What is IPL?
Philips Lumea uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to break the cycle of hair regrowth. Pulses of light are absorbed by the hair root and after several treatments, hair is prevented from growing back. Lumea is the only IPL with SenseIQ – atechnology designed to understand what your skin needs during treatments, and adapts to be as sensitive as it is effective.
After 14 years of research with leading dermatologists, Philips Lumea places IPL technology into your own hands. With a Lumea there’s no need to visit the salon– you can achieve long-lasting hair removal safely, in your own home.
Is it suitable for me?
Philips Lumea Prestige works effectively on a wide variety of hair and skin types – from naturally dark blonde, brown and black coloured hairs and on skin tones from very white to dark brown. As with other IPL-based treatments, Philips Lumea cannot be used to treat white/grey, light blonde or red hair and is not suitable for very dark skin. This is due to the high contrast required between the pigment in hair colour and pigment in the skin tone.
Please note Lumea 7000 Series Advanced BRI923 is not suitable for medium – dark brown skin, the rest of the range is.
If Lumea is not suited to your skin and hair type, Philips has a range of epilators, lady shavers and trimmers that could keep your skin hair-free for days or weeks! Shop here.
