The answer is no. ... I’d also say that from other reviews I’ve read, it’s not guaranteed to work on all skin types, and results can really vary from person to person. I’ve not noticed because I didn’t have any permanent ones. Does The Philips Lumea IPL hair removal system work without pain Does it burn your skin The Philips Lumea IPL hair removal system is up to £400 the lowest price you can get is around £200. Super quick. I do find the app a bit frustrating – it’s useful the first time as it tells you what to expect, what to do and gives you some encouraging words for your hair zapping journey. Considering that the tria is a true laser like the ones they use at clinics I leant more towards that one but then reviews said that it has a smaller area coverage and took ages so I stuck with Philips. I’m thinking about buying this device for myself, but I’m wondering what do you mean you should avoid using it in some areas, like scars? I saved well over £100 on my machine which made the decision to try IPL at home that much easier. then go for it. If that is the case, do you shave every 2-3 days prior to each session? Tip needed – I struggle to get the leg head to align with the thinner parts of my leg, mainly around the shin. 1. In fact, it is not suitable for legs or larger areas. The only way to truly test it would be to compare the two (Tria on one leg, Philips on the other, but who’s going to do that?). I can imagine if I had darker skin or lighter hair it wouldn’t look this bad but the way it is, I need laser touch ups every 3 months or so to keep my face hair free. I thought you are supposed to avoid sun at all costs during this procedure, so…proceed with the device during the night? I have been thinking of buying this IPL machine for quite some time now but i am on the fence since i have had a lot of laser sessions in the past ( Not diode or IPL, it was a laser called Alexandrite which i was told was way better than both of them ) I have had like 20 sessions on my face , around 10 sessions on my armpits and bikini and around 5-6 on my legs. I had 3-4 months, when I didn’t use it at all after using it for 3 months religiously, now I completed my 3rd treatment starting up again since then and I can say that I’m almost back to the initial ‘hairless’ result I had after the initial 3 months. This was such a fantastic review! Thank you for the very descriptive review! Answer – yes and no. Hi Edward, that’s interesting to hear about your experience with professional removal. Thanks Gail – good to know it isn’t LESS painful when the professionals do it, ha ha! IPL has been by far the most effective way of keeping the hairs thin/dead that I’ve found. My leg hair took off and went wild after 18. I at least have reduced hairs to work on, but I need to do that initial 8-10 weeks again. It’s probably the best one online. Good luck! Good luck with your hair removal adventure. A word on pre-care. For the record, I ended up buying the Philips Lumea Prestige. The beautician persisted like this for half an hour before turning to the tweezers (Peru). Before using the Lumea, legs must be hair free. Best thing to do is email the manufacturer. Excelente review, this kind of detail is perfect when the product can have so many different opinions. Sure, I’m British but I have dark hair and it gets darker the further south you go, if you know what I mean. You can actually purchase non branded ones on EBay for a tenth of the price, if you’re not worried about delivery times you can get a really Eva multi head one, it doesn’t have the app but you can change the intensity, I used almost the highest first go, didn’t feel it on my legs apart from moles or my bikini line/crack but my air pits were actually horrifically painful, an hour later they’ve just settled down, it also only took an hour To do all of it as well and my leg hairs are worse than a mans xx, Hi JeJe, thanks for jumping in. That would have been cool if it wasn’t used/worn denim and didn’t hurt like hell. Does the Philips Lumea IPL hair removal device really work? hair removal device that uses gentle pulses of light to prevent hair regrowth at the root (IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light What I wanted to ask is how well this machine works for the Brazilian area? After a few uses, most of the treated area will have a reduced amount of body hair, and if you stick with it, eventually all the hair will be gone. I will say though that I really really struggle to get the facial attachment to work at all. I’ve not been paid or sponsored by Philips to write this. Philips say ‘no’. Hi Sasha, good idea on the lockdown activity. In most cases, these effects disappeared within an hour. Hi Leen, I bought the one that was on offer ;p By looking at the models, it’s seems like they’re all pretty similar with new models released over the years. If you want to buy an IPL device, it’s tough to look past the Philips Lumea Prestige. Have you tried it? I would like to buy philips lumea prestige but really I do not know ,is it suitable for bekini? Sometimes for months at a time. Don’t just zap on full power, you need to zap at the level suggested for your skin tone so you don’t fry your skin! Good luck! Really dont know could u help me ? Like you I can’t shave due to ingrown and boils. I use a cheap bikini trimmer before using the Lumea. Was just wondering if you had any comments on the tria technology vs IPL? I would use tweezers and manually pluck them out but my neck can get strained from looking downwards at that angle. burning myself in a place I can’t even talk about trying epilation cream ‘down there’ when I’d become too jaded by my waxing experiences overseas but wanted to hit the beach (Mexico). The machines are designed to penetrate light below the skin and I’d hate for anyone to injure themselves. After all this money and time i noticed that yes i have had a great reduction but i still have hair in those areas. PS: I consider you very tough. At first I did shave pre-IPL and the ingrowns were worse than ever. Hi Saf, I’ve described my Brazilian experience in detail in the