Preparing treatment areas

Setting the light intensity

1 Always shave the areas you intend to treat before you use the Lumea
Plus for men. The Lumea Plus for men can only be used on a shaved skin.
Note: Philips recommends that you use the Philips Bodygroom included
in the package to preshave the areas to be treated with the Philips
Lumea Plus for men. Use the Philips Bodygroom dry because the Philips
Lumea Plus for men can only be used on dry skin.
Note: If your last depilation method involved removing hairs by the root
(e.g epilating, waxing etc.), wait until you notice significant hair regrowth
before you use Philips Lumea Plus for men.
Note: Do not use depilatory creams instead of shaving.
Philips Lumea Plus for men is an appliance developed for home use and
therefore not comparable with professional light-based appliances with
respect to pain sensation. Pulses of light delivered by Philips Lumea Plus for
men are gentler than those from professional appliances and therefore you
can expect a convenient and effective treatment.
Adjust the light intensity to your skin and body hair colour and to a level you
find comfortable.
The table with recommended light intensities 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 higherintensities,
but you should 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 intensity you use can feel warm or hot
on the skin, but should never feel uncomfortable.
To prevent skin reactions, see chapter 'Using the
appliance', section 'Possible side effects and skin
reactions'.
