SmartSkin sensor

Lumea offers SenseIQ technology for a personalized hair removal treatment. The integrated SmartSkin sensor measures the skin tone at the start of each session and during the session. This provides two features:

1 The SmartSkin sensor prevents you to treat areas of your skin that are too dark: if it detects a skin tone that is too dark for treatment with Lumea, the 'READY to flash' light starts blinking orange. It does not flash when you press the flash button. The device automatically disables. This prevents you from developing skin reactions.

2 The SmartSkin sensor will help you to select the light intensity setting that is comfortable for your skin. For this you can use the SmartSkin button Ⓞ.

Selecting the light intensity

Lumea provides 5 different light intensities, 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.

Using your Lumea Prestige before and after tanning

Tanning with natural or artificial sunlight

Illustration of a person holding a medical device with a cross symbol (no text or labels)

Intentionally exposing your skin to natural or artificial sunlight with the developing a tan influences the sensitivity and color of your skin. The following is important:

• After each treatment, wait at least 48 hours before tanning. Even hours, make sure that the treated skin does not show any redne treatment anymore.
• If you expose your skin to the sun (without tanning intentionally) hours after treatment, use a sunblock SPF 50 on the treated areas period, you can use a sunblock SPF 50 for two weeks.
• After tanning, wait at least 2 weeks before you use Lumea and p skin test. This is to determine the appropriate light intensity setting Test skin 24 hours before treatment').
• Do not use Lumea on sunburned body areas.

Note: Occasional and indirect sun exposure does not qualify as tar

Tanning with creams

If you have used an artificial tanning lotion, wait until the artificial completely gone before you use the device.

Traveling with the device

When you travel with the device, check with the airplane carrier to the device can be carried and/or used on the airplane.

After use

Aftercare

After use, you can apply lotions, creams, deodorant, moisturizer or cosmetics to the treated areas.

Warning: If you experience skin irritation or skin redness after treatment, wait until it disappears before applying any product to your skin. If you experience skin irritation after applying a product to your skin, wash it off with water. If you still get skin reactions, stop using the device and consult your doctor.

Common skin reactions

Your skin may show slight redness and/or may prickle, tingle or feel warm. This reaction disappears quickly.

Dry skin and itching may occur due to shaving or a combination of shaving and light treatment. You can cool the area with an ice pack or a wet face cloth. If dryness persists, you can apply a non-scented moisturizer on the treated area.

Rare side effects

• Burns, excessive redness (e.g. around hair follicles) and swelling: these reactions occur rarely. They are the result of using a light intensity that is too high for your skin tone. If these reactions do not disappear within 3 days, we advise you to consult a doctor. Wait with the next treatment until the skin has healed completely and make sure you use a lower light intensity.
• Skin discoloration: this occurs very rarely. Skin discoloration manifests itself as either a darker patch (hyperpigmentation) or a lighter patch (hypopigmentation) than the surrounding area. This is the result of using a light intensity that is too high for your skin tone. If the discoloration does not disappear within 2 weeks, we advise you to consult a doctor. Do not treat discolored areas until the discoloration has disappeared and your skin has regained its normal skin tone.
• Skin infection is very rare but is a possible risk following a (micro)wound, a skin burn, skin irritation, etc.
• Epidermal heating (a sharply defined brownish area which often occurs with darker skin tones and is not accompanied with skin dryness): this reaction occurs very rarely. In case this reaction does not disappear within 1 week, we advise you to consult a doctor. Wait with the next treatment until the skin has healed completely and make sure you use a lower light intensity.

• Blistering (looks like small bubbles on the surface of the skin): this occurs very rarely. In case this reaction does not disappear within 1 month or when the skin gets infected, we advise you to consult a doctor. Wait with the next treatment until the skin has healed completely and make sure you use a lower light intensity.

• Scarring: often the secondary effect of a burn, which can take longer than a month to heal.

• Folliculitis (swelling around hair follicles combined with pustule formation): this reaction occurs very rarely and is the result of bacteria penetrating the damaged skin. In case this reaction occurs, we advise you to consult a doctor as folliculitis may need antibiotic ointment.
• Pain: this can occur during or after treatment if you use the device on skin that is not hair-free, if you use the device at a light intensity that is too high for your skin tone, if you flash the same area more than once and if you use the device on open wounds, inflammations, infections, tattoos, burns, etc.

Never use the device if you have infections, eczema, burns, inflammation of hair follicles, open lacerations, abrasions, herpes simplex (cold sores), wounds or lesions and haematomas (bruises) in the areas to be treated. Never use the device on the following areas: on moles, freckles, large veins, darker pigmented areas, scars, skin anomalies without consulting your doctor. Never use the device on warts, tattoos or permanent make-up, around the eyes and on or near the eyebrows, on the lips, perineum, scalp, nipples, areolas, labia minora, vagina, anus and the inside of the nostrils and ears. Men must not use it on the face and neck including all beard growing areas and whole genital area. This can result in a burn and a change in skin color, which makes it potentially harder to identify skin-related diseases.
There is no glass window in my attachment.	This is normal. No action required: there is no glass window in the body and underarm attachments. Only the facial attachment has a red glass filter. The precision and bikini attachments have a transparent glass window.

Problem Possible cause Solution

The skin reaction after treatment lasts longer than usual.	You have used a light intensity setting which is too high for you.	Select a lower intensity next time (see 'Selecting the light intensity').
The flash is very bright to my eyes. Do I need to wear goggles?	No, Philips Lumea does not hurt your eyes.	The scattered light produced by the device is harmless to your eyes. Do not look at the flash while using the device. It is not necessary to wear goggles during use. Use the device in a well-lit room so that the light is less glaring to your eyes. Be sure to make good skin contact to avoid scattered light.
The results of the treatment are not satisfactory.	You have used a light intensity setting which is too low for you.	Select a higher setting next time.
	You did not cover all areas to be treated.	The surface of the attachment should overlap the previous spot to make sure you flash the complete skin area, but treating the same area multiple times does not increase efficacy.
	The device is not effective on your body hair color.	If you have light blond, grey, red or white hair, the treatment is not effective.
	You do not use the device as often as recommended.	To remove all hairs successfully, we advise you to follow the recommended treatment schedule. You can reduce the time between treatments, but do not treat more often than once every two weeks.
	You respond more slowly to IPL treatment.	Continue using the device for at least 6 months, as hair growth can still decrease over the course of this period.
