Philips Lumea 9900 Pro guide: Our new generation IPL

Philips Lumea 9900 Pro guide: features

The Philips Lumea 9900 Pro is designed for rapid, long-term hair reduction, offering up to 5 years of smooth skin*. SmartSkin sensors make it simpler to get started by recommending the right intensity for your skin type, and sessions are 30% faster** thanks to its easy-to-use design.

For full body hair removal, make the most of the Philips Lumea 9900 Pro attachments. These include:

• A curved attachment for IPL in sensitive areas, ensuring the device follows the natural contours of your body.
• A face attachment with a built-in UV filter for essential skin protection.

The Lumea 9900 Pro also connects to the Lumea app, which acts as a real-time personal coach during treatment. Through audio and visual feedback, it helps you feel more confident that you are using the device correctly and covering each area effectively.

Its advanced personal coaching features include:

• Real-time motion guidance: The app tracks how you move the device across your skin and guides your movement as you treat. This supports precise, even coverage and can help you avoid missing areas.
• Audio and visual feedback during treatment: As you go, the app tells you what to do next and provides clear visual prompts. It can confirm when you are on track or alert you when you may have missed a spot.
• Skin-contact and positioning guidance: Real-time feedback helps ensure the device is properly aligned against the skin. This is especially useful when treating curves or harder-to-reach areas of the body.
• Smart progress reports: After each session, the app provides a treatment report and progress tracking to help you monitor results, refine your technique over time and see when your next session should be for the best results.

With our latest IPL, you could see more than 80% hair reduction in just two sessions***, making it our most efficient device to date.

How to use a Philips Lumea 9900 Pro

The Philips Lumea 9900 Pro is designed to be intuitive and easy to use, even if you’re new to IPL.

Before you begin, prepare the skin by removing any visible hair from the area you’re going to treat. You can shave on the same day, or wax or epilate the day before. Make sure your skin is clean, dry, and free from products such as moisturiser or body oil.

Once your skin is prepared, follow these steps on how to use your Philips Lumea 9900 Pro:

1. Download and open the Philips Lumea IPL App: Pair your Philips Lumea 9900 Pro with the app via Bluetooth.

2. Carry out a skin test: Before your first treatment, test the device on a small area of skin and wait 24 hours. If no reaction occurs, you can treat the rest of the area. If you notice irritation, lower the light intensity and test again.

3. Choose your light-intensity setting: Use the SmartSkin sensor to select a comfortable setting suited to your skin tone.

4. Start your treatment session in the app: Switch on your device and begin the session in the app so you can access personalised coaching throughout treatment.

5. Position the device against your skin: Hold the Lumea flat against the skin and wait for the “Ready to flash” light to appear.

6. Treat the area in a straight line: Press the flash button, then move steadily across the area using a slide-stop-flash motion to support even coverage.

7. Follow the app’s real-time audio and visual guidance: The app talks you through treatment as you go, helping you understand:

   1. Where to move the device next

   2. When to reposition it

   3. When you may have missed a spot

This guidance can help you feel more confident that you are covering the area thoroughly and treating effectively.

8. Review your smart treatment report: After treatment, the app generates a report so you can track progress, monitor your sessions and refine your technique over time.

While side effects are uncommon, it’s possible that you’ll experience erythema (redness) and pain following a session.¹

After treatment, your skin may be more sensitive than usual. Avoid scratching or rubbing the area and wait at least 5 days before shaving. For the first 48 hours, it’s best to avoid applying products such as make-up, moisturiser, or suncream directly to the treated area. After this period, be sure to apply SPF regularly to help protect your skin from sunlight.²

If you notice any unusual reactions, such as blistering or scabbing, seek advice from a medical professional.

FAQs: Philips Lumea: How does it work?

How to use Philips Lumea Pro 9900 on the bikini area

Use the curved attachment designed for sensitive areas and begin with a lower intensity setting if you’re new to IPL. Make sure your skin is clean, dry, and freshly shaved before treatment, then glide or stamp the device carefully along the bikini line while maintaining full skin contact.

How to use Philips Lumea Pro 9900 on your face

Attach the precision face attachment with the built-in UV filter before using the Philips Lumea 9900 Pro on your face. Use the device only below the cheekbones and avoid the eye area, ensuring skin is clean and makeup-free before starting your session.

How long does Philips Lumea Pro 9900 take to work?

You can expect to see significant hair reduction of 80% or more after just 2 treatments***.
