Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips!

Light-based hair removal is one of the most effective methods to treat
unwanted body hair with longer-lasting results. It is different from current
home hair removal methods because it significantly reduces hair regrowth.
Philips has been investigating this method together with leading dermatologists
for over 15 years. You can now use this innovative technology comfortably in
the privacy of your own home, whenever you want.
This appliance has been specifically designed and optimised for use by
women, but can be used by men as well.
Philips Lumea Essential enables treatment of unwanted hair on all areas
below the cheekbones, including the face (upper lip, chin and cheeks), using
two tailored attachments.
Philips Lumea Essential is designed for individual use only. For hygienic
reasons and to ensure a longer life time, we advise you not to share the
appliance with others.

Benefits
This appliance provides the following benefits:
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology for home use
Philips Lumea Essential uses a light-based technology called 'Intense Pulsed
Light' (IPL). IPL is also used in the professional beauty market for hair
removal and has been in use for over fifteen years. Philips Lumea Essential
now brings this innovative technology to the comfort of your home.
Effective hair regrowth prevention for everyday smoothness
This method provides you with long-lasting hair regrowth prevention and
silky-smooth skin. Our studies have shown a significant hair reduction after
only two treatments. Optimal results were generally achieved after four
to five treatments. A reduction in hair density is visible from treatment to
treatment. How fast the effect becomes visible and how long the results
last varies from person to person. For more information, see section
'How to achieve optimal results' in chapter 'Using the appliance'.
Gentle treatment, even on sensitive body areas
Philips Lumea Essential has been developed in close cooperation with
licensed dermatologists for an effective and gentle treatment, even on
the most sensitive body areas. The precision attachment even allows you
to safely use the appliance on your face.
No replacement lamps needed, no hidden costs
Philips Lumea Essential is equipped with a high-performance lamp which
does not require replacement. This lamp can generate over 100,000 flashes
and should enable you to continuously maintain results for more than
5 years* while saving money on expensive replacement lamps.
