"Is Philips Lumea Prestige right for me?" Philips Lumea Prestige works efficiently, easily and safely on a wide variety of hair and skin types. It works on dark blonde, natural, satin and brunette hair and on skin tones from very light 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 hair color pigment and the skin tone pigment. Operating modes: adapt them according to your needs Do you want to use Philips Lumea Prestige quickly or do you want to use it only on a small surface? No problem. With the swipe and pulsation and application and pulsation modes you can adapt it to your needs. The device is provided with two ways of feeding. You can use it both wirelessly and traditionally - by connecting it to the network, with the help of the cable. What do users say about Philips Lumea? PracticalIt's practical. The videos you posted helped me to use it. I'm upset because I didn't find heads for the axillary and groin area with the product I bought. I didn't ask when I bought it because I didn't know, I saw it later in the videos. Can you send me these 2 products separately or can I use the body end in these areas as well? Mirmar Very effective product I used the product in the Philips test campaign and I am very satisfied with the results. Hairs grow considerably slower and there are certain parts of the skin where they no longer grow. The effects became much more visible after the 3rd use and on the portions with thinner hair (hands), the result is registered the fastest. I recommend with confidence. The light really works. I was very skeptical before buying this product, the opinions of others weren't too convincing either, in the end it was just my decision, but the results were excellent even from the first use, it was worth the investment! The hair disappears completely after the 3rd session. SummerIsHere Use the Philips Lumea IPL smartphone application Download the Philips Lumea IPL application on your mobile phone.

What is the age at which we can start using the Lumea device? The device is not intended for use by children under 15 years of age. Adolescents aged between 15 and 18 can use the device with the consent and/or under the supervision of their parents or persons who have legal authority over them. Adults aged at least 18 can use the device without any restrictions. Is treatment with the Lumea device painful? In the clinical studies with the Lumea device, none of the women who followed the treatment classified it as painful, in the case of choosing the setting corresponding to the shade of the skin and hair. During the tests, some women said that they felt a sensation of heat, tingling or itching, symptoms that disappeared in most cases in a few minutes or in an hour at the most. To learn how to use the Philips Lumea device, we recommend that you do tests by applying pulsations at the lowest level of light intensity, near the area from which you want to remove hair. When the unpleasant sensation passes, you can increase the intensity of the light - if needed - but the treatment should not be painful. Can I use the Lumea device for complete hair removal in the groin area (e.g. for "Brazilian" hair removal)? The device is safe and delicate and can be used in the entire groin area - e.g. for "Brazilian" or "Hollywood" epilation (leave a strip of hair or completely remove the hair). To avoid any discomfort, you must use a lower level of light intensity in areas where the skin is more pigmented. In the case of sensitive intimate areas, you can use a lower step, established according to the individual level of comfort. A lower step must be used because these areas are more sensitive to the IPL action and it is possible to feel discomfort. The Lumea device cannot be used on the labia minora nor around the vagina or anus. Aren't the light pulses emitted by the Lumea epilator dangerous for the eyes? The Philips Lumea device was developed focusing on the safety of use and is not dangerous for the eyes. The safety system prevents the emission of pulsations when the device is not completely in contact with the skin. Make sure that the device is in contact with the skin, to avoid scattering the light and never use it in the area around the eyes or in the area of the eyebrows. While using the device, it is not necessary to wear protective glasses. Use the Lumea epilator in an optimally lit room, so that the light is less dazzling. Appropriate lighting of the room reduces the perceptible intensity of the pulsation. Can the Lumea epilator be applied to moles and freckles? Not. The Philips Lumea epilator cannot be used directly on large moles or freckles or in the area around them. If there is a mole in the area you want to treat, try to apply pulses around it, because the light energy will be absorbed by the pigment of the mole. Using the device directly on moles or freckles can cause discomfort or even burns. "One of the most established technologies for the long-term removal of unwanted hair is that with intense pulsed light. Compared to other epilation methods, epilation with Philips Lumea IPL saves us precious time spent in beauty salons, saves us from the frustrations caused by wax too hot or from the irritations caused by the razor, it can treat and prevent post-epilation folliculitis and gives us a long-term comfort. It is a painless procedure, which, when performed correctly, removes unwanted hair and inhibits its growth by applying of warm light pulses. The IPL light is attracted to the melanin in the hair, causing it to be destroyed. The darker the hair color, the more effective the hair removal will be. During the treatment, plucking is prohibited hairs, but it is allowed to use a razor blade or depilatory creams, if necessary. The procedure is performed on clean skin (washed and dried). It is also necessary for the hairs to be shaved approximately 12-24 hours before the procedure, depending on the rate of growth, so that they are very little visible on the surface of the skin. If there are moles on the treated area, it is important that they are covered using a white dermatograph pencil, to protect them. While using the device, you will not need gels or protective glasses. For safety and efficiency, I recommend that you follow the instructions for use that accompany the Philips Lumea IPL device, before starting the procedure. Used regularly and following the treatment schedule, results will be seen after the first 3-4 sessions. If you are faced with certain skin conditions or have concerns regarding epilation with intense pulsed light/IPL, we recommend you consult a dermatologist."
