Philips Lumea Sistema de eliminación de vello IPL - Manual (Page 15)

Your skin may react differently on different days/occasions for a number of
reasons. See section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’ in this chapter
for more information.
4 Press the % button to increase the intensity. To lower the intensity,
press the ^ button.
, Every time you press the button, the corresponding intensity
light starts to flash. This takes a few seconds.
5 Place the appliance at a 90° angle on the skin so that the body
attachment and the safety ring are in contact with the skin.
Note: It may be difficult to have the safety ring make proper contact with the
skin on certain areas. In that case, you could hold the Lumea for men upside
down, while you press the flash button with your thumb.
6 Press the safety ring fully onto the skin with slight pressure.
, The ‘ready to flash’ light on the back of the appliance lights up green
when all contact switches of the safety ring are in contact with the
skin and the appliance is charged.
Note: The safety ring has contact switches that together are the safety system of
the appliance. This safety ring prevents unintentional flashing without skin contact.
Tip: For easier use, stretch the skin you want to treat. On areas with softer skin, you
may need to exert more pressure on the appliance to push in all contact switches.
Note: Bony areas like shinbone, ankles or ribs are more sensitive than other
areas of the body. When you press the appliance hard onto these areas, the
skin can be more susceptible to skin reactions like irritation and redness.
See section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’ in this chapter. Press the
appliance onto the skin just hard enough to make the ‘ready to flash’ light go
on, but no harder.
