According to our light-based hair removal device expert
Be sure of a long-lasting smooth result with the Philips Lumea Prestige BRI954/00. The light flashes relax the hair follicles and prevent new hair growth. During the treatment, the skin sensor measures your skin tone and adjusts the light intensity accordingly. This prevents your skin from getting irritated or burned. A full body treatment takes around 20 minutes. The smooth result is visible after approximately 5 treatments. The IPL device includes different light windows. This means you can also use it on your face or bikini line. After use, the light-based hair removal device and the light windows can easily be stored in the included storage pouch.
Note: light-based hair removal works based on the contrast between your hair and skin tone. This means most devices don't work on black skin and the devices aren't suitable to remove gray, white, or red hair.

I've been using the Philips Lumea Prestige (BRI954) for 2-3 months now, which means I've had 4 sessions already (flash every 2 weeks). I am incredibly pleased with the results. I treated my legs, full bikini, arms and armpits.
The main reason I wanted to try it was my problem with ingrown hairs, so I could never shave my bikini line more than once a week because otherwise I would go crazy with the itching and pain of ingrown hairs. Now I don't have to worry about this anymore since I only have to shave my bikini line once every 2 weeks, and even then it's just to remove a few stubble. I haven't shaved my legs since the last flash (3 weeks ago) and they still feel smooth. Where I used to have to shave my armpits every other day, I now almost forget because it is only needed every other week.
Also super handy that you can keep track of when you have flashed via the Philips app, which gives you a reminder when it is needed again. I really recommend this product to everyone and I only regret not buying it sooner! It is expensive to purchase for a while, but rather this than to spend at least 1000 euros on so-called permanent hair removal in a salon, where over time your hair will grow back (yes I speak from experience!).
Don't hesitate like I did, if your hair and skin tone are a match with device then it is guaranteed to be the best purchase you can make! In the meantime, I even just flash my legs while I'm watching TV, as it's completely painless. Sometimes you just feel some heat, but certainly not unpleasant or burning.
One last advantage (as you can read I'm very enthusiastic) I think you can just keep shaving between turns. I found this so annoying about waxing and epilation, for example, you are then depilated but then you just have to let everything grow back for at least 1/2 weeks?! And shaving in between is not allowed because then the whole effect of softer hairs is gone... No thanks.
Philips Lumea, you have my heart!

Just one word: incredible! Being a lady with heavy and dark hair growth, I hated 'skirt day', spontaneously going to the beach or trying on clothes unexpectedly. Always that hair. Tried everything from a young age. In the time when laser treatment was still unaffordable and the blisters were on my skin (as a 15-year-old) I waxed, waxed, plucked, shaved daily, etc etc. The outcome should have been JustWelness: bought a package for my entire body, but unfortunately like thousands of others, I was left duped and with no results whatsoever.
If only I had known better...I would have bought this device as soon as it hit the market. I was very skeptical in the beginning because 'this probably won't work either' But nevertheless I started in good spirits. Install the app, take your time and go! Because I treat a lot of places on my body I really have to take the time but that is worth EVERYTHING to me. After 2 flashes I already saw a difference and I'm just confused that I don't have to keep track of my legs and armpits every day. How?!
I have now had 5 treatments and in most places my hair growth is nothing. Some spots are a bit more stubborn but what grows there is much less, much softer and it takes much longer. I haven't shaved my legs for almost four weeks now and they are so incredibly soft.
To all the ladies with this unprecedented and nasty problem; Go for it! It's worth every penny. Be guided by the app, take your time and treat the most sensitive areas first (after a while the device can get warm, keep this in mind)
I can't wait for the first skirt day of this year!

When I unpacked the Lumea, I was immediately pleasantly surprised. It has a nice design, and it feels luxurious. It comes with a special storage pouch that has room for the Lumea, the charger, and the separate attachments. When charging, a battery light will flash slowly and will stay lit once the Lumea is fully charged, which is very handy. It is a pity that there is no holder, so you have to put it on a table / the floor when charging.
The device is very easy to use. Before using it for the first time, place it on the skin in the area you want to treat. A light will then turn on at the position that is most suitable for your skin. My experience is that this is really the right position. When you put it on your skin, a light on the back of the device will illuminate, indicating that it is being used properly. Personally, I did not find the flash that the device emits annoying, but it is advisable to use the device in a well-lit room.
What I also find very useful is that you can download the Lumea app, in which you can keep track of the treatments. You will automatically receive a notification when it is time for the next treatment.
I notice after 3 treatments that the hair growth is clearly less, it has not completely disappeared, but there is a clear difference. I am very satisfied with the results so far
