6.1 Preparazione al trattamento

• Rimuovi i peli: Before each treatment, ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free of hair. Shave the area to be treated. Do not wax, epilate, or pluck hair from the roots, as IPL targets the hair root.

6.2 Selecting the Correct Intensity Level

2. Select the highest setting that feels comfortable and does not cause pain or irritation.

• Slide and Flash (for larger areas):

7. Compatibilità tra tipo di pelle e tipo di capelli

The Philips Lumea IPL device is designed for a wide range of hair and skin types, but it is not universally suitable. For optimal results and safety, please note the following:

• Efficace su: Dark blonde, brown, and black hair.
• Not effective on: Red, light blonde, white, or grey hair. These hair colors contain too little melanin to absorb the light pulses effectively.
• Non adatto per: Very dark skin tones. IPL technology relies on the contrast between hair pigment and skin pigment. Very dark skin contains high levels of melanin, which can absorb too much light energy, potentially causing skin irritation or burns.

Always refer to the detailed skin tone and hair color chart provided in the comprehensive user manual to determine if the device is suitable for you.

8. Programma di trattamento

For best results, follow the recommended treatment schedule:

• Fase iniziale: Treat every two weeks for the first 4-5 treatments. This helps to target hair in its active growth phase.
• Fase di manutenzione: After the initial phase, repeat treatments every 4-8 weeks or as needed to maintain results. Hair regrowth will become sparser and finer over time.

Individual results may vary. Consistency is key for achieving optimal hair reduction.
