FAQs
How often should I use the Lumea 9900 Pro?
Follow the initial treatment schedule in the manual, usually once every two weeks for the first few sessions, followed by touch-ups as needed.
Does it work on all hair colors?
IPL is effective on naturally dark blonde, brown, and black hair but is not effective on red, light blonde, or white/gray hair.
Can I use it on my face?
Yes, use the dedicated curved face attachment designed for safe and precise treatment on facial contours.
Is the device battery-operated?
The Lumea 9900 Pro is designed for consistent power; ensure it is connected to the power outlet during your treatment.
Do I need to wear eye protection?
The device has a built-in safety system that prevents accidental flashing, so special goggles are not typically required, but avoid looking directly at the flash.
Troubleshooting
Device does not flash
Ensure the treatment window is pressed firmly and fully flush against the skin so the safety sensor can activate.
SmartSkin sensor is not detecting skin tone
Clean the sensor window with a dry cloth and ensure the skin area is clean and free of lotions or oils.
The device feels too hot during use
Reduce the intensity setting manually if the skin feels sensitive or uncomfortable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, ensure your skin is clean, dry, and shaved to allow the light pulses to reach the root effectively. Test the device on a small area to verify comfort. To maintain the device, wipe the treatment window with a lint-free cloth after every use and store it in the provided beauty box. It is vital to consult the user manual to confirm if your specific skin tone and hair color are compatible with IPL technology, as it is generally ineffective on very light, gray, or red hair, and very dark skin tones.
