Philips Lumea Épilateur à lumière intense pulsée - Manual (Page 18)

Please note that treatment on unshaved or
improperly shaved areas has a number of
undesired effects:
- The light exit window and attachment may
become contaminated with stray hairs and dirt.
A contaminated light exit window and attachment
can reduce the life and efficacy of the appliance.
In addition, burns or black spots that appear
on the light exit window and attachment due
to contamination can cause the treatment to
become painful or cause skin reactions like
redness and discolouration (hyperpigmentation or
hypopigmentation).
2 Clean your skin and make sure it is hair-free,
entirely dry and free from oily substances
(e.g. present in cosmetic products like
deodorants, lotions, perfumes, tanning creams
and sunscreens).
3 Check the appliance, especially the light
exit window and the body attachment for
trapped hair, dust and fibres. If you see any
contamination, clean the appliance according
to the instructions in chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’.
Notes:
- If shaving causes wounds or lesions, your skin may
be more sensitive and the light treatment might
feel uncomfortable sometimes.
- Once the hairs stop growing back - which usually
happens after 6-7 treatments - you no longer have
to shave before you use the appliance.
