Philips Lumea Prestige IPL Hair Removal Device with SenseIQ Technology (Model BRI944/00)

Would 100% recommend this IPL machine. Easy to use and good value for money! So worth it as now I hardly have to shave!

I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Philips Lumea IPL Hair Removal 8000 Series laser hair removal device, and I must say, I am absolutely thrilled with the results! This revolutionary product has completely transformed my hair removal routine, and I can't wait to share my experience. From the moment I opened the box, I was impressed by the sleek and ergonomic design of the device. It felt comfortable to hold and maneuver, making it easy to target even the most hard-to-reach areas. The clear instructions provided made the setup process a breeze, and I appreciated the safety precautions outlined to ensure a hassle-free experience. But what truly amazed me was the effectiveness of the laser itself. With just a few sessions, I noticed a significant reduction in hair growth. Not only did the hair become finer and less noticeable, but I also experienced a noticeable delay in regrowth. Unlike traditional methods that require frequent maintenance, this laser hair removal device offers long-lasting results that save both time and effort in the long run. One of the standout features for me was the different intensity settings, allowing me to customize the treatment based on my comfort level and skin sensitivity. The built-in skin tone sensor provided an added layer of safety by automatically adjusting the intensity to match my skin's unique needs. This feature alone made me feel confident in using the device at home. I also appreciated the thoughtful details, such as the integrated cooling system that helped soothe my skin during and after each session, minimizing any discomfort. The device's compact size makes it perfect for travel, ensuring I can maintain my routine wherever I go. In conclusion, the Philips Lumea IPL Hair Removal 8000 Series has exceeded my expectations in every way. Its user-friendly design, remarkable effectiveness, and personalized settings make it a game-changer in the world of hair removal. Say goodbye to the inconvenience of frequent shaving or waxing – this device offers a hassle-free, long-term solution. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient way to achieve smooth, hair-free skin.

Life changing, I have had IPL hair removal professionally on my face, 12 sessions and this is by far better. In just 8 weeks (or using weekly) I now have no hair on my body, eyes down! Absolutely life changing before the summer holidays. Heat level/pain is bearable on the highest setting (each area just depends) but you have the autonomy to choose a lower setting. I can't believe I waited until 28 years old to buy this, if only I had been better informed!! Have encouraged all my friends to buy.

I know that this is an expensive purchase and it can be hard to find genuine reviews which reflect use over time. I intend to keep this review regularly updated to help other sufferers decide whether it is worth the financial plunge. I bought this Lumea about six weeks ago and have only used it on my face and underarms so far. However, is really easy to use 'straight out of the box'. It is essential to do a skin test to ensure you do not have a bad reaction to any of the intensity settings. Being light-skinned with dark hair, I am the ideal candidate for treatment. Thus far, I have found the pain to be minimal, with only one or two 'make me jump' moments under my arms!! It is easy to transport and I took it on holiday with me to maintain treatments. The wire is a decent length, probably about 5ft, allowing me to easily do my treatments in a bathroom mirror. *Armpits* I have done four treatments and the regrowth is about 60% less already!! It is smooth in these successful areas and shaving takes no time at all now. I suspect that with a few more weekly treatments, I will only need quick, monthly maintenance sessions (which take about 2 minutes per armpit). Thus far, the Lumea has been a HUGE success underarm and it is certainly NOT the pits. *Face* This is my biggest problem area (and an emotionally-distressing one) so I am really keen for the Lumea to work on my face. Thus far, after 5 treatments, I am not noticing a lot of difference aside from considerably-reduced growth on my upper lip (the regrowth is very slow and hair has decreased by about half). However, whilst the growth has slowed a little on the rest of my face, I still need to shave every day. It is quite disappointing but I do understand that hormonal issues make hair removal harder. Due to the success with my underarms though, I am persevering with weekly sessions and will update again in a month! Update: Oct '24. My update is a little later than planned due to caring for my Mum who has dementia. However, I am still not noticing much change in my facial hair besides slightly slower growth (I still have to tackle it every day though). The effect on my armpits remains good, despite not using the Lumea in this area for about 6 weeks. Currently, it is about a month before I need to shave my arm pits, whereas before I used the Lumea, I would shave every 7-10 days. So, the main reason for which I bought the Lumea (my face) has not been successful so far. I am going to persist until the new year but at the moment, I would say that it was NOT worth the investment. If things change though, I'll update accordingly.

I had about 7 sessions of professional laser hair removal done in 2022 at £60 per area. I stopped going for over a year as I wasn't well. I decided at the beginning of 2024 that I would start going again to finish the job but I ended up buying this at home device instead. I was a bit skeptical that it would work but I thought at least I could use it regularly at home. To my surprise it is more effective than the professional laser I'd been having done in a salon. I started a new area and after 3 uses there is no hair coming back. I use level 5 on my legs and can't feel it at all. Level 5 is a bit more uncomfortable in the arm pits but is still bareable
