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 10 years. You can now use this innovative
technology comfortably in the privacy of your own home, whenever and
wherever you want.
This appliance has been specically designed and optimised for use by
women, but can be used by men as well.
Philips Lumea Precision Plus enables treatment of unwanted hair on the
whole body, including the face (upper lip, chin and sideburns), using three
tailored attachments.
Philips Lumea Precision Plus is designed for use by one person only.
For more information about Philips Lumea Precision Plus and movies about
how to use Lumea, see www.philips.com/lumea. Check our homepage
regularly for updates.
This appliance provides the following benets:
Philips Lumea Precision Plus 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
Precision Plus now brings you this innovative technology for safe and
effective use in the comfort of your home.
This method provides you with long-lasting hair regrowth prevention and
silky-smooth skin. Our studies have shown a signicant hair reduction
already after 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’.
Philips Lumea Precision Plus has been developed in close cooperation with
leading dermatologists and has been tested by over 2000 women for an
effective and gentle treatment, even on the most sensitive body areas and
the face.
Because the appliance runs on rechargeable batteries, it is portable and can
be used anywhere.
A fully charged battery provides a complete body and face treatment
(upper lip, underarms, bikini line and lower legs) in one go, without
recharging breaks.*
*Based on the average treatment times for each area and the
recommended intensities for one user.
Philips Lumea Precision Plus is equipped with a high-performance lamp
which does not require replacement. This lamp can generate over
140,000 ashes and should enable you to continuously maintain results for
more than 5 years* while saving money on expensive replacement lamps.
*Based on the average treatment times for each area and the
recommended intensities for one user.
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 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.
- 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 every two weeks for a few times.
An integrated optical lter ensures that no UV light reaches the skin
and guarantees that the appliance is safe for the skin.

Preparing for use
For optimal results and greatest effect, 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 you still experience
hair regrowth.
Note: If your last depilation method involved removing hairs by the roots
(e.g epilating, waxing etc.), wait until you notice signicant hair regrowth before
you use Philips Lumea Precision Plus. Do not use depilatory creams instead
of shaving.
ENGLISH 13
Please note that treatment on unshaved or improperly shaved
areas has a number of undesired effects:
- The light exit window and attachment may become contaminated with
stray hairs and dirt. A contaminated light exit window and attachment
can reduce the life and efcacy of the appliance. In addition, burns or
black spots that appear on the light exit window and attachments due
to contamination can 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. present in cosmetic products like
deodorants, lotions, perfumes, tanning creams and sunscreens).
3 Check the appliance, especially the light exit window and attachment,
for trapped hair, dust and bres. If you see any contamination, clean
the appliance according to the instructions in chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’.
Notes:
- If shaving causes wounds or lesions, your skin may be more sensitive
and the light treatment may sometimes feel uncomfortable.
- Once the hairs stop growing back, which usually happens after
4-5 treatments, you no longer have to shave before you use the appliance.
Setting the light intensity
Philips Lumea Precision Plus is an appliance developed for consumer use at
home and therefore not comparable with professional light-based appliances
with respect to pain sensation. The pulses of light delivered by Philips Lumea
Precision Plus are gentler than those from professional appliances and
therefore you can expect a convenient and effective treatment.
You have to 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 most
suitable for your skin and body hair colour and to check if this method
is suitable for you (if it is not, this is indicated with x in the table).
2 Each body area and possibly even parts of a body area may require a
separate appropriate light intensity according to the recommended
light intensities table below. The method is more effective at higher
intensities, but you should reduce the light intensity if you experience
any pain or discomfort.
Note: The required light intensity for different body areas may vary due to
different skin colours. For example, the skin of the lower legs can be darker
than the skin of the underarms due to more sun exposure.
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.
The light pulse can feel warm or hot on the skin but should never be
painful. To prevent skin reactions, see chapter ‘Using the appliance’,
section ‘Possible side effects and skin reactions’.

