According to our light-based hair removal device expert
With the Philips Lumea IPL 8000 Series BRI947/00 + Philips BRL146/00 ladyshave, you can shave your skin smooth before starting your IPL treatment.
IPL device
With the IPL device, you can safely and easily remove hairs on your whole body. The app gives you tips, advice, and sets up a personal treatment schedule for you. That way, you can enjoy a smooth result for up to 18 months. Thanks to the built-in skin sensor, you always use the right light intensity and prevent skin damage. You receive 4 attachments, which are all suited to a part of your body.
Ladyshave
With the ladyshave, you can shave all places you want to treat with the IPL device. You get an exfoliating glove with the ladyshave, which you can prevent ingrown hair with. You can accurately keep up with your bikini line with the trimmer attachment. You receive a skin contact attachment that pulls your skin taut when you shave. That way, you ensure less skin irritations during and after your shave. The ladyshave is waterproof, so you can also use it in the shower.
Note: light-based hair removal works based on the contrast between your hair and skin tone. As a result, most devices don't work on dark brown or dark skin tones and are unsuitable for removing gray, white, or red hair.
Note: an IPL device is unsuitable if you're pregnant, take certain medications, or have freckles. Before use, read the manual to check if this product is suitable for you.

The Philips Lumea IPL 8000 Series BRI945/00 is a good choice for anyone looking for effective and user-friendly IPL hair removal. Compared to the more expensive Philips Lumea IPL 9000, this model is slightly easier on your wallet, but it has some limitations. The biggest disadvantage is the lack of a rechargeable battery, which means you always have to have a socket nearby during use.
Apart from this disadvantage, the Lumea 8000 Series is very user-friendly. The companion app adds a convenient dimension to the hair removal process by helping you track sessions and send notifications when it's time for a new treatment. This makes it easy to stay consistent and get the best results.
In short, the Philips Lumea IPL 8000 Series BRI945/00 offers an alternative to effective IPL hair removal, but the inconvenience of constantly having to be plugged in to an electrical outlet may be a barrier for some. If that's not a problem for you, this is a good choice for home use.

Unfortunately, I am one of the women who has unwanted hair growth in combination with PCOS. The price of the device is high and because I don't know whether the Lumea has an effect on me, I didn't dare to buy it. When I got the chance to test this product, I immediately took it. After unpacking and reading the instructions, I started the treatment 2 weeks ago. You can keep track of these treatments in the accompanying app. You set the start date of your first treatment and you will automatically be notified when it is time for your next treatment (2 weeks later). The Lumea has 5 intensity buttons. You can use this at your own discretion, but there is also a special button that scans your hair/home and then sets the correct intensity for you. The treatment is simple: place the Lumea against the skin, wait until the light on the back lights up and press the button to give a flash. This way you carefully go over the entire area to be treated. Obviously it is not as fast as shaving and requires a bit more precision. But it is painless.
I have now done 2 treatments but I cannot yet say that I am seeing results yet. But this is not surprising because it can take a while before you actually see results. This depends per person.
If you are looking for a quick way to remove hair, I would say: look further.

I am really very surprised about the effectiveness. Long doubted but should have done it years ago.
