Philips Lumea Precision IPL Haarentfernungssystem - Manual (Page 20)

- You can move the appliance up and down or across the leg, whichever
is more convenient to you.
Note: Bony areas like shinbone and ankles are more sensitive than other areas
of the body. When you press the attachment hard onto these areas, the skin
can be more susceptible to skin reactions, such as skin irritation and redness.
See section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’ in this chapter. Press the
attachment onto the skin just hard enough to make the ‘ready to flash’ light go
on, but not harder.
Tip: The appliance may leave imprints on the skin in the treated areas. These
imprints may show you where you can make the treated areas overlap.
If you use the appliance to treat both your lower and upper legs, you may
have to recharge the appliance during the treatment. This is normal. How
long you can use the appliance depends on the size of the treatment area
and the intensity setting used.
Tip: Many users combine leg treatments with other activities around the house
such as watching TV or listening to music. You can also try this to make the
experience more enjoyable and relaxing.
using the appliance in the bikini area
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for
your bikini area.
In principle, Philips Lumea Precision is safe and gentle enough for treatment
of the entire bikini area (e.g. for ‘Brazilian’ or ‘Hollywood’ style). Use a lower
setting on darker pigmented, more sensitive skin in the bikini area. Do not
use the appliance on inner labia, vagina and anus. Men who wish to treat
their pubic area must not use the appliance on the scrotum.
Note: For hygienic reasons, always clean the attachment used before you start
treating another body area.
using the appliance on the underarms
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for
your underarms.
Make sure you remove any deodorant, perfume, cream or other skin care
product from your underarms before treatment.
Tip: To achieve optimal results on your underarms, stand in front of a mirror to
get a good view of the area to be treated and the ‘ready to flash’ light. Raise
your arm and place your hand in your neck to stretch the skin in the underarm
area. In this way the safety ring can be pressed more easily onto the skin,
which makes the treatment easier to perform.
Note: The reflected light does not harm your eyes. If the scattered light is
unpleasant, close your eyes when you release a flash.
using the appliance on the face (upper lip, chin, sideburns)
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for
your face (upper lip, chin, sideburns).
