First use and skin test
1 Choose the attachment appropriate for the area you intend to treat.
2 Choose an area close to the area you intend to treat.

,
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 attachments, the light exit window
and the metallic frame inside the attachments of Philips Lumea
Precision Plus. For more information see chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’.
2 Choose the attachment appropriate for the area you intend to treat.
3 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
Note: It is normal that the appliance and the attachment become warm
during use.
