Philips LUMEA-9000-SERIES-BRI958 user manual

There is no information available to suggest that Philips Lumea has been discontinued. Philips Lumea is a popular brand of at-home laser hair removal devices, and it is still widely available for purchase online and in stores. However, it is always a good idea to check with the manufacturer or official retailers for the most up-to-date information.

The Philips Lumea 9000 series BRI958 has a lifespan of approximately 20 years or 600,000 flashes.

It is generally not recommended to use the Philips Lumea or any IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) device on the pubic area. The skin in this region is more sensitive and the hair is coarser, which can potentially lead to discomfort, pain, or adverse reactions such as burns or skin irritation. It is recommended to follow the specific guidelines provided by the manufacturer and consult a dermatologist or professional aesthetician for any concerns or questions regarding hair removal in sensitive areas.

To use the Philips Lumea for the first time, follow these steps:
1. Before starting, make sure your skin is clean and free from any lotions, creams, or makeup.
2. Connect the device to a power outlet and press the power button to turn it on.
3. Select the appropriate intensity level based on your skin type using the "+" and "-" buttons on the device. It is advised to start with the lowest intensity level and gradually increase if necessary.
4. Select the suitable attachment for the treatment area. The device comes with attachments designed for different body areas such as the face, body, underarms, and bikini line.
5. Position the Lumea at a 90-degree angle against your skin, and make sure the device's window is fully in contact with your skin.
6. Once the device is properly positioned, press the flash button to emit the light pulse. Move the device to the next treatment area and repeat the process. Avoid flashing the same area multiple times in one session.
7. Continue treating each desired area, making sure to cover the entire area without overlapping or missing any spots.
8. After finishing the treatment session, press the power button to turn off the device and unplug it from the power outlet.
Remember to consult the user manual for detailed instructions specific to your device model and always follow the recommended guidelines for safe and effective use of the Philips Lumea.
