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 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 and
hair-free by then. Please read section ‘Maintenance phase’ to find out
how you can keep these results.
Maintenance phase
- To ensure that your skin stays smooth and hair-free, we advise you
to repeat the treatment every four to six weeks. The time between
treatments may vary based on your individual hair regrowth and also
across different body areas. If too many hairs grow back between
treatments, simply shorten the treatment interval again, but do not
treat any area more often than once every two weeks. When you use
the appliance more frequently than recommended, you do not increase
the effectiveness but you do increase the risk of skin reactions.
possible side effects and skin reactions
Common skin reactions:
- Your skin may show slight redness and/or may prickle, tingle or feel
warm. This reaction is absolutely harmless and disappears quickly.
- A skin reaction similar to sunburn may occur on the treated area for a
short while. If this does not disappear within 3 days, we advise you to
consult a doctor.
