use in the comfort of your home. Lumea is gentle and offers convenient and
effective treatment at a light intensity that you find comfortable. Unwanted hairs
are finally a thing of the past.
Lumea has been designed and developed for women, but may be suitable for

and prevent/minimize the risk of injury, skin reactions and side effects.
-This device is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the device by a
person responsible for their safety.
-Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
device. Supervision is required to avoid potential risks such as exposure to the
light output, electrocution, strangulation from the cables or choking on the
attachments.
-For hygienic reasons, the device should only be used by one person.
-This device has a detachable power supply unit. Only use the adapter
provided with this device. The reference number (S036Nz2400150) can be
found on your device. The 'z' in this number refers to the plug type for your

-Keep the device and the adapter dry.
-This device is not washable. Never immerse the device in water and do not
rinse it under the tap.
-Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. Do not use this appliance
in wet surroundings (e.g. near a filled bath, a running shower or a filled
swimming pool). Moisture can damage the device and lead to a potential
safety hazard.
-No modification of this equipment is allowed. Do not modify, override or cut
off any part of the device (e.g. adapter or the cord), as this causes a hazardous
situation.
10 English
-Do not attempt to open or repair your device. Opening Philips Lumea may
expose you to dangerous electrical components and to pulsed light energy,
either of which may cause bodily and/or eye injury.
-Always return the device to a service center authorized by Philips for
examination or repair. Repair by unqualified people could cause an
extremelyhazardous situation for the user.
-Always check the device before you use it. Do not use the device or adapter if
it is damaged. Always replace a damaged part with one of the original type.
-If the device or adapter is broken or damaged, do not touch any inner part to
avoid electric shock.
-Always check the device before you use it. Make sure that the skin tone
sensor window is clean when using the device, to avoid improper operation
(see 'D Clean & store after treatment').
-Do not use the device if the UV filter of the light exit window and/or
attachment is broken, as safe operation cannot be guaranteed under these
circumstances.
-The adapter, light exit window and the filter of the attachments can become
very hot (>210°C/>410°F) during usage. Always let the adapter, the light exit
window as well as the filter and inner parts of the attachments cool down
before you touch them.
-Do not look at the flash while using the device. Use the device in a well-lit
room so that the light is less glaring to your eyes. While not necessary for
safety, you may wear sunglasses or goggles for your convenience if you find
the light uncomfortable or too bright.
-Before you use Lumea, you should clean your skin and make sure it is hair-
free, entirely dry and free from any lotion or gel.
-Do not use hair removal creams in the area (to be) treated with the device, as
chemicals may cause skin reactions.
-Do not use any pencil or pen to mark the areas to be treated. This may cause
burns on your skin.
-Do not treat the same skin area more than once during a session. This may
increase the risk of skin reactions.
-If you experience skin irritation or skin redness after treatment, wait until it
disappears before applying any product to your skin. If you experience skin
irritation after applying a product to your skin, wash it off with water. If you
still get skin reactions, stop using the device and consult your doctor.
-If you notice a skin tone change since the last treatment, we advise you to
perform a skin test and to wait 24 hours before your next treatment.
-Tanning with natural or artificial sunlight might influence the sensitivity and
color of your skin. Perform a skin test to determine the appropriate light
intensity setting.
-If shaving, epilating or waxing causes skin irritation, we advise you not to use
the device until skin irritation has disappeared.
-Hair removal by intense pulsed light sources can cause increased hair growth
in some individuals. Based upon currently available data, the highest risk
groups for this response are females of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and
South Asian heritage treated on the face and neck.
-Follow the recommended treatment schedule. Increasing the frequency,
especially in the initial phase, can increase the risk of skin reactions.

