Suitable body hair colors

With Intense Pulsed Light technology, gentle pulses of light are applied to
the skin and absorbed by the hair root. The lighter the skin and the darker
the hair, the better the pulses of light are absorbed.
The pulses of light stimulate the hair follicle to go into a resting phase. As a
consequence, the hair sheds naturally and hair regrowth is prevented.
The cycle of hair growth consists of different phases. IPL technology is only
effective when the hair is in its growing phase. Not all hairs are in the
growing phase at the same time. This is why we recommend you to follow
the initial treatment phase (4 treatments, every treatment 2 weeks apart)
and then the follow‑up treatment phase (touch‑ups every 4 weeks) to make
sure all hairs are effectively treated in the growing phase.
Tip: To assure long lasting hair removal, touch-ups every 4 weeks are
recommended.
Treatment with Lumea Prestige is not effective if you have light blond, grey,
red or white hairs as hairs with these colors do not absorb enough light.
Note: To check if your body hair color allows usage of the device, consult the
hair color table on the foldout page.
