Intended use
This appliance is intended for the removal of unwanted
hair. It is able to deliver long-term reduction in the number
of hairs that regrow after treatment. You can use Philips
Lumea Comfort to remove unwanted body hair on all
areas below the cheekbones, including the face (upper
lip, chin and cheeks). This appliance has been specically
designed and optimised for use by women, but can be used
by men as well. It is designed for use by one person only.
Safety features
Integrated safety system
Philips Lumea Comfort has an integrated safety system
that protects the eyes. This system prevents unintentional
ashing without skin contact.
Skin colour sensor
Philips Lumea Comfort has a skin colour sensor that
prevents treatment if your skin colour is too dark.
The light exit window is recessed in the treatment surface.
This prevents direct contact between your skin and the
light exit window.
Benets
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology for home use
Philips Lumea Comfort uses a light-based technology called
‘Intense Pulsed Light’ (IPL). IPL is one of the most effective
methods to remove unwanted body hair. It produces long-
lasting results because it reduces hair regrowth signicantly.

No replacement parts needed, no hidden costs
Philips Lumea Comfort is equipped with a high-
performance lamp which does not require replacement.
This lamp can generate over 100,000 ashes. This enables
you to continuously maintain results for more than
5 years*, while saving money on expensive replacement
lamps.
*Based on average usage scenario and recommended
treatment regime for one user.
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.
- 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 once every two weeks for
the rst two months.
