Preparing for use

For optimal results and greatest effect, prepare the areas on which you intend to use the appliance in the manner described below.

Preparing treatment areas

1Shave the areas you intend to treat as long as you still experience hair regrowth.

Note: If your last depilation method involved removing hairs by the roots (e.g epilating, waxing etc.), wait until you notice significant hair regrowth before you use Philips Lumea Precision Plus. Do not use depilatory creams instead of shaving.

Please note that treatment on unshaved or improperly shaved areas has a number of undesired effects:

-- The light exit window and attachment may become contaminated with stray hairs and dirt. A contaminated light exit window and attachment can reduce the life and efficacy of the appliance. In addition, burns or black spots that appear on the light exit window and attachments due to contamination can cause the treatment to become painful or cause skin reactions like redness and discolouration.

-- Hairs on your skin can burn, which can result in an unpleasant smell.

2Clean your skin and make sure it is hair-free, entirely dry and free from oily substances (e.g. present in cosmetic products like deodorants, lotions, perfumes, tanning creams and sunscreens).

3Check the appliance, especially the light exit window and attachment, for trapped hair, dust and fibres. If you see any contamination, clean the appliance according to the instructions in chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.

Notes:

-- If shaving causes wounds or lesions, your skin may be more sensitive and the light treatment may sometimes feel uncomfortable.

-- Once the hairs stop growing back, which usually happens after 4-5 treatments, you no longer have to shave before you use the

appliance.