Important
To check whether Philips Lumea Precision Plus is suitable for you, see
section ‘For whom is Philips Lumea Precision Plus not suitable?’.
If your skin has been exposed to natural sunlight or an articial tanning
method, it may be darker than during the previous treatment. Check the
table above to determine which settings are suitable for your skin colour.
Tanning advice
Sun exposure before treatment
- If your skin is tanned, perform a skin test (see chapter ‘Using the
appliance’, section ‘First use’) on the area to be treated to determine the
appropriate light intensity. A failure to do so causes a risk of developing
skin reactions after treatment with Philips Lumea Precision Plus.
- Wait at least 48 hours after sunbathing before you use the appliance.
Sunbathing can cause skin to darken (tan) and/or can cause sunburn
(reddening of the skin).
- After these 48 hours, check the skin for any remaining sunburn. Do not
use Philips Lumea Precision Plus as long as sunburn persists.
- When the sunburn has disappeared, perform a skin test (see chapter
‘Using the appliance’, section ‘First use’) on the area to be treated to
determine the appropriate light intensity.
Sun exposure after treatment
- Wait at least 24 hours after treatment before you expose treated
areas to the sun. Even after 24 hours, make sure that the treated skin
does not show any redness from the treatment anymore 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 can increase the risk of adverse side effects and skin
reactions. See chapter ‘Using the appliance’, section ‘Possible side effects
and skin reactions’.
ENGLISH 15
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 Precision Plus.
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 ‘Setting the light intensity’ to determine which light intensities
are most suitable for your skin and body hair colour. Use the appliance in
a room; this reduces the perceived brightness of the ash. Shave well-lit
the area you intend to treat before you use the appliance (see chapter
‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Preparing treatment areas’).
If the treatment becomes intolerably 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.
Choosing the right attachment
- Body attachment
The body attachment can be used to treat unwanted body hair on all
body areas below the neck (for exceptions, see chapter ‘Important’, section
‘Contraindications’). The body attachment can cover an area of 4cm² and
has been specially designed for faster treatment of larger areas like legs.
Do not use the body attachment on the face.
- Facial attachment
The facial attachment has an additional integrated light lter and can be
used for extra-safe treatment of unwanted facial hair on the upper lip, chin
and sideburns. It may also be used on other sensitive areas of the body,
such as the underarms and hard-to-reach areas.
Never use the appliance around the eyes and near the eyebrows.
- Bikini area attachment (SC2008 only)
The bikini area attachment has a special lter for treating the bikini area.
The attachment is optimised for effective hair reduction in the bikini area.
It has been specically designed to remove the coarser hairs in this area.
You can also use the bikini area attachment on the underarms.
Do not use the bikini area attachment on the face.
ENGLISH16
First use and skin test
1 Choose the attachment appropriate for the area you intend to treat.
2 Choose an area close to the area you intend to treat.
Note: Before you use the appliance on the upper lip, chin or sideburns, choose
a mole- and hair-free area below your ear to perform the skin test.
3 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
, The appliance always starts automatically at the lowest setting.
4 Apply one ash at the lowest recommended intensity for your skin
type (for instructions on how to release a ash, see steps 6 to 9
of section ‘Subsequent use’ in this chapter).
5 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.
6 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.
When you use the appliance for the rst time, we advise you to perform
a skin test on the area to be treated to check your skin’s reaction to the
treatment and to get accustomed to light-based treatment.
Subsequent use
1 Before every treatment, clean the attachments, the light exit window
and the metallic frame inside the attachments of Philips Lumea
Precision Plus. For more information see chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’.
2 Choose the attachment appropriate for the area you intend to treat.
3 Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
Note: It is normal that the appliance and the attachment become warm during use.

Note: The average treatment times above have been observed during research
and tests. Individual treatment times may vary from person to person.
Note: Fully charged batteries offer at least 370 ashes at intensity 5. How long
you can use the appliance depends on the size of the area to be treated and
the intensity setting used.
Intended treatment areas
The appliance is intended to treat unwanted hairs from the upper lip, chin,
sideburns, underarms, arms, stomach, bikini area and legs.
Using the appliance on the legs
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the 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.
Note: Bony areas like shinbone and ankles are more sensitive than other areas
of the body. When you press the 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
attachment onto the skin just hard enough to make the ‘ready to ash’ light go
on, but not harder.
ENGLISH20
Tip: The appliance may leave imprints on the skin in the treated
areas. These imprints may show you where you can make the
treated areas overlap.
A fully charged battery provides a complete body and face treatment
(upper lip, underarms, bikini line and lower legs) in one go.* If you use
the appliance to treat both your lower and upper legs, you may have to
recharge the appliance during the treatment. This is normal. How long you
can use the appliance depends on the size of the treatment area and the
intensity setting used.
*Based on the average treatment times for each area and the
recommended intensities for one user.
Tip: Many users combine leg treatments with other activities
around the house such as watching TV or listening to music. You
can also try this to make the experience more enjoyable and
relaxing.
Using the appliance in the bikini area
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for
your bikini area.
In principle, Philips Lumea Precision Plus is safe and gentle enough for
treatment of the entire bikini area. For SC2008 only: use the bikini area
attachment to treat this area. 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 attachment used before you start
treating another body area.
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.
ENGLISH 21
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 in your neck to stretch the skin in the underarm
area. In this way the safety ring can be pressed more easily onto the skin,
which makes the treatment easier to perform.
Note: The reected light does not harm your eyes. If the scattered light is
unpleasant, close your eyes when you release a ash.
Using the appliance on the face (upper lip, chin, sideburns)
Check the recommended light intensities table in chapter ‘Preparing for
use’, section ‘Setting the light intensity’ to see which settings are suitable for
your face (upper lip, chin, sideburns).
Always use only the to treat the upper lip, chin and facial attachment
sideburns. Never use the appliance around the eyes or near the eyebrows.
When you treat your upper lip, chin or sideburns, make sure you do not
expose your face to direct sunlight in the 24 hours following the treatment.
Apply a sunblock (SPF 30+) after the treatment for the next two weeks
when you expose your face to direct sunlight.
Tip: To achieve optimal results on your upper lip, chin and sideburns stand in
front of a mirror to get a good view of the area to be treated and the ‘ready to
ash’ light.
Tip: Because of the contours of the jaws, it may be difcult to bring the safety
ring into full contact with the skin and to release a ash. Put your tongue
between your teeth and upper lip or puff up your cheeks to make this easier.
Tip: The reected light does not harm your eyes. If the scattered light is
unpleasant, close your eyes when you release a ash.
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 by
then. Please read section ‘Maintenance phase’ to nd out how you
can keep these results.
Maintenance phase
- To ensure that your skin stays smooth, we advise you to repeat the
treatment every 4 to 8 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.
ENGLISH22
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 because of the 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 very rarely.
They are 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 patch (hyperpigmentation) or a lighter patch
(hypopigmentation) than the surrounding area. This is the result of using
a light intensity that is too high for your skin colour. If the discolouration
does not disappear within 2 weeks, we advise you to consult a doctor.
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.
After use
- Do not apply any perfumed cosmetics to the areas treated immediately
after treatment.
- Do not use deodorant immediately after treating the underarms. Wait
until any skin redness has disappeared completely.
- See chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Tanning advice’ for information
about sun exposure and articial tanning.
