EFFICACY 1. What hair removal results can I expect from Philips Lumea IPL hair removal system? - If Philips Lumea is suitable for you (see question “Is this appliance suitable for all skin and hair types?”), you can achieve excellent hair removal results with it. The pulses of light delivered by Philips Lumea are gentler than those from professional devices yet still deliver excellent results. Our studies have shown a signifi cant hair reduction already after two treatments. Optimal results were generally achieved after 4 - 5 treatments. 2. Can I really expect to enjoy smooth skin every day? - If Philips Lumea is suitable for you (see question “Is this appliance suitable for all skin and hair types?”), you can achieve long- lasting results. For armpit and bikini areas, we recommend you to use Philips Lumea every two weeks. For legs, start initially with bi-weekly treatments. Once you have noticed a signifi cant reduction in regrowth and are happy with the results, use Philips Lumea once every four weeks. If hairs start to regrow, decrease the interval time between two treatments again. SUITABILITY & TREATMENT AREAS 3. Is Philips Lumea IPL hair removal system suitable for all skin and hair types? - Philips Lumea is suitable for most women, except those with skin type VI (you rarely or never get sunburnt and you tan very darkly) and those whose body hair color is white, red, grey or light blond. Treating dark skin with a light-based depilation method can lead to skin reactions such as redness, burning and discoloration of the skin. Please check the user manual to see if the appliance is suitable for you. 4. On which body parts can I use Philips Lumea IPL hair removal system? - Philips Lumea has been designed for use below the neck. Use it to remove hair from underarms, bikini area and legs. 5. Can Philips Lumea IPL hair removal system be used to remove facial hair as well? - No. We do not recommend using Philips Lumea for the removal of unwanted facial hair. This requires a product specifi cally designed for facial hair removal. 6. Can this method be used for a full bikini area depilation, including sensitive areas? - Yes. Philips Lumea is safe and gentle enough for use on the entire bikini area (e.g. for ‘Brazilian’ or ‘Hollywood’ styles) On darker, more sensitive pigmented areas of the bikini-area, use a lower setting. Do not use in mucous areas (vagina and anus). 7. Can men use the Philips Lumea IPL hair removal system? - No. Philips Lumea has been tested on and developed specifi cally for use by women. This is because there are specifi c biological differences (hair density etc.) between male and female body hair. SAFETY 8. Is Philips Lumea IPL hair removal system safe for me? - Yes. Your safety is our priority. Philips Lumea has been developed together with leading dermatologists and meets all home- use appliance safety regulations. - For added assurance, Philips Lumea comes with a built-in safety system. This ensures that a fl ash (the gentle pulses appear as fl ashes of light) will only be released if you have placed the appliance on your skin in such a way that it is correctly in contact with your skin. - Side effects and complications, while possible, are very unlikely as long as Philips Lumea is used according to the instructions and precautions included in the user manual. - For full safety, use Philips Lumea according to instructions in the user manual. 9. Is long-term use of the appliance harmful for my skin? - No, not if used according to instructions. Philips Lumea works with professional IPL technology adapted for home use. This technology has been used successfully and safely by the beauty industry for more than 15 years. No serious side effects or damage from long-term use of light-based hair removal devices has been reported. 10. Can the light used harm my skin? - No. Philips Lumea has an integrated UV fi lter that ensures that the light only affects the hair and not the skin, if the appliance is used correctly. For the right application mode for you, use the appliance according to instructions in the user manual. 11. Do I need to wear safety goggles? - No. It is not necessary to wear safety goggles. This is because Philips Lumea has a safety feature that ensures that a fl ash can only be released when the product is fully in contact with your skin. 3-12 FAQs - Project SC2001 - Philips Lumea SC2001/00 12. Is the scattering light I see during fl ashing harmful to my eyes? - No. The scattering light you see when the fl ash is released onto your skin is harmless to your eyes. The light you will see is largely a refl ection of light from the skin. CHARGING 13. How long do I have to charge the appliance? - It will take up to 1.5 hours to charge the appliance fully. The quick charge function recharges Philips Lumea to 80% within one hour in case you want to continue your treatment sooner. 14. What does the charging light tell me? - When the charging light fl ashes green, the appliance is charging. - When the charging light is continuously green, the appliance is fully charged. - When the charging light is continuously orange, the battery needs to be charged. 15. Why doesn’t the adapter charge my appliance? - Firstly, check that the socket is working by plugging another appliance into the socket. - Next, check that the small plug is inserted properly into the appliance socket and the adapter is inserted properly into the wall socket. Do this by removing both the small plug and the adapter and then reinserting them. 16. Is it normal for the adapter to feel warm during charging? - Yes. It is completely normal for the adapter to get warm when used for longer periods of time. 17. Can I use the appliance from the mains when it is not charged? - No. Philips Lumea uses battery power rather than mains power. This means it cannot be used when it is charging. 18. How long does the appliance run on a full battery? - The length of time that you are able to use the appliance for before recharging depends on the size of the treatment area and the intensity setting used. - A fully charged battery will contain enough energy for at least 150 fl ashes at the highest intensity (level 5) before needing to be recharged. At lower intensities the appliance will last for more than 150 fl ashes. This is generally enough for both armpits and bikini area. To treat both legs entirely though you may need to recharge the battery at least once. 19. How many fl ashes can the appliance still release after the charging light lights up orange? - If the charging light has changed to continuous orange, the battery will still contain enough energy for at least 30 fl ashes. This means that you still have enough fl ashes to treat one underarm or one side of the bikini line before putting the device on charge TREATMENT INTERVAL 20. How often should I use Lumea IPL hair removal solution? - We recommend that you use the appliance once every two weeks on armpit and bikini area to achieve long-lasting hair removal and to prevent hairregrowth. On legs, regrowth of hair is often slower. Therefore, a treatment once every four weeks should be all that is needed to keep legs smooth and hair free. If you see too many hairs grow back within four weeks, simply reduce the interval time between treatments again. - Do not use more often than once every two weeks. Use more often than is recommended, may increase the risk of skin reactions like redness and/or discoloration and will not increase the effi cacy. 21. What happens if I use Lumea IPL hair removal solution more often than advised? Will I achieve better/faster results and is it safe? - No. Using Philips Lumea more often than recommended will not speed up the hair removal process. An interval of 2 weeks is proven to give the best results on hair reduction because of the three-phased hair regrowth process.
