Philips LUMEA uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), the latest advanced technology used by the professional beauty industry for hair removal, adapted for use at home. Women can now say goodbye to expensive courses of salon laser treatments, painful waxing sessions, short-term results and unsightly reactions like in-grown hairs and shaving rashes. Gentle pulses of light are applied directly to the hair, resulting in the follicle going into a resting phase and shedding naturally. A simple and gentle treatment once every two to four weeks prevents new hair from growing back, ensuring beautifully smooth and ready-to-reveal skin every day and all year round.
