in the privacy of your own home, whenever and
wherever you want.

Effective hair re-growth prevention for
everyday smoothness
This method provides you with long-lasting hair
regrowth prevention and smooth skin. Our studies
have shown a significant hair reduction already
after two treatments. Optimal results were
generally achieved after six to seven treatments.A
reduction in hair density is visible from treatment
to treatment. How fast the effect becomes visible
and how long the results last varies from person to
person. For more information, see chapter ‘Using the
appliance’, section ‘How to achieve optimal results’.
Gentle treatment
Philips Lumea for men has been developed in close
cooperation with leading dermatologists for an
effective and gentle treatment.
Cordless operation for maximum freedom
and flexibility
Because the appliance runs on rechargeable
batteries, it is portable and can be used anywhere.
Lamp does not require replacement
Philips Lumea for men is equipped with a high-
performance lamp.This lamp can generate over
80,000 flashes and should enable 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.

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
efficacy 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.
The hair now sheds naturally and the hair growth 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
