Intended use of Philips Lumea Comfort
Philips Lumea Comfort is intended for the removal
of unwanted hair. Philips Lumea Comfort is intended
to effect long-term or permanent results. Permanent
results are dened as a long-term stable reduction in the
number of hairs regrowing after a treatment regime.
Philips Lumea Comfort may be used to remove
unwanted body hair. Ideal body areas for use of
Philips Lumea Comfort include the underarms, bikini
line, arms and legs.
Safety with Philips Lumea Comfort
With Philips Lumea Comfort safety comes rst.
HPL technology offers superior safety with
lower energy level
Home Pulsed Light technology is able to achieve
long-term hair removal results at a fraction of the
energy level used in other light-based hair removal
equipment.The low energy used in Philips Lumea
Comfort reduces its potential to cause harm or
complications, and contributes to your overall safety.
Philips Lumea Comfort protects your eyes
The Philips Lumea Comfort has a built-in safety
feature for eye protection. It has been designed
so that a light pulse cannot be emitted when the
treatment surface is facing open air.The pulse button
only works when the treatment surface is in full
contact with the skin.

ensure skin safety.
The 0.35x1.2in (0.9X3cm) light exit window through
which pulses of light are delivered is recessed in
the treatment surface.This enables Philips Lumea
Comfort to protect your skin by avoiding direct
contact between the light exit window and the skin

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read Before Use!
Philips Lumea Comfort is not designed for everyone.
Please read and consider the information in the
following section before use. For further information
and personalized advice, you may also visit www.
philips.com/lumea.
If you are unsure Philips Lumea Comfort
is safe for you to use, please consult your
physician or dermatologist.
DO NOT USE Philips Lumea Comfort if you
have a naturally dark skin color!
Philips Lumea Comfort removes unwanted hair by
selectively addressing hair pigment.Varied quantities
of pigment also exist in the surrounding tissue
of skin.The quantity of pigment in a particular
person’s skin, which is manifested by their skin color,
determines the degree of risk they are exposed to
when they use this device.
Treating dark skin with Philips Lumea Comfort can
result in adverse effects such as burns, blisters, and
skin color changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).
ENGLISH 9

- DO NOT USE Philips Lumea Comfort on
naturally dark skin!
A unique skin color sensor is incorporated in Philips
Lumea Comfort. It measures the color of the skin
to be treated at the beginning of each session and
occasionally during the session.This skin color sensor
ensures that a pulse will be emitted only on suitable
skin colors.
DO NOT USE Philips Lumea Comfort on
tanned skin or after recent sun exposure!
Tanned skin, particularly after sun exposure, contains
large quantities of the pigment melanin.This applies
to all skin types and colors, including those that
do not seem to tan quickly.The presence of large
quantities of melanin exposes the skin to higher risk
when using Philips Lumea Comfort.
Using Philips Lumea Comfort on skin that has been
recently exposed to sunlight can result in adverse
effects such as burns, blisters, and skin color changes
(hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).
- DO NOT USE Philips Lumea Comfort on
tanned skin or after sun exposure! Such
use can cause burns or skin injury.
- Avoid exposure to the sun for 4 weeks
before your treatment with Philips Lumea
Comfort!
Never use Philips Lumea Comfort around
or near the eyes - Philips Lumea Comfort is
not recommended for facial treatment.
Philips Lumea Comfort is not effective on naturally
white, gray, blond and red body hair. If your body
hair is of these colors, the device does not work
on you.
