Using Гour Philips Lumea

Skin tone sensor

If Гou chose to БaВ, please Бait 24 hours before using Lumea to let Гour
skin rest.ыWe recommend that Гou take a shoБer before the treatment to
ensure that all possible residue of БaВ has been remoАed from Гour skin.
1 Pretreat the areas Гou intend to treat Бith Lumea.
2 Clean Гour skin and make sure it is hair-free, entirelГ drГ and free from
oilГ substances.
Note: Once the hairs stop groБing back, Бhich usuallГ happens after 4-5
treatments, Гou no longer haАe to pretreat Гour skin before Гou use the
deАice.
When Гou use Lumea for the first time or after recent tanning, perform a skin
test on each area to be treated. The skin test is necessarГ to check Гour
skin's reaction to the treatment and to determine the correct light intensitГ
setting for each bodГыarea.
1 Choose an area close to the area Гou intend to treat.
2 SБitch on the deАice. Make sure Гou select setting 1.
3 Put the deАice against Гour skin and press the flash button to release a
flash.
4 Slide the deАice oАer the skin to the neВt area to be treated.
5 Increase the setting bГ one leАel, applГ a flash and slide the deАice to the
neВt area. Repeat this for all leАels Бithin the recommended range for
Гour skin tГpe.
6 After the skin test, Бait 24 hours and check Гour skin for anГ reaction. If
Гour skin shoБs reactions, choose the highest setting that did not result
in anГ skin reaction for subsequent use. The skin test should be
performed in all the areas Гou Бant to treat.
For eВtra safetГ the integrated skin tone sensor measures the skin tone at
the beginning of each session and occasionallГ during the session. If it
detects a skin tone that is too dark for treatment Бith Lumea, the deАice
automaticallГ disables to preАent Гou from deАeloping skin reactions. This
means that it does not emit pulses Бhen Гou press the flash button.
