Description
Discover Philips Lumea: the No1. Brand in IPL*
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.
Philips Lumea, derived from salon professional IPL technology, makes it possible to remove hair safely, effectively and easily at home. Philips Lumea Prestige is the culmination of 14 years of research and development in collaboration with some of the leading dermatologists.
IPL device with curved attachments for each body area
Inspired by the uniqueness of each body area, Philips Lumea Prestige features specifically designed attachments to best suit the needs of the different body areas. The attachments are shaped for optimal skin contact and effectiveness, with bespoke window sizes and filters for ultimate precision. The large, curved body attachment offers fast and effective treatment on larger areas (8.5 min to treat lower legs**), while the small face attachment provides gentle and precise treatment for the upper lip, chin and jawline. The bikini attachment is specially curved to match those delicate areas and ensure maximum comfort and effectiveness.

Suitable Hair And Skin Types
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.
Proven Effectiveness
Studies show up to 92 per cent hair reduction in just 3 treatments***, resulting in smooth, hair-free skin. To maintain results, touch-up every 4 to 8 weeks.
SmartSkin Sensor
The SmartSkin sensor advises the best setting for your skin tone, anytime you want.

How does Philips Lumea prevent hair growth?
Gentle pulses of light are applied directly to the hair. The melanin in the hair and hair root absorbs the light pulses. This process results in the follicle going into a resting phase. The hair sheds naturally and regrowth is inhibited. A simple and gentle treatment once every two to four weeks will prevent hair roots from becoming active again and prevent new hair from growing back.
How to Use - Five steps to everlasting smoothness:
1. Pre-shave the treatment area to ensure the light energy is channeled in the most efficient way to the follicle. This is only required for the first few treatments.
2. Consult the skin and hair type matrix and select the light intensity suitable for your skin tone and body hair colour.
3. Apply gentle pulses of light to the hair. The light produces heat in the hair, which is transferred to the hair follicle. This stimulates the hair follicle to go into a resting phase.
4. As a consequence, the hair sheds naturally and hair regrowth is inhibited.
5. To prevent hairs from growing back, the treatment must be repeated every two weeks (or every month for legs) which will progressively reduce hair regrowth to a minimum.
Is Lumea right for me?
Philips Lumea works effectively on (naturally) dark-blonde, brown and black hair. As with other light-based treatments. It is not suitable for (naturally) red, grey and light blonde hair or for very dark skin types. Please consult the comparison table to determine which light intensities are most suitable for your skin and body hair colour and to check if this method is suitable for you at all (if it is not, this is indicated with an x ).
Please Note:
Unfortunately, Philips Lumea is not designed for everyone. If any of the following is true for you, then this appliance is not suitable for you to use.
If your natural hair colour in the treatment areas is light blonde, white, grey or red.
If you have naturally dark brown or very dark brown skin, you rarely or never get sunburnt and you tan very darkly. In this case you run a high risk of developing skin reactions such as strong redness, burns or discolouration when you use Philips Lumea.
Philips Lumea has been optimised for use by women but recent research showed that it can be used by men on most areas of the body, except the beard and scrotum.
There are medications and health conditions that may lead to adverse reactions when you use Philips Lumea. Please visit the Philips website for full safety information as well as usage instructions before and after tanning.
