Please note that treatment on unshaved or improperly shaved

areas has a number of undesired effects:

- The light exit window and body attachment may become

contaminated with stray hairs and dirt. A contaminated light exit

window and body attachment can reduce the life and efcacy of the

appliance. Contamination of the light exit window can also 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. residues of deodorants, lotions, perfumes,

tanning creams and sunscreens).

3 Check the appliance, especially the light exit window and

body attachment, for trapped hair, dust and bres. If you see any 

contamination, clean the appliance according to the instructions in

chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.

If shaving causes wounds or lesions, your skin may be more sensitive 

to IPL than that of others. This may cause the IPL treatment to feel 

uncomfortable or it may lead to other unwanted side effects. We advise

you to wait until the irritation has disappeared.

4 Once the hairs stop growing back, which usually happens after

4-5 treatments, you no longer have to shave before you use the

appliance.

Light intensity

Unlike professional light-based appliances, Philips Lumea Essential has been

developed for consumer use and its light pulses are gentler. Therefore you

can expect a convenient and effective treatment at a light intensity that

you nd comfortable.

Philips Lumea Essential provides ve different light intensities. Adjust the

light intensity to your skin and body hair colour and to a level you nd

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

appropriate for your skin and body hair colour.

Tip: You can put the table in the quick start guide on your skin and compare

it with your skin colour.

Tip: We advise you to store the quick start guide in the pouch for future reference.

2 Reduce the light intensity if you experience any pain or discomfort.

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. Different body areas may require different light intensities, see

to the table below. To prevent skin reactions, see chapter ‘Using the 

appliance’, section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.
