Before you use your Lumea Prestige

Pretreating your skin

- After 4-5 treatments, you should see a significant reduction of hair
growth in the areas that you treated with Lumea. A reduction of hair
density should be visible as well.
- Keep on treating with frequent touch-ups (every 4-8 weeks) to maintain
the result.
Intentionally exposing your skin to natural or artificial sunlight with the aim
of developing a tan influences the sensitivity and color of your skin.
Therefore the following is important:
- After each treatment, wait at least 48 hours before tanning. Even after 48
hours, make sure that the treated skin does not show any redness from
the treatment anymore.
- In case of exposing your skin to the sun (without tanning intentionally) in
the 48 hours after treatment, use a sunblock SPF 50+ on the treated
areas. After this period, you can use a sunblock SPF 30+ for two weeks.
- After tanning, wait at least 2 weeks before you use Lumea.
- After recent tanning, perform a skin test to determine the appropriate
light intensity setting. For instructions see chapter 'Skin test'.
- Do not use Lumea on sunburned body areas.
Note: Occasional and indirect sun exposure does not qualify as tanning.
If you have used an artificial tanning lotion, wait until the artificial tan has
disappeared completely before you use the device.
Before you use Lumea, you should pretreat your skin by removing hairs on
the surface of your skin. This allows the light to be absorbed by the hair
parts below the skin surface to ensure effective treatment. You can either
shave, short-trim, epilate or wax. Do not use depilatory creams, as chemicals
may cause skin reactions.
