Intended treatment areas
The appliance is intended to treat unwanted hairs from the underarms,
arms, stomach, bikini area and legs. It should not be used on the face.
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 body attachment hard onto these areas, the
skin can be more susceptible to skin reactions, such as skin irritation and
redness. See section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’ in this chapter.
Press the body attachment onto the skin just hard enough to make the ‘ready
to flash’ light go on, but not harder.
Using the appliance in the bikini area
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for use’,
section ‘Light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for your bikini area.
In principle, Philips Lumea Essential 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 (see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).
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.
