Best Philips Personal Health IPL Machines
Philips Lumea Advanced IPL
Best hair removal item ever! – I bought the item 5 weeks ago for myself and teenage daugter for our legs, arms and bikini area. I have always been a hairy person and hated it,… Read more
olive skin and black hair! My daughter too!
So after waxing for the past 25 years, I spotted this product and read so many reviews that I just had to try it.
The results after 2 weeks on my legs were amazing, I had no hairs on either sides of my shin and then within 3 weeks the hairs were starting to show in just patches. The bikini area took a little longer, but after 4 weeks I have no hair on the outside of the bikini line about an ich in my case and I went for the runway look and the hair is going after 5 weeks inside my pant line, I have no ingrown hairs, no razor bumps and I finally feel and look smooth (far better than waxing, which hair cames through within a few weeks for me). Underarms are patchy, but I will keep it up.
I have used it once a week on setting 5, its very easy to use. I also use a very good razor to shave first and also use a clear shave gel and oil myself after use. My daughter is waxing so has slower results.
Just a couple of negatives - On my boney ankles I struggle to get contact, my daughter has hairy feet and it just does not work there. I also think its worth buying in winter getting rid of the hair for spring/summer, then all you have to do it the maintence top up in the summer months. I bought it in the summer, but its mostly rained, just buy it at least 3 months before your main holiday away!
I am giving this product a 5 out of 5.
I do not work for Phillips or any retailers. I wish I had bought it years ago, thats my only regret. I cannot wait to go on holiday this year and have no worrys about hair or ingrown hair/bumps on my bikini line.

Worth it for sure – I started to get IPL on my facial hair as I have pretty bad skin for shaving and it would always hurt to shave, I also can't grow a beard so that… Read more
didn't help at all. I was going to a clinic to get IPL done on my face and it worked a treat however I had to drive 200kms as I live in a country town and I noticed my facial hair was going white so I stopped getting the treatments. I decided to buy one of these and give it a go at home and so far I have been impressed. My facial hair is taking a while to diminish however it is slowing and I can tell the difference. Also, the colour has come back so I'm thinking the clinic had the laser setting on too high and was overdoing it.
I actually enjoy using this machine. It is a little slow with its flash rate, I really do wish I could get something like this that was a faster machine to use but I paid less then half price for it and I'm very happy with the results so far.
