Skin test
Using your Philips Lumea
Skin tone sensor
Attachments
When you use Lumea for the first time or after recent tanning, perform a skin
test on each area to be treated. The skin test is necessary to check your
skin's reaction to the treatment and to determine the correct light intensity
setting for each body area.
1 Choose an area close to the area you intend to treat.
2 Switch on the device. Make sure you select setting 1.
3 Put the device against your skin and press the flash button to release a
flash.
4 Slide the device over the skin to the next area to be treated.
5 Increase the setting by one level, apply a flash and slide the device to the
next area. Repeat this for all levels within the recommended range for
your skin type.
6 After the skin test, wait 24 hours and check your skin for any reaction. If
your skin shows reactions, choose the highest setting that did not result
in any skin reaction for subsequent use. The skin test should be
performed in all the areas you want to treat.
For extra safety the integrated skin tone sensor measures the skin tone at
the beginning of each session and occasionally during the session. If it
detects a skin tone that is too dark for treatment with Lumea, the device
automatically disables to prevent you from developing skin reactions. This
means that it does not emit pulses when you press the flash button.
Placing and removing
To place the attachment, simply snap it onto the light exit window.
