- Bikini area attachment (SC2008 only)
 The bikini area attachment has a special lter for treating
the bikini area.The attachment is optimised for effective hair
reductioninthebikiniarea.Ithasbeenspecicallydesigned
to remove the coarser hairs in this area.You can also use the
bikini area attachment on the underarms.
Do not use the bikini area attachment on the face.
3Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
4Press the intensity increase/decrease button up or down to
change the intensity (from 1 to 5).
5Place the appliance at a 90° angle on the skin so that the
attachment and the safety ring are in contact with the skin.
6Press the safety ring fully onto the skin with slight pressure.
When all contact switches of the appliance are in contact
with the skin, the ‘ready to ash’ light on the back of the
appliance lights up green.

7Press the ash button to release a ash. Now you have
2 options to release the next ash:
A Keeptheashbuttonpressed.Theappliancereleasesone
ashafteranotheraslongasthesafetyringisinfullcontact
withtheskin.Immediatelyaftertheappliancehasashed,slide
the appliance to the next area. Make sure the safety ring is
fully pressed onto the skin.
This‘Slide&Flashmode’isespeciallyconvenientfortreatmentof
larger areas like the legs.
B Letgooftheashbuttonaftereachash.Forthenextash,
place the appliance on the area right next to the previously
ashedarea.Makesurethesafetyringisfullypressedonto
the skin.
This‘Step&Flashmode’guaranteesaprecisetreatmentof
e.g.theupperlip,kneesorankles.
Note: After a few seconds, the appliance is ready to ash again,
so make sure that you move it to the next area immediately after
it has ashed.
Do not treat exactly the same area multiple times during
one session.This does not improve the effectiveness of the
treatment, but increases the risk of skin reactions.
8To avoid untreated areas, always make sure there is some
overlap with the previously treated area when you place
the appliance on the skin.
9Switch off the appliance after you have nished the
treatment.
10 If there is any dirt on the attachment and/or the light exit
window, clean it before you store the appliance in the case.
If necessary, moisten the supplied cloth with water or high
percentage alcohol for cleaning. See chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’ in the user manual for more information.
Tip:White eye pencil
To help you remember what part of your skin you have
alreadytreated,youcanmarksectionsonyourlegwith
a white eye pencil.

3 cm

1 Take a white eye pencil and draw a line on your leg.
Start at any point of your leg and draw a straight line.
2 Draw additional lines at a distance of 3cm from the rst line
if you use the appliance horizontally or at a distance of 1cm
if you use the appliance vertically.
Perform the treatment section by section. If you need to take a
breakduringasession,justmarkthelasttreatedareawiththe
same eye pencil and resume the treatment later.
Note: Only use a white eye pencil. Any other colour absorbs the
light and may cause skin irritation.
After treatment
Wait at least 24 hours or until all redness has disappeared before
you expose treated areas to the sun. Cover treated areas when you
go out into the sun or use a sunblock (SPF 30+) in the two weeks
after treatment.
How to achieve optimal results
- To remove all hairs successfully and prevent the hair follicle
frombecomingactiveagain,useLumeaPrecisionPlusevery
twoweeksfortherst4to5treatments(morefrequent
treatments do not lead to faster or better results).
- Inbetweentreatments,thehairshedsnaturallyandhair
regrowth is inhibited.Your skin should be smooth by then.
Toensurethatyourskinstayssmooth,simplyrepeattreatment
when needed.The time between treatments may vary based
on your individual hair regrowth and also may vary from body
areatobodyarea.Tomaintainthebestresults,werecommend
repeating the treatment every 4 to 8 weeks.
- Foraneffectivetreatment,shavetheareatobetreatedbefore
youusetheapplianceaslongasyoustillexperienceregrowth,
whichisusuallythecasefortherstfewtreatments.
