Philips Lumea IPL Haarentfernungssystem - Manual (Page 17)

6 After the skin test, wait for 24 hours and check your skin for
any reaction. If your skin shows reactions, choose the highest setting
that did not result in any skin reaction for subsequent use.
When you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to perform
a skin test on the area to be treated to check your skin’s reaction to the
treatment and to get accustomed to light-based treatment.
Subsequent use
1 Before every treatment, clean the attachment, the light exit window
and the metallic frame inside the attachment of Philips Lumea. For
more information see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.
2 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
Note: It is normal that the appliance and the attachment become warm during
use.
3 Start each treatment by selecting the light intensity very carefully,
based on your skin’s sensitivity and on how comfortable treatment
feels.
Your skin may react differently on different days/occasions for a number of
reasons and especially after tanning. 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 attachment
and the safety ring are in contact with the skin.
