First use and skin test
Subsequent use
When you use the appliance for the first time, we
advise you to perform a skin test on the area to be
treated to check your skin's reaction to the
treatment and to get accustomed to light-based
treatment.
1 Choose an area close to the intended treatment
area.
2 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
-
Intensity light 1 goes on automatically to
indicate that the appliance is switched on at
default intensity 1.
3 Apply one flash at the lowest recommended
intensity for your skin type.
4 As long as it feels comfortable (not painful),
increase the setting by one level within the
recommended range for your skin type and
apply one flash for each setting. Do not apply
more than one flash on the same spot.
5 After the skin test, wait for 24 hours and check
your skin for any reaction. If the skin shows
reactions, choose the highest setting that did not
result in any skin reaction for subsequent use.
1 Before every treatment, clean the body
attachment, light exit window and metallic
frame of Philips Lumea Plus for men.
