I've been using Lumea IPL every two weeks for just over two months now on various areas such as legs, arms, underarms, bikini line and upper lip. Thus, I've treated each area around 4 or 5 times so far. I noticed a reduction in the number of hairs growing back even after first treatment, especially on the leg and underarm area. After two months, there are hardly any hairs growing back on my underarms and my legs are around 60% hair free! The hair growth on my upper lip and bikini line is also significantly reduced with noticeable hair-free patches.As explained in the detailed instructions booklet, the device is most effective on areas where the skin is fair and the hair dark,as it targets melanin (the pigment that gives colour to hair and skin). It actually won't fire a flash of light if it detects darker skin tone to avoid burns, which is very clever and reassuring. I found that the areas where I had the most hair reduction, are in fact the areas where the hair is the darkest. My arm hair is quite light and that's where I've had the least hair reduction. However, the hairs that have grown back on my arms are much softer and thinner than before Lumea treatments.I shaved each area before treatment instead of epilating or waxing as I read that the hair needs to remain in the root below the skin surface, in order for it to be effectively zapped. I love the pen trimmer that's included with the device, which I found useful to use on upper lip and facial hair before and in-between treatments.The device itself is comfortable to hold and very intuitive to use. Although it has a cord attached, it doesn't get in the way and it's a good length so you don't have to sit close to the mains. I personally didn't feel any pain whilst using the device, however, on high settings you do feel slight warmth and a sensation like a rubber band snapping, which isn't overly uncomfortable. It comes with three different attachments for body, face and bikini/underarms which are easy to interchange.I would have preferred a more robust storage box/container to a cloth zip bag, since the attachments are quite fragile (the microchip sticks out of each attachment) and could snap easily if squashed which would render them unusable. Overall, I think that it's a fantastic device with which you can achieve long-lasting near-permanent hair removal at a fraction of the cost of salon treatments. It's not for those who expect immediate results, as it takes a number of treatments to notice results depending on your skin/hair type. It takes patience but you won't be disappointed!

So I’ve never actually heard of an IPL machine until I started researching ways to reduce hair growth, smooth skin for longer etc and after reading up online, the Lumea was the product that was well know and the most talked about and liked product. I received the Lumea Advanced and it looked so classy and extremely well made, I read through the instructions and did my test site 24 hours before. First session - the instructions are clear and for the device and what it does, it’s very easy to use, I found when I am doing the treatment I have to reduce the intensity when I get to my knee caps and my ankles, it’s a very bizarre sensation at times but does not hurt at all,I did struggle up my shin bone as I have quite thin legs but I just turned the Lumea length ways and it’s seems to have worked fine. Afte the first session i already noticed a drastic change in hair growth, I only have to shave my underarm twice in the first 2 weeks and my legs once’s, I wasn’t expecting miricales but I was very surprised with the outcome after one treatment. It becomes difficult at times to get in the right position and get all areas but over time you learn and get in a flow/routine.Second Session - I felt the second session was a lot easier than the first session, as I knew what to expect and I also had mastered the art of using the Lumea and the angles to hold it at to ensure all areas were covered, again with the intensity I reduced by 1 around the ankle and the kneecap area. This time round I haven’t seen any drastic change, so shaved armpits 3 times and legs once. I’m due to do my 3rd treatment in 2 days and I’m excited to see the final result. Me personally will never go back to a razor again, these are pricey to begin with but are worth every single penny, they are stylish, convenient, save a fortune on razors, blades, waxing, shave gel etc. I would highly reccomend to anyone who second guessing this product as literally it’s amazing, no more awkward shower positions, no more shaving every other day, I just can’t believe this product exsisted and I had never heard of it. It’s not talked about enough and Promoted enough. But Ladies is a real game changer, add to your birthday/Christmas/mother’s day wish list because I can guarentee you will not be under any circumstance disappointed. Another fantastic product from Phillips [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I was so excited to use this product. As a lady that when comes summer, dreads the awful leg & bikini shaving. I also felt that this hair removal device was too good to be true. My leg hairs grow so fast that when freshly shaved in the morning, they are already getting prickly by early evening. I started my 1st treatment & was surprised by how easy it was to use. There are 3 different head attachments, 1 for legs, body & underarms, 1 for bikini area & 1 for the face. (I haven't used the face one as it is not an issue for me.)When using for the underarms I was surprised when the red flash goes off & there was a slight burn but you can adjust the heat setting, 1-5, depending on your skin tone & hair colour.The underarms treatment took around 5 minutes, which was around the same time as the bikini area. It is painless, just feeling a little heat, nothing which got me worried. Both legs took around 15 minutes to complete. I found it a bit hard to get the device to work around my ankle area as I have bony, slim ankles, the device needs to be at a 90° angle to work & if not placed flat on the skin, it won't work. I have completed 4 cycles, after my 1st cycle, I had a bout of sinusitis & left the 2nd treatment longer than the recommended 2 weeks, it was about 3 & half weeks, so I don't know if that had any effect. It took just 2 treatments to realise my armpit hair had slowed down & 3 treatments to see that my leg hair had slowed down to the point where I only had to shave twice in a week & a half! Yes, that is true! My skin feels much smoother too.At my 4th treatment, my bikini hair growth has slowed down a touch but still grows faster than my legs & underarm hair. The main reason for using the lumea advanced was so that I could reduce shaving my bikini area as I suffer greatly was shaving rash. I've noticed that the rash from shaving has reduced inbetween treatments which is a plus! I am looking forward to completing the course & to seeing the results. This is honestly an absolute must for women who are fed up with daily shaving. I am both happy & amazed with the results that I already have. Hopefully by the time summer comes I shall be virtually hair free, or at least able to last a week or two before I need to get the razor out!I was given this as a gift in exchange for a honest review.

