Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips!
To fully benet from the support that Philips offers, register your product at
www.philips.com/welcome.
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 signicantly reduces
hair regrowth. Philips has been investigating this method together with
leading dermatologists for over 15 years. You can now use this innovative
technology comfortably in the privacy of your own home, whenever you
want. This appliance has been specically designed and optimised for use
by women, but can be used by men as well. Philips Lumea Essential enables
treatment of unwanted hair on body areas below the neckline.
Philips Lumea Essential is designed for use by one person only.
For more information about Philips Lumea Essential, see
www.philips.com/lumea. Check our homepage regularly for updates.
Benets
This appliance provides the following benets:
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology for home use
Philips Lumea Essential uses a light-based technology called ‘Intense
Pulsed Light’ (IPL). IPL is also used in the professional beauty market for
hair removal and has been in use for the last fteen years. Philips Lumea
Essential now brings this innovative technology to the comfort of your home.
Effective hair regrowth prevention for everyday smoothness
This method provides you with long-lasting hair regrowth prevention and
silky-smooth skin. Our studies have shown a signicant hair reduction after
just two treatments. Optimal results were generally achieved after four
to ve 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 section
‘How to achieve optimal results’ in chapter ‘Using the appliance’.
Gentle treatment, even on sensitive body areas
Philips Lumea Essential has been developed in close cooperation with
leading dermatologists for an effective and gentle treatment, even on the
most sensitive body areas.
No replacement parts needed, no hidden costs
Philips Lumea Essential is equipped with a high-performance lamp which
does not require replacement. This lamp can generate over 100,000 ashes
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 efcacy of
the Intense Pulsed Light technology. 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.
- 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.
An integrated optical lter ensures that no UV light reaches the skin
and ensures that the appliance is safe for the skin.

4222_100_0498_1_DFU-Luxury_A5_v6.indd 10 07/05/15 16:19
- If you have taken any form of isotretinoin such as Accutane
®
or
Roaccutane
®
in the last six months.This treatment can make skin more
susceptible to tears, wounds and irritations.
- If you are on painkillers, which reduce the skin’s sensitivity to heat.
- If you are taking photosensitising agents or medications, check the
package insert of your medicine and never use the appliance if it is
stated that it can cause photo-allergic reactions, photo-toxic reactions
or if you have to avoid sun when taking this medicine.
- If you take anticoagulation medications, including heavy use of aspirin,
in a manner that does not allow you to stop using them at least one
week prior to each treatment with Lumea.
- If you take immunosuppressive medications.
Never use the appliance on the following areas:
- On the face.
- On nipples, areolas, labia minora, vagina, anus and the inside of the
nostrils and ears. See chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘Using the
appliance in the bikini area’.
- Men must not use it on the scrotum or face.
- Over or near anything articial like silicone implants, pacemakers,
subcutaneous injection ports (insulin dispenser) or piercings.
- On moles, freckles, large veins, darker pigmented areas, scars or other
skin anomalies without consulting your doctor. This can result in a burn
and a change in skin colour, which makes it potentially harder to identify
skin-related diseases (e.g. skin cancer).
- On warts, tattoos or permanent make-up. This can result in a burn and
a change in skin colour (hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation).
- On areas where you use long-lasting deodorants. This can result in skin
reactions. See chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘Possible side effects
and skin reactions’.
Never use the appliance on sunburnt, recently tanned (last 2 weeks) or
fake-tanned skin
- All types of tanning can inuence the safety of the treatment.
This applies to exposure to natural sunlight as well as articial tanning
methods, such as tanning lotions, tanning appliances etc. If you are
tanned or are planning to tan, see chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section
‘Tanning advice’.
Note: This list is not exhaustive. If you are not sure whether you can use the
appliance we advise you to consult a doctor.
Preparing for use
For optimal results, prepare the areas on which you intend to use the
appliance in the manner described below.
Preparing treatment areas
1 Shave the areas you intend to treat as long as these areas still show
hair regrowth.
Note: Do not use depilatory creams instead of shaving.
Note: If your last depilation method involved removing hairs by the roots
(e.g epilating), you can start the treatment right away. In this case, we advise
you to shave in between treatments for optimal results.
