Working principle

The appliance works by heating up the hair and
root beneath the skin. The melanin in the hair
and hair root absorbs the released light pulses.
The darker the colour of the hair, the more light
can be absorbed. This process stimulates the
hair to go into the resting phase. The hair now
sheds naturally and the hair growth is inhibited.
Hairs can take one or two weeks to shed. Optimal
hair removal cannot be obtained with a single
session, since only hairs in the growing phase
are susceptible to treatment with light. During a
treatment, hairs on the treated area are usually
in different stages of the hair growth cycle. To
effectively treat all hairs you have to repeat the
treatment every two weeks for a few times. An
integrated optical filter ensures that no UV light
reaches the skin and guarantees that the appliance
is safe for the skin.
What effect can you expect after treatment?
-
After you have treated the hairs every two
weeks two to four times (depending on your
skin/hair type and the intensity setting), you
notice that hair growth decreases and that the
hairs that grow back are softer.
-
After you have treated the hairs six to eight
times (depending on your skin/hair type and
the intensity setting), you notice that most of
the hairs do not return.
-
After you have treated the hairs eight times,
continue to use the Lumea Plus for men to
maintain a smooth skin (see 'Maintenance phase').
-
If you stop using the Lumea Plus for men, the
hairs start to regrow after some time.