As soon as I opened this beauty it struck me as very sleek and stylish which is how I want to feel after using the product. The instructions are very easy to follow and also have diagrams so you can’t go wrong really. When first using the lumea only put it to number 1 and give it time to warm up, you’ll know when it’s ready as it illuminates at the back of the lumea. When I used it for the very 1st time on number 1 I was surprised how warm it felt and was worried it would be to hot for me to use on level 4-5 which on the shade and tanning level of burning as advised in the instructions leaflet I could go up to but that wasn’t the case as it felt lovely. The best time to use your hair removal system is after shaving,waxing and epilating etc I usually use it a couple of days after shaving before using the lumea. I must admit it is quite time consuming using the system so I advise you deliberately set aside a good hour for yourself to have a well deserved pamper session after a stressful week at work or at home keeping things in order but it really is worth it as I have noticed a big difference in just 6 weeks of using it as I don’t have to shave as often and re-growth is less often so I’m hoping in time it’s near none existent. I do have one piece of advice for people with tattoos on areas that you use your lumea and it’s that I advise not to use it on them areas as it did feel like it was really burning badly and felt sore afterwards! It might be just me but I thought I would just put it out there incase it isn’t just me that had this problem. All in all I can’t fault this little gem and well worth the money in the long run when you think how much you spend in a salon. There’s also a facial compact trimmer included in with the Lumea laser hair removal system which is fab as it’s the size of a thick pen and so stylish that you can just pop it into your handbag and know you won’t get caught out if your out and about and spot a dreaded stray hair on your face or your brow needs a quick reshape.

I had been researching longer term alternatives to shaving and the Philips Lumea Advanced IPL seemed the perfect introduction to IPL technology, as well as offering long term hair free skin with repeated use.As a newbie to this type of treatment, I carefully read the detailed instructions and prepared my skin by shaving before use as directed. The device makes it easy to find the correct light intensity setting for you. I have very fair skin with dark blonde to light brown, fine to medium texture, hair and I found the 4 setting to be optimal for me. Before using the device, one of my concerns had been that the treatment would be uncomfortable or slightly painful so I was delighted to discover that it is actually a really pleasant way to achieve long term hair removal.The pulses are warming and I found the process relaxing. I really like the style of the Philips Lumea Advanced IPL, and its ergonomic design makes it easy to handle and use. The operating system, using just one settings button and the flash button, is very intuitive, and I always know that I have the device in the correct position as the 'ready to flash' strip on the back of the device will light up continuously when it detects the correct skin contact, and a gentle press of the flash button releases a pulse of light. Integrated safety features ensure the flash can not be activated unless correctly positioned, and will automatically disable if it detects too dark a skin tone so as to avoid skin reactions. This is a hair removal treatment that requires a little patience but within the first couple of weeks after my initial treatment, I noticed areas where hair was no longer growing and after using for just over 6 weeks (3 treatments), the hair free areas are increasing and in those areas where there is still some hair it is finer than usual, and is as a result of the nature of the growth stages of hair so, with continued use every 4 weeks or so I look forward achieving and maintaining long term hair free skin.