ENGLISH 11
4222_100_0498_1_DFU-Luxury_A5_v6.indd 11 07/05/15 16:19
Please note that treatment on unshaved or improperly shaved
areas has a number of undesired effects:
- The light exit window and body attachment may become
contaminated with stray hairs and dirt. A contaminated light exit
window and body attachment can reduce the life and efcacy of the
appliance. Contamination of the light exit window can also cause the
treatment to become painful or cause skin reactions like redness and
discolouration.
- Hairs on your skin can burn, which can result in an unpleasant smell.
2 Clean your skin and make sure it is hair-free, entirely dry and free
from oily substances (e.g. residues of deodorants, lotions, perfumes,
tanning creams and sunscreens).
3 Check the appliance, especially the light exit window and
body attachment, for trapped hair, dust and bres. If you see any
contamination, clean the appliance according to the instructions in
chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.
If shaving causes wounds or lesions, your skin may be more sensitive
to IPL than that of others. This may cause the IPL treatment to feel
uncomfortable or it may lead to other unwanted side effects.
We advise you to wait until the irritation has disappeared.
4 Once the hairs stop growing back, which usually happens after
4-5 treatments, you no longer have to shave before you use the
appliance.
Light intensity
Unlike professional light-based appliances, Philips Lumea Essential has been
developed for consumer use and its light pulses are gentler. Therefore you
can expect a convenient and effective treatment at a light intensity that
you nd comfortable.
Philips Lumea Essential provides ve different light intensities.
Adjust the light intensity to your skin and body hair colour and to a level
you nd comfortable.
The recommended light intensities table below helps you to establish the
right light intensity.
1 Consult the table below to determine which light intensities are
appropriate for your skin and body hair colour.
Tip: You can put the table in the quick start guide on your skin and compare it
with your skin colour.
Tip: We advise you to store the quick start guide in the pouch for future
reference.
2 Reduce the light intensity if you experience any pain or discomfort.
Persons with darker skin run a higher risk of skin irritation because their
skin absorbs more light. Therefore lower intensities are recommended
for persons with darker skin.
ENGLISH12
4222_100_0498_1_DFU-Luxury_A5_v6.indd 12 07/05/15 16:19
The light pulse can feel warm or hot on the skin but should never be
painful. Different body areas may require different light intensities, see
to the table below. To prevent skin reactions, see chapter ‘Using the
appliance’, section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.
Recommended light intensities (1-5)
In the table below, ‘x’ means that the appliance is not suitable for you.
Note: The colour of your skin may change, for example because your skin
has been exposed to tanning. It may then be darker than during the previous
treatment. Therefore it is important that you check the setting to be used
before every treatment and per area. Some areas may be darker than others.

Important
To check whether Philips Lumea Essential is suitable for you, see section
‘For whom is Philips Lumea Essential not suitable?’.
Tanning advice
- Avoid sunbathing when you use Philips Lumea Essential
regularly (every two weeks).
Sunbathing can cause skin to darken (tan) or can cause sunburn (reddening
of the skin). Using Philips Lumea Essential on darkened (tanned) and/or
sunburned skin increases the risk of adverse side effects and skin reactions.
See chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘Possible side effects and skin
reactions’.
- Sun exposure before treatment: Wait 2 weeks and perform
a skin test.
Wait at least 2 weeks after sunbathing before you use the appliance.
Perform a skin test (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘First use and
skin test’) on the area to be treated to determine the appropriate light
intensity. Failure to do so increases the risk of developing skin reactions
after treatment with Philips Lumea Essential.
ENGLISH 13
4222_100_0498_1_DFU-Luxury_A5_v6.indd 13 07/05/15 16:19
- Sun exposure after treatment: Wait 48 hours before
sunbathing after treatment with Philips Lumea Essential.
Wait at least 48 hours after treatment before you expose treated areas
to the sun. Even after 48 hours, make sure that the treated skin shows no
adverse reaction to the treatment before you expose it 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. Exposing treated areas to sunlight without
protection immediately after treatment increases the risk of adverse side
effects and skin reactions. See chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section
‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.
- Tanning with articial light
Follow the instructions in ‘Sun exposure before treatment’ and
‘Sun exposure after treatment’ above.
- Tanning with creams
If you have used an articial tanning lotion, wait until the articial tan has
fully disappeared before you use Philips Lumea Essential.
Note: For more details on unwanted skin reactions, see chapter ‘Using the
appliance’, section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.
Using the appliance
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Light intensity’ to determine which light intensities are most
suitable for your skin and body hair colour.
Shave the area you intend to treat before you use the appliance
(see chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Preparing treatment areas’).
