IPL technology for home use, developed with dermatologists

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. It’s a technology that uses warm gentle light to put hair to sleep. Light travels to the hair’s root causing the follicle to go into a resting phase and stimulating the hair to be released. Repeat treatments gradually prevent hair from growing back, leaving your skin beautifully hair-free and touchably smooth. Philips Lumea is developed with dermatologists and clinically tested to ensure easy, effective and comfortable treatments even on sensitive areas, all from the comfort of your own home.

Proven gentle and effective treatment

Objective studies show up to 92% hair reduction after three treatments*. Carry out the first four treatments every two weeks, and the next eight treatments every four weeks. After 12 treatments you can enjoy six months of hair-free smooth skin**.

* Median result: 58% hair reduction after 12 treatments

** Median hair reductions after 12 treatments: 78% on legs, 64% on bikini, 65% on armpits

Suitable for a wide range of hair and skin types

Philips Lumea IPL 9000 Series is effective on a wide range of hair and skin types. It works on naturally dark blonde, brown and black hair and on skin tones from very white to dark brown. IPL needs contrast between the pigment in the hair color and the pigment in the skin tone, therefore (as with other IPL-based treatments) Philips Lumea IPL cannot be used to treat white, grey, light blonde or red hair. It is also not suitable for very dark skin.
