Follow the indicated treatment schedule. Use the Philips Lumea IPL app to plan your next treatments and set reminders.
Before your first treatment on each body area or after exposing your skin to sunlight unprotected, do a skin test by following the steps in section ‘Test your skin’.
Wait 24 hours after the skin test before you start your treatment phase.
During the treatment phase which lasts 4 treatments, perform a treatment every 2 weeks.
Perform a treatment within 3 days before or after the planned treatment date during the treatment phase.
After the treatment phase, use your Lumea once every 4 weeks to maintain results. Perform a treatment within 4 days before or after the planned treatment date during the touch-up phase.
Note: If you miss a treatment, consult chapter ‘Troubleshooting’ in the manual for guidance. If you deviate from the treatment schedule, you may not achieve the intended results.