If the treatment becomes painful at any point in time, reduce the light
intensity setting until the treatment is comfortable again.
If you notice skin reactions stronger than slight redness, stop the
treatment immediately and read section ‘Possible side effects and skin
reactions’ in this chapter.
First use and skin test
When you use the appliance for the rst time or after recent tanning, we
advise you to perform a skin test on each area to be treated to check
your skin’s reaction to the treatment and to get accustomed to light-based
treatment.
1 Choose an area close to the area you intend to treat.
2 Insert the small plug into the appliance and put the adapter in the
wall socket.
Note: Make sure the body attachment is placed on the appliance.
3 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
ENGLISH14
4222_100_0498_1_DFU-Luxury_A5_v6.indd 14 07/05/15 16:19
, Intensity light 1 goes on.
Note: The appliance always automatically selects the lowest light intensity
setting. See section ‘Light intensity’ in chapter ‘Preparing for use’ to determine
the appropriate light intensity.
4 To adjust the light intensity setting, press the on/off button one or
more times until you have reached the required setting.
The corresponding intensity light lights up.
5 Place the appliance at a 90° angle on the skin so that the body
attachment is in contact with the skin.
Tip: For easier use, stretch the area of skin you want to treat.
, The ‘ready to ash’ light on the back of the appliance starts blinking
to indicate that the appliance is getting ready to release a ash.
, When the appliance is ready to release a ash, the ‘ready to ash’
light lights up green continuously.
6 Press the ash button to release a ash.
Note: The visible light produced by the appliance is the reection of the ash
on the skin and is harmless to your eyes. It is not necessary to wear goggles
during use. Use the appliance in a well-lit room; this reduces the perceived
brightness of the ash.
7 Release the ash button once the appliance has ashed.
8 Slide the appliance over the skin to the next area to be treated.
As long as it feels comfortable (not painful), increase the setting by
one level within the recommended range for your skin type and
apply one ash for each setting. Do not apply more than one ash on
the same spot.
9 When you have nished the treatment, press and hold the on/off
button for 2 seconds to switch off the appliance.
10 After the skin test, wait for 24 hours and check your skin for
any reaction. If your skin shows reactions, choose the highest setting
that did not result in any skin reaction for subsequent use.
90º
ENGLISH 15
4222_100_0498_1_DFU-Luxury_A5_v6.indd 15 07/05/15 16:19
Subsequent use
1 Before every treatment, clean the body attachment, the light exit
window and the metallic frame inside the body attachment.
For more information see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.
2 Start each treatment by selecting the light intensity very carefully,
based on your skin’s sensitivity and on how comfortable treatment
feels. See section ‘Recommended light intensities’ to select the right
setting for your skin type and hair colour combination.
Note: Your skin may react differently on different days/occasions for a number
of reasons. See section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’ in this chapter
for more information.
3 Follow steps 2-6 of the previous section (‘Before rst use and
skin test’).
Note: It is normal that the appliance and the body attachment become warm
during use.
4 Slide the appliance over the skin to the next area to be treated
and repeat steps 5 and 6 of section ‘First use and skin test’ in this
chapter. After each ash, it takes up to 3.5 seconds until the appliance
is ready to ash again. The ‘ready to ash’ light on the back of the
appliance starts blinking again to indicate that it is charging.
Wait until this light lights up continuously before you continue.
Tip for SC1992: The SC1992 has a ‘slide and ash’ feature: for a more efcient
treatment, keep the ash button pressed while you slide the appliance over
your skin.
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.
5 To avoid untreated areas, make sure the ashes are produced close
to each other. Note that effective light only comes out of the light
exit window. However, always make sure you do not ash the same
area twice.
6 When you have nished the treatment, press and hold the on/off
button for 2 seconds to switch off the appliance.
7 Check the light exit window and the body attachment for hairs and
dirt and clean the appliance after use (see chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’).
Tips
How to achieve optimal results
- It is normal that hairs are still visible after the rst few treatments (see
chapter ‘Introduction’, section ‘Working principle’ for more information).
- To remove all hairs successfully and prevent the hair follicle from
becoming active again, the treatments have to be repeated once every
two weeks for the rst two months. Your skin should be smooth and
hair-free by then. Please read section ‘Maintenance phase’ to nd out
how you can keep these results.
