Philips Lumea Épilateur à lumière intense pulsée - Manual (Page 19)

Setting the light intensity
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 higher intensities, 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’.
