Philips Lumea Advanced IPL Hair Removal Device (Model BRI921/00)

Really good! You see results almost instantly! The lip shaver is rubbish though. And make sure not to catch your tattoo’s as I caught mine and it swelled up and has sucked some ink out. Other than that I can't fault!

I got this device after having professional Lazer hair removal sessions that worked amazingly. But then the hair started to grow back after a time and I didn't want to spend that kind of money again.

I was skeptical as I have light tan skin that has tanned quite dark this year and it's not the same as a laser treatment but it works great. I've done two sessions so far and the hair is growing back obviously patchy (my poor technique when using) but it's very clear where the hair has been treated and isn't regrowing.

I’ve used this for about 12 weeks now and definitely see a reduction in hair on areas I’ve used it. The hair grows back very slowly now and comes through in patches, with some areas being apparently completely bald.

Some cons:
The device overheats and will stop working after extended use. If I try to do my legs all in one go after completing one leg the device will need to be switched off for several minutes until it has cooled down and can be used for my other leg. Not the biggest issue but a minor annoyance.

Secondly, it would be nice if it had an additional smaller lens as I have some troublesome hairs on my fingers which are basically impossible to zap with this as you need complete coverage of the lens before it lets you do the zappy.

Philips Lumea Advanced IPL is quite pricey but it's definitely worth the money in the end. It actually works! If you commit to using it properly and following the instructions the results can be amazing. It makes summer so much easier not having to shave every other day. I had previously used an older IPL machine from a different well-known brand...it was heavy, awkward to use and results were minimal. Philips Lumea is the complete opposite. It's light so you can bring it with you when you travel and it's much faster to use. Overall I would highly recommend this product.

This is the second hair removal unit 10 x better than the first hair removal unit which the battery discharges after 10 mins of use which had for 3 years, now this new one even better plug straight into mains no charging just use in one go whole body if you like seems more powerful than the battery unit only now use once a month as a top-up for random hairs, be patient at the start after 3 months of use once every 2 weeks you notice a big difference, hairs stop growing back or are small and fine, after years can go months if you forget to use and then only random hairs.