English
How IPL works
1
With Intense Pulsed Light technology, gentle pulses of light are applied to the
skin and absorbed by the hair root. The lighter the skin and the darker the hair,
the better the pulses of light are absorbed.
2
The pulses of light stimulate the hair follicle to go into a resting phase. As a
consequence, the hair sheds naturally and hair regrowth is prevented.
3
The cycle of hair growth consists of different phases. IPL technology is only
effective when the hair is in its growing phase. Not all hairs are in the growing
phase at the same time. This is why we recommend you to follow the initial
treatment phase (4treatments, every treatment 2weeks apart) and then the
follow-up treatment phase (touch-ups every 4weeks) to make sure all hairs are
effectively treated in the growing phase.
Tip: To assure long lasting hair removal, touch-ups every 4 weeks are
recommended.
Suitable body hair colors
Treatment with Lumea is not effective if you have light blond, grey, red or white
hairs as hairs with these colors do not absorb enough light. To check if your body
hair color allows usage of the device, consult the hair color table on the foldout
page.
12 English
Recommended treatment schedule
Initial phase
To achieve effective hair reduction, follow the initial treatment schedule.
Initial treatment schedule
For the first 4 treatments, use Lumea once every two weeks to ensure that all
hairs are treated.
-Treat yourself within 3 days before or after the planned treatment date.
-If you have not treated yourself within 3 days before or after the planned
treatment date, restart the initial phase. Plan in 4 treatments, one treatment
every two weeks.
Note: If you do not restart the initial phase, you may not see effective hair
reduction.
Note: Replacing one of the IPL treatments with another hair removal method
(waxing, epilating, etc.) will not help to reach the desired hair reduction.
If you want to remove hairs in between the Lumea treatments, you can use your
normal hair removal method (excluding hair removal creams).
Touch-up phase
After the initial phase (4 treatments), we recommend touch-ups every 4 weeks.
Touch-up treatment schedule
Treat yourself every 4 weeks. Repeat this 8 times to achieve effective hair
reduction. This is to maintain results and enjoy smooth skin for months.
-We advise you to treat yourself within 4 days before or after the planned
treatment date.
-The results may vary based on your individual hair regrowth and also across
different body areas.
-If you have completed the touch-up phase and you see the need to continue
treatment (hair starts coming back), we advise you to restart the initial phase.
Note: Using the device more often does not enhance the effectiveness.
Tip: Mark the treatment schedule on your calendar to remind yourself of the
planned treatments.
What to expect
After initial phase
-Afterthe first treatment, it can take 1 to 2 weeks for the hairs to fall out. In
the first weeks following the initial treatments, you still see some hairs
growing.These are likely to be hairs that were not in their growing phase
during the first treatments.
-After 2-3 treatments, you should see a noticeable reduction in hair growth.
However, to effectively treat all hairs, it is important to keep on treating
according to the recommended treatment schedule.
13
English
-After 4 treatments, you should see a significant reduction of hair growth in
the areas that you treated with Lumea. A reduction of hair density should be
visible as well.
During touch-up phase
-Keep on treating with frequent touch-ups (every 4 weeks) to maintain the
result.
How to use your Lumea
A Remove hair & clean your skin
1Remove hair before every treatment as long as hair is still visible. You can
either shave, epilate or wax. Make sure you start to treat before new hair is
visible on your skin. If you choose to wax, wait 24 hours before you use
Lumea.
2Clean and dry your skin. Make sure that it is free from any lotion or gel.
B Test skin 24 hours before treatment
1Test your skin to find the correct light setting:
-For every new body area.
-After recent tanning.
14 English
2Select the correct attachment to test your skin (see 'Attachments').
There is one for the body, face (below the cheekbone) and bikini area,
depending on the product version (see 'Attachments').
3Press the on/off button to turn on the device.
4Choose an area for your skin test.
5Press the device firmly onto your skin and hold it in place.
The integrated safety system prevents unintentional flashingwithout full skin
contact.
6Confirm that the 'READY to flash' light lights up white to ensure that there is
full contact with your skin.
-If the 'READY to flash' light is orange, your skin is too dark to treat. Try Lumea
on a lighter body area.

7Try each setting on your skin if comfortable:
-When the 'READY to flash' light is white, press the flash button on the handle
once, to treat one spot with setting
The device makes a soft popping sound. The flash gives you a warm
sensation.
• You will see a flash of light •
Note: You can toggle through the light intensity settings by pressing the
on/off button (see 'Selecting the light intensity').

