Philips Lumea uses an innovative light-based technology called IPL, derived from the technology used in professional beauty salons. Gentle pulses of light are applied that put the hair into the resting phase. These hairs naturally shed in the 1-2 weeks post treatment and further regrowth is inhibited, leaving you with silky smooth skin.
Philips has worked closely with leading dermatologists and expert scientists to develop our breakthrough hair removal system, carrying out extensive consumer research with more than 2000 volunteers. These clinical studies have shown significant hair reduction in as little as two fortnightly treatments, with optimal hair free results achieved after four to five fortnightly treatments. To maintain these results, simply repeat treatment every four to six weeks. (Time between treatments may vary based on your individual hair regrowth).
Philips Lumea works effectively on (naturally) dark blonde, brown and black hairs. As with other light-based treatments, Philips Lumea is NOT effective on red, light-blonde or white/grey hair. Philips Lumea is also NOT suitable for dark skin.
Enjoy over 75 per cent hair reduction after only four bi-weekly treatments. After these four treatments, you can enjoy the freedom of smooth skin for up to two months between treatments.
Philips Lumea has five adjustable light energy settings to ensure gentle but effective treatment. Used correctly, Philips Lumea's IPL treatment is safe and gentle to use even on sensitive skin and sensitive body areas.
Lumea has 2 treatment modes; Slide and Flash is ideal for fast treatment of larger areas such as legs - you simply glide the device over the skin you want to treat, smoothly and quickly. To treat curvy areas or targeted zones, such as bikini line, you have the option of Step and Flash mode too.
