Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Charge the Device: Before first use, ensure your Philips Lumea device is fully charged for cordless operation. Connect it to the power adapter until the charging indicator signals completion.
- Download the App: Install the Philips Lumea IPL app on your smartphone for personalized guidance and treatment scheduling.
Compatibility
- Hair Color Compatibility: The device is effective on a wide range of hair colors. However, it is not suitable for white/grey, light blonde, or red hair due to insufficient melanin for the IPL technology to target.
- Skin Tone Compatibility: It can be used on a wide range of skin tones. Crucially, it is not suitable for very dark skin tones, as the high melanin content can absorb too much light, leading to potential skin irritation.
Always refer to the skin tone chart in your user manual to determine if the device is safe for your complexion.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, it is recommended to clean the treatment window and the curved body attachment with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth to ensure optimal hygiene and performance. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
