What to expect
After initial phase
To achieve effective hair reduction, follow the initial treatment schedule.
Initial treatment schedule
For the first 4 treatments, use Lumea once every two weeks to ensure that
all hairs are treated.
- Treat yourself within 3 days before or after the planned treatment date.
- If you have not treated yourself within 3 days before or after the planned
treatment date, restart the initial phase. Plan in 4 treatments, one
treatment every two weeks.
Note: If you do not restart the initial phase, you may not see effective hair
reduction.
Note: Replacing one of the IPL treatments with another hair removal
method (e.g. waxing, epilating) will not help to reach the desired hair
reduction.
If you want to remove hairs in between the Lumea treatments, you can use
your normal hair removal method.
After the initial phase (4 treatments), we recommend touch-ups every 4
weeks.
Touch-up treatment schedule
Treat yourself every 4 weeks. Repeat this 8 times to achieve effective hair
reduction. This is to maintain results and enjoy smooth skin for months.
- We advise you to treat yourself within 4 days before or after the planned
treatment date.
- The results may vary based on your individual hair regrowth and also
across different body areas.
- If you have completed the touch-up phase and you see the need to
continue treatment (hair starts coming back), we advise you to restart the
initial phase.
Tip: Mark the treatment schedule on your calendar to remind yourself of the
planned treatments.
- After the first treatment, it can take 1 to 2 weeks for the hairs to fall out. In
the first weeks following the initial treatments, you still see some hairs
growing. These are likely to be hairs that were not in their growing phase
during the first treatments.
- After 2-3 treatments, you should see a noticeable reduction in hair
growth. However, to effectively treat all hairs, it is important to keep on
treating according to the recommended treatment schedule.
