Philips SC2003 Mobility Aid User Manual


 
In principle, Philips Lumea Precision Plus 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 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.
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 reected 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 precision attachment to treat the upper lip, chin
and 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: Apply a thick layer of white eyeliner to your lip and lip margin. This white
line ensures the energy of the ash is reected and does not touch your lip if
you ash the lip unintentionally.
Tip: Because of the contours of the jaws, it may be difcult 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 reected 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 and
hair-free by then. Please read section ‘Maintenance phase’ to nd out
how you can keep these results.
