Philips SC2003 user manual Using the appliance on the underarms, How to achieve optimal results

20ENGLISH

In principle, Philips Lumea Precision Plus 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 used 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.

Using the appliance on the face (upper lip, chin, sideburns)

Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for

your face (upper lip, chin, sideburns).

Always use only the precision attachment to treat the upper lip, chin and sideburns. Never use the appliance around the eyes or near the eyebrows. When you treat your upper lip, chin or sideburns, make sure you do not expose your face to direct sunlight in the 24 hours following the treatment. Apply a sunblock (SPF 30+) after the treatment for the next two weeks when you expose your face to direct sunlight.

Tip:To achieve optimal results on your upper lip, chin and sideburns stand in front of a mirror to get a good view of the area to be treated and the ‘ready to flash’ light.

Tip: Apply a thick layer of white eyeliner to your lip and lip margin.This white line ensures the energy of the flash is reflected and does not touch your lip if you flash the lip unintentionally.

Tip: Because of the contours of the jaws, it may be difficult to bring the safety ring into full contact with the skin and to release a flash. Put your tongue between your teeth and upper lip or puff up your cheeks to make this easier.

Tip:The reflected light does not harm your eyes. If the scattered light is unpleasant, close your eyes when you release a flash.

How to achieve optimal results

-- It is normal that hairs are still visible after the first few treatments (see chapter ‘Introduction’, section ‘Working principle’ for more information).

-- To remove all hairs successfully and prevent the hair follicle from becoming active again, the treatments have to be repeated once every

two weeks for the first two months.Your skin should be smooth and hair-free by then. Please read section ‘Maintenance phase’ to find out

how you can keep these results.