This is the first time I have used a hair removal device. I have always shaved or used cream which didn’t really suit my skin.I have been using the product for over 6 weeks now on a bi weekly basis as per instructions. There are 5 settings that you can play around with until you get the right one for your skin. The skin tone sensor will prevent you from using too high a setting which is a great built in feature, I did have to go down a setting on occasion when the sensor picked up a change in my skin tone.So far, I have used on my legs and underarms building up the confidence to use in other areas. The small lightweight gun shaped design is easy to use and manoeuvre with a decent length cord to allow movement up and down the leg.Once you select the correct window attachment for the area (there are 3) you simply press the window on to the skin, wait for the light to let you know it is ready to go and press the button before moving on to the next area. You do have to keep track of the areas you have flashed but for larger areas you can press and hold for continuous pulses. There is a very bright flash to let you know it has delivered the pulse and although not painful, you are aware it has connected with the skin.After the first use, I didn’t think anything was happening but I noticed a real difference after the second use. I could also see where I had missed small areas but that is down to my inexperience of using this kind of device. By week 6 and the 3rd use, there was a definite improvement and although not silky smooth, there was perhaps 70% clear and I intend to keep going perfecting my use of the device.On a side note, this is not to be used on the eyebrows but it comes with a separate facial hair trimmer which can be used for this area which is a great addition. It also comes with its own little bag which is great for storage.I would recommend [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I have been using the Philips Lumea Advanced IPL for over 6 weeks now. I was very skeptical at how well thise product would work. As the price tag is quite high I was hoping it would perform well.I read the instructions carefully and also downloaded the app. I prepared my skin by shaving it and followed the instructions to choose which setting to use.My skin tone is fairly pale so I decided to use the number 3 setting. The Lumea is very easy to use, plug it in, switch it on, select your setting by pressing the button the correct number of times and your ready to go. When you press the lumea gives off a bright flash. I thought it may hurt or zapp but i did not feel anything.The flash is very bright though so it is best to look at something else while you are doing the treatment. I decided to only do one leg and one under arm so i could see if it was making a difference. The treatment took me 15min to do my whole leg and under arm.After two weeks i had noticbley less regrowth on the treat leg and armpit. I have now complete 3 treatments in total and have very few hairs on the treated side. The difference is very noticable. The app is a great addition to the product as you can set a reminder for your treatments and it also has very clear instructions.Over all I am very impressed. The lumea was very easy to use and gave fantastic results. I was quite shocked at how good. I will definately keep doing top up treatments once I have fully treated my other leg and armpit. Ive had no side effects or pain. The only downside is the bright flash but watching Tv stopped me looking at it.Brilliant product that i will be recomending!

So i received my Philips lumea advance and my first impressions was very good. The box it came in was just the right size. The device was nice and sleek and came with its own handy bag. The compact pen trimmer was a nice size and very easy to hold. The mains plug had a nice long wire which is always a bonus.After reading the instructions it informs you that there is an app that you can download which i did. This app is good as you can input when you start treatment and it lets you know when you need to do the next treatment.Using the lumea for the first time was a bit tricky as you have to get the device right onto the skin and the light on the back needs to light up to say that it is ready but after 5 minutes i had the hang of it.When the light first flashed it was very strange but again you get very used to it. One down fall is when i used this on my lower leg where my tattoo is it felt like my leg was burning and stinging so i avoided my tattoos after that. On my first treatment i did my legs, arms, arm pits, belly, facial hair and my bikini line. After the first treatment i didn't really see a lot of difference nut after my second treatment i could defiantly see a massive improvement. I suffer with ingrowing hairs and this device has helped wonders with it. Which in turn has made me more confident.After my 3rd treatment i have been very shocked at how well it has worked. And you only have to do a top up treatment about once every 6 weeks which is even better.overall this is a fab bit of equipment and i will carry on using it as it is helped so much [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

