Does Lumea get rid of hair permanently?

Both Braun and Philips Lumea IPL devices do permanently reduce hair. So when the Lumea suggests you perform maintenance treatments every eight weeks, that’s not to say you’ll have hairy legs after eight weeks! It just means that you’ll need to catch the tiny hairs that might be making a break for it.

How long does it take to see results with Philips Lumea?

Philips say you’ll need about 4 to 5 treatments, 1 every 2 weeks (taking 8 weeks), to see significant hair reduction results. A whole-body session takes approx. 40 minutes.

Is IPL worth buying?

If shaving, plucking or waxing just aren’t cutting it when it comes to hair removal, IPL – aka “intense pulse light” – might be worth a try.

What happens if you don’t remove hair before IPL?

What happens if you do IPL without shaving?

As we mentioned a little earlier, if you don’t shave before your appointment, the laser will singe the hair resulting in a burn to your skin.
