Before you use your Lumea

Pretreating your skin

Before you use Lumea, you should pretreat your skin by removing hairs on

the surface of your skin. This allows the light to be absorbed by the hair

parts below the skin surface to ensure effective treatment. You can either

shave, short-trim, epilate or wax. Do not use depilatory creams, as

chemicals may cause skin reactions.

If you chose to wax, please wait 24 hours before using Lumea to let your

skin rest. We recommend that you take a shower before the treatment to

ensure that all possible residue of wax has been removed from your skin.

1 Pretreat the areas you intend to treat with Lumea.

2 Clean your skin and make sure it is hair-free, entirely dry and free from

oily substances.

Note: Once the hairs stop growing back, which usually happens after 4-5

treatments, you no longer have to pretreat your skin before you use the

device.

Skin test

When you use Lumea for the first time or after recent tanning, perform a skin

test on each area to be treated. The skin test is necessary to check your

skin's reaction to the treatment and to determine the correct light intensity

setting for each body area.

1 Choose an area close to the area you intend to treat.

2 Switch on the device. Make sure you select setting 1.

3 Put the device against your skin and press the flash button to release a

flash.

4 Slide the device over the skin to the next area to be treated.

5 Increase the setting by one level, apply a flash and slide the device to the

next area. Repeat this for all levels within the recommended range for

your skin type.

6 After the skin test, wait 24 hours and check your skin for any reaction. If

your skin shows reactions, choose the highest setting that did not result

in any skin reaction for subsequent use. The skin test should be

performed in all the areas you want to treat.

Skin tone sensor

For extra safety the integrated skin tone sensor measures the skin tone at

the beginning of each session and occasionally during the session. If it

detects a skin tone that is too dark for treatment with Lumea, the device
