According to our light-based hair removal device expert
The Philips Lumea IPL 8000 Series BRI946/00 makes it easy to remove hair from hard-to-reach areas. This is because you get a precision attachment with it. You can use it to remove hair from your armpits and bikini line, for example. A body and face attachment is also included. The device is safe to use and is also suitable for dark brown skin. The skin sensor measures your skin during hair removal and recommends the right light intensity for your skin tone. As a result, you always remove hair comfortably. With this IPL device, you provide a long-lasting smooth result for about 18 months. You already see the results after 3 treatments. The light-based hair removal device has 450,000 flashes, which gives it a long lifespan of more than 20 years. The accompanying app guides you during hair removal and creates a personalized treatment plan.
Note: light-based hair removal works based on the contrast between your hair and skin tone. Because of this, most devices doesn't work on darker 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.

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.

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.

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