C Treatment
IMPORTANT: First finish sections A (Remove hair & clean your skin) and B (Test
skin 24 hours before treatment).
1Connect the power adapter to the device and plug into a power outlet.
2Press the on/off button to turn on the device.
3Choose the setting you selected after the skin test (section B, step 9).
4Press the device firmly onto your skin and hold it in place. The 'READY to
flash' light should light up white.
5Press the flash button to release a flash on your skin. The flash treats the skin
in that spot. The device makes a soft popping sound. The flash gives you a
warm sensation.
After each flash, it takes up to 3.5 seconds until the device is ready to flash
again. You can release a flash when the 'READY to flash' light lights up white.
6Move to an adjacent spot and press the flash button again. The surface of the
attachment that is in contact with your skin is slightly larger than the light exit
window. The surface of the attachment should overlap the previous spot to
make sure you flash the complete skin area. DO NOT flash the same spot
more than 3times.
7Continue until you have treated the full area. There are two treatment modes
(see 'Two treatment modes: Stamp & Flash and Slide & Flash').
8Turn off the device when you finished the treatment.

Learning more about your Lumea
Attachments
For optimal results, it is important to use the correct attachment intended for the
specific body area you want to treat. Lumea offers full-body treatment with up
to three attachments designed for use on specific body areas.
Note: The device may not work anymore and show an error when there is dirt on
the attachment connector. Clean the contact leads when this occurs.
To place the attachment, simply snap it onto the light exit window.
To remove the attachment, pull it off the light exit window.
Body attachment
The body attachment has the largest treatment window to effectively cover and
treat areas below the neckline, especially large areas such as legs, arms and
stomach.
Facial attachment (SC1997, SC1998, SC1999)
The facial attachment has an extra integrated filter for safe and precise
treatment on the sensitive skin above the upper lip, chin and sideburns. The
device is only intended for removing unwanted body hair from areas below the
cheekbones.
When you use the device on areas with sharp contours like the jawline and chin,
it may be difficult to establish full skin contact and release a flash.
Tip: Place your tongue between your upper lip and your teeth or puff out your
cheeks to make the treatment easier.
19
English
Bikini attachment (SC1998, SC1999)
The bikini attachment is designed for effective treatment of the bikini area. Hair
in this area tends to be thicker and stronger than leg hair.
Skin tone sensor
Lumea has an integrated skin tone sensor which measures the skin tone at the
start of each session and during the session.
The skin tone sensor prevents you to treat areas of your skin that are too dark. If
it detects a skin tone that is too dark for treatment with Lumea, the ‘READY to
flash' light starts blinking orange. It does not flash when you press the flash
button. The device automatically disables. This prevents you from developing
skin reactions.
Selecting the light intensity
Lumea provides 5 different light intensities, you will always be able to change to
a light intensity setting you find comfortable.
1Press the on/off button to turn on the device and select the desired light
intensity.
2To adjust the light intensity setting, use the on/off button until you have
reached the required setting.
Skin sensitivity can differ per person. Therefore, the skin test is the most
important guide for selecting your light intensity setting (see 'B Test skin 24
hours before treatment').
3Using Lumea should never be painful. If you experience discomfort, reduce
the light intensity setting.
Note: The device is automatically disabled when your skin tone is too dark
(brownish black or darker), to prevent you from developing skin reactions.
The ‘READY to flash’ light will blink orange to indicate if the skin tone is too
dark.
4After moving to another body area or after recent tanning (see 'Using your
Lumea before and after tanning'), perform a skin test to determine a
comfortable light intensity setting. To re-activate the setting indication
feature, turn on the device.
Note: Perform a skin test before you start to treat another body area or after a
skin tone change. Determine the light intensity setting for each body area
separately.
20 English
Two treatment modes: Stamp & Flash and Slide &
Flash
YourPhilips Lumea has two treatment modes for more convenient use on
different body areas:
-The Stamp & Flash mode is ideal to treat small orcurvy areas like knees and
underarms. Simply press and releasethe flash button to release a single flash.
-The Slide & Flash mode offers convenient use on larger areas like legs. Keep
the flash button pressed while you slide the device over your skinto release
several flashes in a row.
