Introduction

from the support that Philips offers, register your product at

www.philips.com/welcome.

Light-based hair removal is one of the most effective methods to

treat unwanted body hair with longer-lasting results. It is different from

current home hair removal methods because it signicantly reduces hair

regrowth. Philips has been investigating this method together with leading

dermatologists for over 15 years.You can now use this innovative technology

comfortably in the privacy of your own home, whenever you want.

This appliance has been specically designed and optimised for use by

women, but can be used by men as well.

Philips Lumea Essential enables treatment of unwanted hair on all areas

below the cheekbones, including the face (upper lip, chin and cheeks),

using two tailored attachments.

Philips Lumea Essential is designed for individual use only. For hygienic

reasons and to ensure a longer life time, we advise you not to share

the appliance with others.

For more information about Philips Lumea Essential, see

www.philips.com/lumea. Check our homepage regularly for updates.

Benets

This appliance provides the following benets:

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology for home use

Philips Lumea Essential 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 over fteen years. Philips Lumea Essential

now brings this innovative technology to the comfort of your home.

Effective hair regrowth 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 after

only 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. For more information, see section

‘How to achieve optimal results’ in chapter ‘Using the appliance’.

Gentle treatment, even on sensitive body areas

Philips Lumea Essential has been developed in close cooperation with

licensed dermatologists for an effective and gentle treatment, even on the

most sensitive body areas.The precision attachment even allows you to

safely use the appliance on your face.

No replacement lamps needed, no hidden costs

Philips Lumea Essential is equipped with a high-performance lamp which

does not require replacement. This lamp can generate over 100,000 ashes

and should enable you to continuously maintain results for more than

5 years* while saving money on expensive replacement lamps.

*Based on average usage scenario and recommended treatment regime

for one user.

ENGLISH

How Philips’ Intense Pulsed Light technology works

Hair growth

Hair growth differs from person to person, depending on age, metabolism

and other factors. However, everyone’s hair normally grows in 3 phases.

1 Growing phase (anagen phase)

The hair grows actively from the root. In this phase the concentration of

melanin is highest. Melanin is responsible for the colour of the hair. Melanin

concentration is also the determining factor for the efcacy of the Intense

Pulsed Light technology. Only hairs in the growing phase are susceptible to

treatment with light.

2 Degradation phase (catagen phase)

Hair growth stops and the root shrinks before the hair sheds.

3 Resting phase (telogen phase)

The old hair is shed.The follicle remains at rest until the biological clock

tells it to become active again and grow a new hair.

Working principle

- The appliance works by heating up the hair and root beneath the skin.

The melanin in the hair and hair root absorbs the energy from the

light pulses.The darker the colour of the hair, the more light will be

absorbed.This process stimulates the hair to go into the resting phase.

- In between treatments, hair sheds naturally and regrowth is inhibited.

After the treatment, i t can take one or two weeks for the hair to shed.

- Optimal hair reduction cannot be obtained with a single session, since

only hairs in the growing phase are susceptible to treatment with light.

During a treatment, hairs on the treated area are usually in different

stages of the hair growth cycle.To effectively treat all hairs you have to

repeat the treatment once every two weeks for the rst two months.

An integrated optical lter ensures that no UV light reaches the skin

and ensures that the appliance is safe for the skin when used according to

the guidelines.
