How does Philips Lumea work?

Philips Lumea uses an innovative light-based technology called Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to break the cycle of hair regrowth. Gentle pulses of light are applied at the root and, after several treatments, hair is prevented from growing back. Derived from salon professional IPL technology, Philips Lumea makes it possible to remove hair safely, effectively and easily. Lumea is the culmination of 14 years of research and is clinically tested and developed with dermatologists for easy and effective treatment, from the comfort of your own home.

Proven effectiveness

Objective studies show up to 85% hair reduction in as little as 3 treatments***. The first 4 treatments must be carried out every 2 weeks, after which you should already be able to see the desired results. To maintain your results, simply touch up every 4 weeks. After just 8 touch up treatments you can enjoy hair-free smooth skin for at least 12 months**

Suitable Hair and Skin Types

Philips Lumea 7000 Series 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 medium 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. With the 100 days money back guarantee, try it! 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!

Skin Tone Sensor

For extra safety the integrated skin tone sensor measures the treated skin complexion at the beginning of each session and occasionally during the session. If it detects a skin tone that is too dark for this product it will automatically stop emitting pulses.
