1. Introduzione
Welcome to the user manual for your Philips Lumea Advanced SC1994/00 IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal device. This device is designed to provide long-lasting hair reduction through gentle pulses of light that put hair follicles into a resting phase. Regular use helps to prevent hair regrowth, leaving your skin smooth.
Please read this manual carefully before using the device for the first time. It contains important safety information, operating instructions, and maintenance tips to ensure optimal results and safe use.
2. Informazioni importanti sulla sicurezza
Before using the Philips Lumea Advanced, it is crucial to understand all safety precautions. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury or damage to the device.
- Sicurezza degli occhi: Never look directly into the light pulse. The device is equipped with an integrated safety system to prevent flashing when not in full contact with the skin. However, it is recommended to use the device in a well-lit room to reduce the perceived brightness of the flash.
- Compatibilità con il tipo di pelle: The Philips Lumea Advanced is effective on a wide range of hair and skin types, but it is not suitable for very dark skin tones or very light (blonde, red, grey) hair. Always perform a skin patch test before full treatment.
- Controindicazioni: Do not use the device on irritated, sunburned, or recently tanned skin. Avoid use over tattoos, permanent makeup, moles, freckles, or varicose veins. Consult a doctor if you have any medical conditions, are pregnant, or breastfeeding.
- Children and Impaired Persons: Tenere il dispositivo fuori dalla portata dei bambini. Questo apparecchio non è destinato all'uso da parte di persone con ridotte capacità fisiche, sensoriali o mentali, o prive di esperienza e conoscenza, a meno che non siano supervisionate o istruite sull'uso dell'apparecchio da una persona responsabile della loro sicurezza.

5. Impostazione
Per preparare il dispositivo all'uso, segui questi passaggi:
- Carica/Connetti alimentazione: Plug the power adapter into the device's power socket and then into a wall outlet. The device is designed for corded use.
- Pelle pulita: Ensure the area you intend to treat is clean, dry, and free of any lotions, oils, or deodorants. Shave the area before treatment; do not wax or epilate, as the hair follicle needs to be present for IPL to be effective.
- Skin Tone Test: Before your first treatment, and whenever you treat a new body area, perform a skin patch test. Select a low intensity setting and flash a small area of skin. Wait 24 hours to check for any adverse reactions. If your skin shows no reaction, you can proceed with treatment, gradually increasing the intensity if comfortable.
6. Istruzioni per l'uso
Using your Philips Lumea Advanced for effective hair reduction:
6.1 Selecting the Right Intensity
The device has multiple intensity settings. Always start with a lower setting and increase it gradually until you find a level that is comfortable and effective for your skin tone and hair color. Refer to the skin tone chart in the full manual (if available) for guidance. The integrated skin tone sensor will prevent flashing if the skin tone is too dark for safe treatment.

- Move the device to the next adjacent area of skin, ensuring you do not treat the same spot twice in one session.
- Continuare fino a quando non è stata trattata tutta l'area desiderata.
6.3 Programma di trattamento

- Fase iniziale (settimane 1-4): Treat every two weeks. Hair reduction should become noticeable during this phase.
- Fase di mantenimento (dopo la settimana 4): Treat every 4-8 weeks, or as needed, to maintain results. The frequency may vary depending on individual hair regrowth.
