Selecting the right light intensity
Bikini attachment
The bikini attachment has a specialized design for effective treatment of
bikini areas. It has a curved-out design with transparent bikini filter. Hair in
this area tends to be typically thicker and stronger than leg hair, therefore
the bikini area attachment has a special filter for treating the coarser hair in
the bikini area.
Lumea provides 5 different light intensities and advises you on the right
setting you should use based on your skin tone. You will always be able to
change to a light intensity setting you find comfortable.
1 Press the on/off button to turn on the device. The device starts to
operate at light intensity setting 1.
Note: To adjust the light intensity setting manually without using the skin
advice, use the toggle button until you have reached the required setting.
The corresponding intensity light level lights up white.
2 Press the SmartSkin sensor ( ) and put the device to your skin.
3 After the device scanned your skin, the suggested intensity lights will
blink white to indicate which intensities you can use based on your skin
tone.
4 Press the confirmation button ( ) to confirm that you want to use the
suggested setting advice to start using the device.
Philips Lumea will automatically use the highest suggested intensity,
indicated by a continuous lighting led indicator.
Lumea gives you the freedom to select the light intensity that you find
most comfortable. If you want to set the light intensity setting manually,
please consult the table below. This table shows settings that for the
majority of users provides a comfortable, but still effective setting.
5 Using Lumea should never be painful. If you experience discomfort,
reduce the light intensity setting. You can do this by using the up-down
buttons.
Note: The device automatically disables when your skin tone is too dark
(skin type VI), to prevent you from developing skin reactions. The 'ready
to flash' light will blink orange to indicate if the skin tone is too dark.
6 After moving to another body area or recent tanning, perform a skin test
to determine the right light intensity setting. To re-activate the setting
advice feature, press the magnifying glass symbol.
Note: Since body areas might differ in skin color, you need to select the
right setting for each body area separately.
