ENGLISH 7

Cordless operation for maximum freedom and exibility
Becausetheappliancerunsonrechargeablebatteries,itisportable
andcanbeusedanywhere.
Long-lasting battery for complete body treatment
Afullychargedbatteryprovidesacompletebodytreatment(underarms,
bikinilineandlowerlegs)inonego,withoutrechargingbreaks.*
*Basedontheaveragetreatmenttimesforeachareaandthe
recommendedintensitiesforoneuser.
No replacement parts needed, no hidden costs
PhilipsLumeaisequippedwithahigh-performancelampwhichdoesnot
requirereplacement.Thislampcangenerateover100,000ashes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.
How Philips’ Intense Pulsed Light technology works
Hair growth
Hairgrowthratesdifferfrompersontoperson,dependingonage,
metabolismandotherfactors.However,everyone’shairnormally
growsin3phases.
1 Growingphase(anagenphase)
Thehairgrowsactivelyfromtheroot.Inthisphasetheconcentrationof
melaninishighest.Melaninisresponsibleforthepigmentationofthehair.
Melaninconcentrationisalsothedeterminingfactorfortheefcacyofthis
method.Onlyhairsinthegrowingphasearesusceptibletotreatmentwith
light.
2 Degradationphase(catagenphase)
Hairgrowthstopsandtherootshrinksbeforethehairsheds.
3 Restingphase(telogenphase)
Theoldhairseparatesfromitshairfollicleandsheds.Thefollicleremains
atrestuntilthebiologicalclocktellsittobecomeactiveagainandgrowa
newhair.
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.
- Inbetweentreatments,hairshedsnaturallyandregrowthisinhibited.
Hairscantakeoneortwoweekstoshed.
ENGLISH8

- Optimalhairremovalcannotbeobtainedwithasinglesession,since
onlyhairsinthegrowingphasearesusceptibletotreatmentwithlight.
Duringatreatment,hairsonthetreatedareaareusuallyindifferent
stagesofthehairgrowthcycle.Toeffectivelytreatallhairsyouhaveto
repeatthetreatmenteverytwoweeksforafewtimes.
AnintegratedopticallterensuresthatnoUVlightreachestheskin
andguaranteesthattheapplianceissafefortheskin.
