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 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 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.
