Philips Lumea IPL Haarentfernungssystem - Manual (Page 19)

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.

Intended treatment areas
The appliance is intended to treat unwanted hairs on the upper lip, chin,
cheeks, underarms, arms, stomach, bikini area, back and legs.
Using the appliance on the legs
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for your legs.
- You can move the appliance up and down or across the leg, whichever
is more convenient to you. In order to maintain full contact with the
skin, you can also place and hold the appliance on your skin sideways.
Note: Bony areas like shinbone and ankles are more sensitive than other areas
of the body. When you press the attachment hard onto these areas, the skin
can be more susceptible to skin reactions, such as skin irritation and redness.
See chapter ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’. Press the attachment
onto the skin just hard enough to make the ‘ready to flash’ light go on, but not
harder.
