Setting The Light Intensity - Philips Lumea Plus TT3003 Manual De Instrucciones

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 attachment due
to contamination can cause the treatment to become painful or cause
skin reactions like redness and discolouration (hyperpigmentation or
hypopigmentation).
2 Clean 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).
3 Check the appliance, especially the light exit window and the
body 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 might feel uncomfortable sometimes.
- Once the hairs stop growing back - which usually happens after
6-7 treatments - you no longer have to shave before you use the
appliance.

Setting the light intensity

Philips Lumea Plus for men is an appliance developed for home use and
therefore not comparable with professional light-based appliances with
respect to pain sensation. Pulses of light delivered by Philips Lumea Plus for
men are gentler than those from professional appliances and therefore you
can expect a convenient and effective treatment.
Adjust the light intensity to your skin and body hair colour and to a level
you find comfortable.
The table with recommended light intensities below helps you to establish
the right light intensity.
1 Consult the table below to determine which light intensities are most
suitable for your skin and body hair colour and to check if this method
is suitable for you (if it is not, this is indicated with x in the table).
2 Each body area and possibly even parts of a body area may require a
separate appropriate light intensity according to the recommended
light intensities table below. The method is more effective at higher
intensities, but you should reduce the light intensity if you experience
any pain or discomfort.
Persons with darker skin run a higher risk of skin irritation because their
skin absorbs more light. Therefore lower intensities are recommended
for persons with darker skin.
The light intensity you use can feel warm or hot on the skin, but should
never feel uncomfortable. To prevent skin reactions, see chapter 'Using
the appliance', section 'Possible side effects and skin reactions'.
