Selecting the light intensity

The face attachment has an extra integrated red glass filter for safe and precise
treatment on the sensitive skin above the upper lip, chin and sideburns. The
device is only intended for removing unwanted body hair from areas below the
cheekbones. When you use the device on areas with sharp contours like the
jawline and chin, it may be difficult to establish full skin contact and release a
flash.
Tip: Place your tongue between your upper lip and your teeth or puff out your
cheeks to make the treatment easier.
The bikini attachment is designed for effective treatment of the bikini area. Hair
in this area tends to be thicker and stronger than leg hair.
Lumea has an integrated skin tone sensor which measures the skin tone at the
start of each session and during the session.
The skin tone sensor prevents you to treat areas of your skin that are too dark. If
it detects a skin tone that is too dark for treatment with Lumea, the 'READY to
flash' light starts blinking orange. It does not flash when you press the flash
button. The device automatically disables. This prevents you from developing
skin reactions.
Lumea provides 5 different light intensities, you will always be able to change
to a light intensity setting you find comfortable.
