Skin test
Using your Lumea Prestige
Skin tone sensor
If you choose to wax, please wait 24 hours before using Lumea to let your
skin rest. We recommend that you take a shower before the treatment to
ensure that all possible residue of wax has been removed from your skin.
1 Pretreat the areas you intend to treat with Lumea.
2 Clean your skin and make sure it is hair-free, entirely dry and free from
oily substances.
Note: if shaving causes skin irritation, we advise you not to use the device
until skin irritation is resolved.
When you use Lumea Prestige for the first time or after recent tanning,
perform a skin test on each area to be treated. The skin test is necessary to
check your skin's reaction to the treatment and to determine the correct
light intensity setting for each body area.
1 Attach the right attachment for the area you want to treat. See chapter:
'Attachments'.
Note: do not try the device on difficult or sensitive areas (ankle and bony
area).
2 Turn on the device. Make sure that you select setting 1.
3 Place the device at a 90° angle on the skin so that the integrated safety
system is in contact with your skin.
The integrated safety system prevents unintentional flashing without skin
contact.
4 Press the flash button to release a flash.
5 Slide the device over the skin to the next area to be treated.
6 Increase the setting by one level, apply a flash and slide the device to the
next area. Repeat this for all levels, as long as each level still feels
comfortable. See the table in: 'Selecting the right light intensity'.
7 After the skin test, wait 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.
The Lumea Prestige has integrated skin tone sensor which measures the
skin tone at the beginning of each session and occasionally during the
session. If it detects a skin tone that is too dark for treatment with
Lumea, the 'ready to flash' light starts blinking orange and the device
automatically disables to prevent you from developing skin reactions. This
means that it does not flash when you press the flash button.