post. under 5 minutes to do my bikini area (longer if you spend time chanting ‘I can’t do it – be brave – I can’t do it’). I did remove any hairs in between i.e. So, that’s my Philips Lumea review. Thans Deanna – I felt a bit awkward doing the photos but it’s what I wanted to see online so there they are (my mum is so proud, ha ha). being waxed with strips of denim in India. Does the Philips Lumea work? Just read your review, thank you it has helped me make up my mind. Before then I never shaved because I was not ashamed of it even though I knew I was a bit hairy. Not ideal for your lady garden if it’s being regularly visited and you need to explain you don’t have downstairs alopecia. Having a product to use at home is far more convenient. Also, from what I understood you have to do these sessions every 2-3 days during the initial phase. But here’s the thing – both with at home IPL and professional IPL, it requires upkeep. I have just finished the initial ‘boot camp’ phase and have seen results, but not as much as I was hoping for before I go into maintenance. After those initial treatments, my underarm hairs have become wisps that friends genuinely tell me they can’t see, even when I’m paranoid that I looked like a yeti. I’ve always found Philips products deliver better compared to cheaper alternatives I’ve tried. I’m currently functioning pretty well with my yelp out loud method of pain management though I think my neighbours might prefer the ice pack ;p. I cycle a lot and suffer from ingrown hairs as a result. There is clearly an improvement after the two first sessions; the hairs grows thinner and most of it its gone as seen on the photo. I honestly couldn’t be happier. That simple, huh? Well, if you need to imagine it, it’s like a teenager that hit puberty and starts having this hair problems. Would love to hear your response! These are questions I get quite often, and I’m actually amazed about how popular this device became lately. I also travel. I’m also a fan of Philips products more generally. Knowing it was too late to send the IPL machine back, I decided to give it another full go. Hi Lisa, I completely understand. But at the same time becomes a double-whammy of time and cost. That was a deal breaker for me. Thoughts on the two? Hi Harlan, I’ve quickly come to realise that the second I wrote about this topic, all questions and all TMI was fair game, ha ha. For me, that was fine because I was ‘hot sweaty country, don’t want hair’ motivated so don’t really care what the fashions are. I got the Phillips Lumea and honestly I was blown away. Since then, I told my 2 friends to get it and one of them similarly said ‘best couple hundred I’ve spent on myself’, the other one is just getting started with the treatment. But bare in mind, I used only on my legs, and now I’m doing my hands (to keep updated). I was between this device and the tria4X. It is an IPL hair removal system, so it works like elimination of hair regrowth, so we can enjoy smooth skin for … So, I don’t tend to want to carry a lady rug around in my underwear or nestled in the pit of my arm. I find the app to be very useful to tracks your hair removal sessions and love the fact they send me reminders. You’re then supposed to give yourself a top up blast every 4-8 week to keep the hairs at bay. I would say up to 20+ sessions on my face and about 8 or 9 on my legs. . The Philips Lumea actually won’t work on light skin tones as it has an inbuilt mechanism to prevent it from allowing the pulsed light to beam out when it touches darker skin tones. I have a question, is it ok to use an epilator to remove the hair or it must be shaved by razor? Does the Philips Lumea work? Overall I am happy with the machine, and although I am not hair free there I totally recommend it. you do not need a white pencil to mark the areas – it blocks the laser (I mention this because there are lots of articles about it on the inter webs); it’s quicker (you’ll have less recharge time between each zap) if you use the Lumea plugged in –  the zaps will be almost instant. Thank you. I’ve been thinking about buying this myself, I’ve been getting my laser done for almost 2 year’s. Oh? If you have to shave prior to zapping, would you still get stubble growing or are the hairs that grow back softer? What was your experience? She has seen how many of my hairs (even in my bikini area) have weakened significantly. Some users of Lumea described feeling 'a warm sensation', 'prickling' or 'itching' etc during or after treatment. Also, I feel that area is straying into ‘not for internal use’ :/ I don’t think it will be as painful as elsewhere – it’s a less painful area for me during a wax. Second all the positive reviews that backed up the device actually WORKS and third, because no replacement bulbs, like Remington IPL device requires. Have you tried it? The last time I got laser hair removal treatment on my legs, was in November 2018. Switch it on and select the right head (each corresponds with a body part with handy images). This generates a focused heat, which is attracted to the melanin in your skin and hair. I find this the most frustrating part of using the Philips Lumea so any tips welcome on how to do this better. But just wanted to know what I can expect for a Brazilian as it’s thinned it but there’s still a lot of hairs. Just wondering if there is enough hair growth between sessions to shave every 2-3 days? I am very fair skinned with dark hair though, it hasn't touched the few hairs that are white. Your thoughts on your body hair doesn’t need to be fashion driven. I mention that not to be irresponsible but because I see that some salons will treat younger people. On a practical note, just looking at the Tria, that device is going to take forever with such a small laser area and you’d need to be a lot more precise. So I decided to go ahead, buy one and write a Philips Lumea review myself. Ohh, and I haven’t used a numbing cream; like most people use while doing their IPL hair removal sessions. And Amazon USA and rest of the world here. if I’ve been on holiday and my legs are more tanned. 3.
