English Introduction Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benefit from the support that Philips offers, register your product at www.philips.com/lumeaformen. Light-based hair removal is one of the most effective methods to treat unwanted body hair with longer-lasting results. It is different form current home hair removal methods because it significantly reduces hair regrowth. Philips has been investigating this method together with leading dermatologists for over 10 years.
English 7 Benefits This appliance provides the following benefits: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology for home use Philips Lumea Plus for men uses a light-based technology called ‘Intense Pulsed Light’ (IPL). IPL is also used in the professional beauty market for hair removal and has been in use for the last fifteen years. Philips Lumea Plus for men now brings this innovative technology to the comfort of your home.
English No replacement parts needed, no hidden costs Philips Lumea Plus for men is equipped with a high-performance lamp which does not require replacement. This lamp can generate over 100,000 flashes and should enable you to continuously maintain results for more than 5 years* while saving money on expensive replacement lamps. *Based on the average treatment times for each area and the recommended intensities for one user.
English 9 Working principle The appliance works by heating up the hair and root beneath the skin. The melanin in the hair and hair root absorbs the released light pulses. The darker the colour of the hair, the more light can be absorbed. This process stimulates the hair to go into the resting phase. The hair now sheds naturally and the hair growth is inhibited. Hairs can take one or two weeks to shed.
