- Before you use Lumea, you should clean your skin and make sure
it is hair-free, entirely dry and free from oily substances.
- Do not treat the same skin area more than once during a session.
This does not improve the effectiveness of the treatment, but
increases the risk of skin reactions.
- Lumea should never be painful. If you experience discomfort,
reduce the light intensity setting.

How IPL works

This Philips device complies with all applicable standards and regulations
regarding exposure to electromagnetic fields.
With Intense Pulsed Light technology, gentle pulses of light are applied to
the skin and absorbed by the hair root. The lighter the skin and the darker
the hair, the better the pulses of light are absorbed.
The pulses of light stimulate the hair follicle to go into a resting phase. As a
consequence, the hair sheds naturally and hair regrowth is prevented.
The cycle of hair growth consists of different phases. IPL technology is only
effective when the hair is in its growing phase. Not all hairs are in the
growing phase at the same time. This is why we recommend you to follow
the initial treatment phase (4-5 treatments, every treatment 2 weeks apart)
and then the follow-up treatment phase (touch-ups every 4-8 weeks) to
make sure all hairs are effectively treated in the growing phase.
Tip: To assure long lasting hair removal, touch-ups every 4 weeks are
recommended.
Note: Treatment with Lumea is not effective if you have light blond, grey, red
or white hairs as light hairs do not absorb enough light. Below you can see
the hair colors for which Lumea is suitable and effective.
