin type and
apply one flash for each setting. Do not apply more than one flash on
the same spot.
6 After the skin test, wait for 24 hours and check your skin for
any reaction. If your skin shows reactions, choose the highest setting
that did not result in any skin reaction for subsequent use.
When you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to perform
a skin test on the area to be treated to check your skin’s reaction to the
treatment and to get accustomed to light-based treatment.
Subsequent use
1 Before every treatment, clean the attachment, the light exit window
and the metallic frame inside the attachment of Philips Lumea. For
more information see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.
2 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
Note: It is normal that the appliance and the attachment become warm during
use.
3 Start each treatment by selecting the light intensity very carefully,
based on your skin’s sensitivity and on how comfortable treatment
feels.
Your skin may react differently on different days/occasions for a number of
reasons. See section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’ in this chapter
for more information.
