Light-based hair removal is one of the most effective methods to treat unwanted body hair with longer-lasting results. [. . . ] First use and skin test 1 Choose the attachment appropriate for the area you intend to treat. English 17 Note: Before you use the appliance on the upper lip, chin or sideburns, choose a mole- and hair-free area below your ear to perform the skin test. 4 Apply one flash at the lowest recommended intensity for your skin type (for instructions on how to release a flash, see steps 6 to 9 of section ‘Subsequent use’ in this chapter). 5 As long as it feels comfortable (not painful), increase the setting by one level within the recommended range for your skin type and apply one flash for each setting. 6 After the skin test, wait for 24 hours and check your skin for any reaction. If your skin shows reactions,  choose the highest setting that did not result in any skin reaction for subsequent use. When you use the appliance for the first time, we advise you to perform a skin test on the area to be treated to check your skin’s reaction to the treatment and to get accustomed to light-based treatment. Subsequent use 1 Before every treatment, clean the attachments, the light exit window and the metallic frame inside the attachments of Philips Lumea Precision. For more information see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’. 2 Choose the attachment appropriate for the area you intend to treat. Note: It is normal that the appliance and the attachment become warm during use. 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. 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. Use a lower setting on darker pigmented, more sensitive skin in the bikini area. [. . . ] The light intensity Check if you have selected the right light intensity. You did not shave the areas to be treated You treated an area for which the appliance is not intended. the light exit window or reddish filter glass of the attachment is broken. If shaving causes skin irritation, trim hairs as short as possible and use a comfortable setting. [. . . ]
