Product Information
Full details
The Philips Lumea IPL 8000 Series is designed for individuals seeking a long-term solution for hair reduction at home, offering a personalized experience through advanced SenseIQ technology. It provides clinical-grade results for most skin and hair types, significantly reducing regrowth over time. A key caveat is that the device is ineffective on very light (blonde, red, white, or grey) hair and is not suitable for very dark skin tones, requiring a clear contrast between hair and skin pigment to function safely.

FAQs
Does the Philips Lumea require any gels or replacement lamps?
No. The Lumea 8000 Series is a complete solution that requires no gels, lotions, or replacement cartridges.
How long until I see results?
Most users see up to 92% hair reduction in as little as 3 treatments.
Can I use it on my face?
Yes, but you must use the included precision face attachment to ensure the correct filter and light intensity are applied.
What happens if I have blonde or red hair?
Unfortunately, IPL technology is not effective on red, light blonde, white, or grey hair due to the lack of pigment.
How often should I use the device once I have reached my desired results?
To maintain smooth skin, perform a touch-up treatment every 4 weeks.
Is the device cordless?
No, this model requires a continuous connection to an AC power outlet for operation.
Troubleshooting
The device does not flash when pressed against the skin.
Ensure the treatment window is in full, flat contact with the skin. The device will not flash if the skin sensor does not detect complete contact.
The SmartSkin sensor is not suggesting an intensity level.
Clean the sensor window with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure the area of skin being measured is clean, dry, and free of lotions or makeup.
The device feels too warm or uncomfortable during treatment.
Check if you have selected a setting that is too high for your skin tone. Use the SmartSkin sensor recommendation or lower the energy intensity level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: remove the device from the box, connect the AC adapter to the device, and plug it into a standard wall outlet. Before your first use, download the Philips Lumea app to set up your profile and treatment plan.
Compatibility check: Ensure your hair and skin color fall within the compatible range (naturally dark blonde to black hair; very white to dark brown skin). If your skin or hair color falls outside these parameters, the device will not be effective or may pose a risk.
Care instructions: After each session, wipe the treatment window and sensors with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from the outlet before cleaning. Store in a cool, dry place and keep the attachments clean to ensure the SmartSkin sensor functions accurately during every session.
