Press the flash button to release a flash.
The devices makes a soft
popping sound. You should feel a warm sensation because of the flash.
Note: The scattered light produced by the device is harmless to your
eyes. Do not look at the flash while using the device. It is not necessary to
wear goggles during use. Use the device in a well-lit room so that the
light is less glaring to your eyes.

Place the device on the next area to be treated. After each flash, it takes
up to 3.5
seconds until the device is ready to flash again. You can release
a flash when the 'ready to flash' light lights up white.
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.

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.
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 chest
and back. 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.
