Philips Lumea IPL Haarentfernungssystem - Manual (Page 20)

Tip: Many users combine leg treatments with other activities
around the house such as watching TV or listening to music. You
can also try this to make the experience more enjoyable and
relaxing.
Tip: White eye pencil
To help you remember what part of your skin you have already treated,
you can mark sections on your leg with a white eye pencil.
1 Take a white eye pencil and draw a line on your leg. Start at any point
of your leg and draw a straight line.
2 Draw additional lines at a distance of 3cm from the first line if you
use the appliance horizontally or at a distance of 1cm if you use the
appliance vertically.
Perform the treatment section by section. If you need to take a break
during a session, just mark the last treated area with the same eye pencil
and resume the treatment later.
Note: Only use a white eye pencil. Any other colour absorbs the light and may
cause skin irritation.
Using the appliance in the bikini area
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for
your bikini area.
In principle, Philips Lumea is safe and gentle enough for treatment of the
entire bikini area (e.g. for ‘Brazilian’ or ‘Hollywood’ style). Use a lower setting
on darker pigmented, more sensitive skin in the bikini area. Do not use the
appliance on inner labia, vagina and anus. Men who wish to treat their pubic
area must not use the appliance on the scrotum.
Note: For hygienic reasons, always clean the body attachment before you start
treating another body area.
Using the appliance on the underarms
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for
your underarms.
Make sure you remove any deodorant, perfume, cream or other skin care
product from your underarms before treatment.
Tip: To achieve optimal results on your underarms, stand in front of a mirror to
get a good view of the area to be treated and the ‘ready to flash’ light. Raise
your arm and place your hand in your neck to stretch the skin in the underarm
area. In this way the safety ring can be pressed more easily onto the skin,
which makes the treatment easier to perform.
Note: The reflected light does not harm your eyes. If the scattered light is
unpleasant, close your eyes when you release a flash.
