Working principle
The appliance works by heating up the hair and root
beneath the skin. The melanin in the hair and hair
root absorbs the released light pulses.
The darker the colour of the hair, the more light can
be absorbed. This process stimulates the hair to go
into the resting phase. The hair now sheds naturally
and the hair growth is inhibited. Hairs can take one
or two weeks to shed. Optimal hair removal cannot
be obtained with a single session, since only hairs
in the growing phase are susceptible to treatment
with light. During a treatment, hairs on the treated
area are usually in different stages of the hair growth
cycle. To effectively treat all hairs you have to repeat
the treatment every two weeks for a few times.
An integrated optical filter ensures that no UV light
reaches the skin and guarantees that the appliance is
safe for the skin.
What effect can you expect after treatment?
- After you have treated the hairs every two weeks
two to four times (depending on your skin/hair
type and the intensity setting), you notice that hair
growth decreases and that the hairs that grow
back are softer.
- After you have treated the hairs six to eight
times (depending on your skin/hair type and the
intensity setting), you notice that most of the hairs
do not return.
- After you have treated the hairs eight times,
continue to use the Lumea Plus for men to
maintain a smooth skin. For more information,
see section ‘Maintenance phase’ in chapter ‘Using
the appliance’.
- If you stop using the Lumea Plus for men, the hairs
start to regrow after some time.
