Please note that treatment on unshaved or improperly shaved
areas has a number of undesired effects:
-
The light exit window and attachment may become contaminated with
stray hairs and dirt. A contaminated light exit window and attachment
can reduce the life and efficacy of the appliance. In addition, burns or
black spots that appear on the light exit window and attachments due
to contamination can cause the treatment to become painful or cause
skin reactions like redness and discolouration.
-
Hairs on your skin can burn, which can result in an unpleasant smell.
2
Clean your skin and make sure it is hair-free, entirely dry and
free from oily substances (e.g. present in cosmetic products like
deodorants, lotions, perfumes, tanning creams and sunscreens).
3
Check the appliance, especially the light exit window and attachment,
for trapped hair, dust and fibres. If you see any contamination, clean
the appliance according to the instructions in chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance'.
Notes:
-
If shaving causes wounds or lesions, your skin may be more sensitive
and the light treatment may sometimes feel uncomfortable.
-
Once the hairs stop growing back, which usually happens after
4-5 treatments, you no longer have to shave before you use the appliance.
Setting the light intensity
Philips Lumea Precision Plus is an appliance developed for consumer use at
home and therefore not comparable with professional light-based appliances
with respect to pain sensation. The pulses of light delivered by Philips Lumea
Precision Plus are gentler than those from professional appliances and
therefore you can expect a convenient and effective treatment.
You have to adjust the light intensity to your skin and body hair colour and
to a level you find comfortable.
The recommended light intensities table below helps you to establish the
right light intensity
1
Consult the table below to determine which light intensities are most
suitable for your skin and body hair colour and to check if this method
is suitable for you (if it is not, this is indicated with x in the table).
2
Each body area and possibly even parts of a body area may require a
separate appropriate light intensity according to the recommended
light intensities table below. The method is more effective at higher
intensities, but you should reduce the light intensity if you experience
any pain or discomfort.
Note: The required light intensity for different body areas may vary due to
different skin colours. For example, the skin of the lower legs can be darker
than the skin of the underarms due to more sun exposure.
Persons with darker skin run a higher risk of skin irritation because their
skin absorbs more light. Therefore lower intensities are recommended
for persons with darker skin.
The light pulse can feel warm or hot on the skin but should never be
painful. To prevent skin reactions, see chapter 'Using the appliance',
section 'Possible side effects and skin reactions'.
