Philips Lumea SC2005, Manual

Page: 10 / 106

The cycle of hair growth consists of different phases. IPL technology is only
effective when the hair is in its growing phase. Not all hairs are in the
growing phase at the same time. This is why we recommend an 8-week
treatment schedule followed by touch-ups to make sure all hairs are
effectively treated in the growing phase.
Note: Treatment with Lumea is not effective if you have light blond, blond as
light hairs do not absorb enough light. Below you can see the hair colors for
which Lumea is suitable and effective.

What to expect
Immediately after the 1st treatment
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
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
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. Keep on treating with frequent touch-ups (every 4-8
weeks) to maintain the result.
