Light-based hair removal is one of the most effective methods to
treat unwanted body hair with longer-lasting results. It is different from
current home hair removal methods because it signicantly reduces hair
regrowth. Philips Lumea Essential enables treatment of unwanted hair on
body areas below the neckline.
Philips takes your safety seriously. Please read the user manual, including
all safety precautions and warnings, before you use the appliance for the
rst time to ensure correct, safe and proper use. This quick start guide
does not replace the user manual, but makes it as easy as possible for
you to use this product.
Please note that this appliance is not suitable for everyone. Consult
the table on the back of this quick start guide to determine which light
intensities are appropriate for your skin and body hair colour and to
check if this appliance is suitable for you.

USING THE APPLIANCE
When you use Lumea regularly, please avoid
sunbathing. If you have sunbathed, make sure
you wait at least 2 weeks before you use Lumea
Essential.
You need to prepare your skin by shaving the
desired treatment area before using Lumea.
Once the hairs stop growing back, which usually
happens after 4-5 treatments, you no longer have
to shave before you use the appliance.
Check if the attachment and light exit window are
clean. If there is dirt, hair or bre on the window,
clean it with the cloth supplied before use.
Make sure you place back the body attachment
properly.
Before you use Philips Lumea Essential, perform a skin test (see user
manual). After the skin test, wait for 24 hours and check your skin for any
reactions. If you notice any skin reactions, choose the highest setting that
did not result in any skin reactions, for subsequent use.
Put the plug in the socket and switch on the device.
Then select the light intensity level that matches
your skin tone.To choose the appropriate setting,
simply consult the suitability chart on the back of
this quick start guide.
To adjust the light intensity setting, press the on/off
button one or more times until you have reached
the required setting.
Place Lumea at a 90-degree angle on your skin and
ensure full skin contact.When you have full skin
contact, the ‘ready to ash’ light turns green.
Press the ash button to release a ash. Lift the
appliance off your skin and place it on the next area
to be treated, making sure there is some overlap.
Then press the ash button again.
With Lumea Essential Plus, you can choose the
mode you’d like to use. Slide and ash is the main
application mode. You just keep the ash button
pressed down and ash will continue to go off as
you glide.
After each ash, it takes up to 3.5 seconds until the
appliance is ready to ash again. During this charging
time, the ‘ready to ash’ light blinks when the
appliance is in full contact with your skin.

Recommended light intensities table
Consult the table to determine which light intensities are most suitable for your skin and body hair colour and check if this method is
suitable for you.The method is more effective at higher intensities; however, you should reduce the light intensity if you experience any
pain or discomfort.The light pulse can feel warm or hot on the skin but should never be painful.
Check section ‘Contraindications’ in the user manual; some medications and health conditions might cause adverse reactions when you
use the appliance.