ENGLISH16
4222_100_0498_1_DFU-Luxury_A5_v6.indd 16 07/05/15 16:19
Maintenance phase
- To ensure that your skin stays smooth and hair-free, we advise you
to repeat the treatment every four to six weeks. The time between
treatments may vary based on your individual hair regrowth and also
across different body areas. If too many hairs grow back between
treatments, simply shorten the treatment interval again, but do not
treat any area more often than once every two weeks. When you use
the appliance more frequently than recommended, you do not increase
the effectiveness but you do increase the risk of skin reactions.
Guidelines for treatment
Average treatment time
Area Approx. treatment time
Underarms 1 minute per underarm
Bikini line 1 minute per side
Entire bikini area 4 minutes
One lower leg 8 minutes
One full leg 14 minutes
Note: The average treatment times above have been observed during research
and tests. Individual treatment times may vary from person to person.
Intended treatment areas
The appliance is intended to treat unwanted hairs from the underarms,
arms, stomach, bikini area and legs. It should not be used on the face.
Using the appliance on the legs
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for your legs.
- You can move the appliance up and down or across the leg, whichever
is more convenient to you. In order to maintain full contact with the
skin you can also place and hold the appliance on your skin sideways.
Note: Bony areas like shinbone and ankles are more sensitive than other areas
of the body. When you press the body attachment hard onto these areas, the
skin can be more susceptible to skin reactions, such as skin irritation and
redness. See section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’ in this chapter.
Press the body attachment onto the skin just hard enough to make the ‘ready
to ash’ light go on, but not harder.
Using the appliance in the bikini area
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for use’,
section ‘Light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for your bikini area.
In principle, Philips Lumea Essential is safe and gentle enough for treatment
of the entire bikini area (e.g. for ‘Brazilian’ or ‘Hollywood’ style). Use a lower
setting on darker pigmented, more sensitive skin in the bikini area. Do not
use the appliance on inner labia, vagina and anus. Men who wish to treat
their pubic area must not use the appliance on the scrotum.
Note: For hygienic reasons, always clean the body attachment before you start
treating another body area (see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).
ENGLISH 17
4222_100_0498_1_DFU-Luxury_A5_v6.indd 17 07/05/15 16:19
Using the appliance on the underarms
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for
your underarms.
Make sure you remove any deodorant, perfume, cream or other skin care
product from your underarms before treatment.
Tip: To achieve optimal results on your underarms, stand in front of a mirror
to get a good view of the area to be treated and the ‘ready to ash’ light.
Raise your arm and place your hand on the back of your neck to stretch the
skin in the underarm area.
Note: The reected light does not harm your eyes. If the scattered light is
unpleasant, close your eyes when you release a ash.
Possible side effects and skin reactions
Common skin reactions:
- Your skin may show slight redness and/or may prickle, tingle or feel
warm. This reaction is absolutely harmless and disappears quickly.
- A skin reaction similar to sunburn may occur on the treated area for a
short while. If this does not disappear within 3 days, we advise you to
consult a doctor.
- Dry skin and itching may occur due to shaving or a combination of
shaving and light treatment. This is harmless and disappears within a
few days. You can cool the area with an ice pack or a wet facecloth.
If dryness persists, you can apply a non-scented moisturiser on the
treated area 24 hours after the treatment.
Rare side effects:
- Burns, excessive redness and swelling: these reactions occur rarely and
are usually the result of using a light intensity that is too high for your
skin colour. If these reactions do not disappear within 3 days, we advise
you to consult a doctor. Wait with the next treatment until the skin has
healed completely and make sure you use a lower light intensity.
- Skin discolouration: this occurs very rarely. Skin discolouration manifests
itself as either a darker or lighter patch than the surrounding area. This
is the result of using a light intensity that is too high for your skin colour.
In rare instances (usually a result of using too high intensity on too dark
skin), the effects of a pigment change can last longer than is usually
observed. In all cases, the effects are eventually reversed. Do not treat
discoloured areas until the discolouration has disappeared and your
skin has regained its normal skin colour.
- Skin infection and inammation: This occurs very rarely and may be
caused by using the appliance on wounds or cuts that resulted from
shaving, on already existing wounds or on ingrown hairs.
- Excessive pain: this can occur during or after treatment if you have
used the appliance on unshaved skin, if you use the appliance at a light
intensity that is too high for your skin colour, if you ash the same
area more than once and if you use the appliance on open wounds,
inammations, infections, tattoos, burns, etc. See chapter ‘Important’,
section ‘Contraindications’ for more information.
