Benets
This appliance provides the following benets:
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology for home use
Philips Lumea uses a light-based technology called ‘Intense Pulsed Light’
(IPL). IPL is also used in the professional beauty market for hair removal
and has been in use for the last fteen years. Philips Lumea now brings this
innovative technology to the comfort of your home.
Effective hair re-growth prevention for everyday smoothness
This method provides you with long-lasting hair regrowth prevention and
silky-smooth skin. Our studies have shown a signicant hair reduction
already after two treatments. Optimal results were generally achieved after
four to ve treatments. A reduction in hair density is visible from treatment
to treatment. How fast the effect becomes visible and how long the results
last varies from person to person. To treat all hairs successfully and prevent
the hair root from becoming active again, the treatments have to be
repeated once every two weeks for the rst two months. Your skin should
be smooth and hair-free by then. To ensure that you keep these results, we
advise you to repeat treatments on the underarms and bikini line every
two weeks. On the legs, regrowth is usually slower. Therefore, a treatment
once every four weeks is probably sufcient to keep your legs smooth
and hair-free. If you see too many hairs grow back within these four weeks,
simply shorten the interval between treatments again, but do not treat
more often than once every two weeks.
Gentle treatment, even on sensitive body areas
Philips Lumea has been developed in close cooperation with leading
dermatologists for an effective and gentle treatment, even on the most
sensitive body areas.
Cordless operation for maximum freedom and exibility
Because the appliance runs on rechargeable batteries, it is portable and can
be used anywhere.
Lamp does not require replacement
Philips Lumea has a lamp with a capacity of 40,000 ashes, which is enough
to last the product’s lifetime if used according to the instructions.