So I have been using this product for 8 weeks. I believe my profile must be a pretty good match, I tan well without burning so have golden sort skin and brown hairs that apparently work best. To start with I didn’t think that anything was happening. Used a few times and seemed like hairs were still growing. But after using regularly as advised by others, I began to notice that by about week 3/4 the hair growth seemed to be slowing slightly. In fact didn’t need go worry about my legs for whole week, which for me is good as I can grow a forest in that time usually!!By week 6 the hair growth had reduced significantly.Although still visible if left for much longer than week the hair growth was less intense and almost completely minimal in places.I am now onto week 8 of using and although my legs are not the silky smooth that I thought they would be, I can say that I am seeing results in that the hair growth has significantly slowed and in the areas where there was hair but not a lot, it has pretty much stopped coming through.I had read a lot of bad reviews about this product. With customers complaining of no effect and bad skin reactions. So I was very sceptical and even slightly scared to use it. But I’m glad I plucked up the courage to use as for me, it has been fine. With no skin reactions and although as I said, results so far are not leaving me with silky smooth legs. I have noticed a difference and am confident that if I continue to use as direct soon enough shaving will be a thing of the past!!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

First off the packaging is really nice, instructions are clear and it is really easy to use. The machine is lovely to handle and use it came’s with a beautiful pouch which I store it in when I am not using it. My hair used to grow very fast To the point where I had to shave my legs every night even when I did shave my legs at night sadly I couldn't wear a skirt in the morning as the hair grew back. Since using this device for six weeks I started to see less hair growth after 2 sessions, and after 4 sessions in I can now go 7_10 days without noticing any hair in my underarms/legs/bikini area. My skin has got lovely and smooth as well and when the hair grows back, which is much less than the amount before,it's very soft and fine. I have noticed large amount of bold areas increasing after each session which is absolutely great. I plan to continue with sessions every 2 weeks and I can see never touching a razor again. This machine just exceeded my expectations and has really boosted my confidence as I can now wear dresses every day without having to worry about shaving which I hate so much!I cannot even describe how happy I am with this product, as I have dabbled and struggled with pretty much every tool and method of hair-removal since early teens to my late twenties. As a time-tested enemy of body hair I give Lumea my seal of approval and would happily recommend this product to anyone willing to invest in a little more time and effort into remaining hair free.

I am 31 years old, the hairy type. So much that when I was 19, I decided to spend 3000£ to undergo laser treatment for a year on full legs and bikini line. I simply hate hair on my body and the thought of being free from it seemed like a dream. And it was! After a few months of completing the full course of treatments I had to start waxing again. It was a complete waste of money and, I had worked really hard for it. It was a let down and I didn’t want to hear about laser of IPL anymore! Ten years later, a few friends started raving about the Philips Lumea and I couldn’t help but tell them my story. Then, other friends and coworkers sent me pictures and text messages of their personal results using Lumea so I decided to give it a go.I’m honest and I wasn’t expecting much but I was Wrong! I am so happy I decided to give it a go with this product. My only regret is Not using the Lumea Advance sooner. But don’t think you will do it in a blink of an eye! Even if you buy the Lumea which is an EXCEPTIONAL PRODUCT, you will need to be committed and constant! Follow the instructions and have patience. You will very soon see results. THANK YOU PHILIPS!. I’m attaching a picture of my leg after 3 weeks and my second use. You can clearly see hair growing in “stripes”. This is most probably because these are the “lines” that I’ve missed. So I decided to use a white eye kohl to assist me reducing the space between one treated areas and the next one. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I was sceptical at first about using this product, but I’m so happy I did. Before use make sure you read the manual carefully so that you know what setting you need for your skin tone. The manual is easy to understand and really helpful. I also downloaded the app which is very useful.I prepared my skin as per instructions, then it was time to use the Lumea Advanced. It was really easy to set up, there are 3 different heads you choose from, which had a handy pictures on so you know which one is needed, you choose your setting and off you go. I like the fact that if you press the button away from your skin it won’t light up, it will only work when against your skin, it lights up when ready.At first I gave me a fright as I wasn’t expecting it! It doesn’t hurt, it just gives you a very slight warm tingling sensation. The Lumea Advanced is lovely to hold, fits in your hand great and lightweight. I found that going up the ankle wouldn’t work easily so went round and worked great. The fact it has a long cord is a bonus, and holding down the button gives a blast every few seconds so really quick to do my legs.I was nervous to use on my face (upper lip/chin) but it was fine. I was so happy with the results, I was a shave every couple of days kind of person and instantly in the first 2 weeks I didn’t need to shave! I could feel hairs but not like normal. I’m looking forward to keep using this product. It really does work. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I did a lot of research before finally buying this product. I have pale skin and strong dark hair, so from all the information I’d read I guessed I’d have a good combination for reasonable results. I usually epilate my legs and armpits and get my bikini waxed. But I’d started having problems with waxing and depilatory creams ie allergic reaction. So whilst I’d considered an IPL I hadn’t wanted to pay out fo much in one go. One day my husband decided to shave his chest and then followed up using my epilator. After 10 seconds of shouting words I can’t put in a review he said “we are buy one of those Phillips IPL things”. So we bought one and we are both totally in love with it.After 2/3 uses his chest is almost totally hair free and smooth as silk. My arm pits are almost completely bald too. My legs have patches that are clearly hair free too. My bikini line is coming along really nicely too. It’s easy to use, quick and having an other half or friend to assist with backs if legs and arm outs is a really bonus. So far really pleased with this and loving the app that reminds me when we are due a treatment. As me if I’d swap it for waxing or anything the answer would be no. I used to pay £50+ every 4 weeks for waxing which would last about 2 weeks before the regrow they showed too much and I’d have terrible ingrowing hairs. I haven’t had any issues with this. So this is pain free, effective and easy to use at home - what’s not to love.

I have struggled with at home hair removal in the past. I found razors left a rash, creams were too harsh and irritated my skin and waxing was far too messy for me. This seemed like the perfect alternative and I haven’t been let down! The device is light weight and easy to hold. It comes with two extra attachments for removing facial hair (not eyebrows!) and hairs from the bikini line or underarm. There is a very detailed guide supplied which explains how to find the correct setting for your skin/hair type which you have to manually input in the back of the device. This is very easy to do. One you have selected the correct window attachment for the area where you wish to remove hair,you simply press the window down on to the skin and press the button before moving on to the next area. When the button is pressed, there is a flash. The sensation is not painful but you do feel a warm buzz on your skin. It didn’t work as quickly as I expected, so don’t expect instant results. After the third bi-weekly session I was actually starting to think it wasn’t working but after the fourth, the difference in hair growth was very noticeable. I have used this on my legs, bikini line and underarms and I can really see a difference. The device also comes with a separate facial hair trimmer which can also be used to trim your eyebrows. It’s a handy little tool but I’m not quite sure why it was included. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I have played with the idea of getting one of these for years but was worried about the price. Im so gutted I didnt do it years ago. Best piece of beauty care kit Iv ever owned..worth every penny!When I opened the box was pleased with the build quality of the Lumea..it feels well made and comes with a nice pouch to keep it in. (Although I think the box is the best place to keep it really as it offers more protection from knocks or drops)Its a bit daunting the first time you use it but really is nothing to be worried about, it really is painless, hassle free hair removal. I have PCOS so have a fair amount of body/facial hair, but after 7 weeks use Im as smooth as an apple, rather than a fuzzy peach!The Lumea is ergonomically designed so is easy to hold and use, even for little hands its not an issue as it looks a big bit of kit but the design of the handle is really easy to utilise it on whichever body part you need to.The attachments for various body parts make hitting the correct area really easy and intimate/facial areas are done in a jiffy. Long term results seem to be amazing as I havent touched an old school razor for weeks now! Cant really see me going back to any of my old methods of hair removal now..will be shouting from the rooftops to all my lady friends to get one..it really is brilliant.
