I've had the Lumea for about 6 weeks and over 2-3 treatments i've seen the same results as professional IPL. No pain, treated hairs fall out after a week. Fabulous!
Purchased in July 2020 at Shaver Shop for $499.

I have been using the Lumea (with the app) for a few months now on my legs, I am quite surprised & happy with this product. Was very skeptical when I received this gift & honestly was not expecting it to work at all, but after the first treatment, I noticed the hairs on my legs took longer to grow back & were also not at course as usual. I have fair to medium skin tone with dark hairs. I will be honest, there was a few weeks when I thought that the Lumea wasn’t doing what it says, but then I noticed that it had been 4 weeks since I last shaved ...
Read moremy legs!! It really does work!! I am happy only having to shave once a month, the growth of the hairs has slowed down dramatically & my legs stay smoother for longer. I was a bit worried what kind of sensation the Lumea would give, but it is overall a generally mild sensation. It did take me a few goes to get completely used to it & I would expect it will take some people a bit longer to get used to the sensation than others. To me it is like a getting quickly flicked with a rubber band followed by a warm sensation. Definitely start off on setting 1 or 2 & go from there. Does take considerably longer to treat than the recommended time from Philips. I also find if the Lumea stays on for too long it does seems to overheat, so I will do one leg or the bottom-half of both legs, turn it off & let it cool down for 30 mins or so then continue with the rest. Would recommend to try to stick to the schedule for optimal results. I have just finished my 7th treatment on my legs & I can happily say that it does work for mePurchased in August 2022.

I have been using this IPL machine on my underarms, arms, and legs for about 6 months following the phone app sessions. As someone who had to shave every other day, this IPL has been a complete gamechanger. I now have to shave once every 2-3 weeks, and even then the hair is sparse.
As it is an IPL, it does take around 3 sessions to notice significant difference. However after the first session I did notice that hair growth rate had decreased (i.e. could shave every 3rd day!).
I have also been using this on my SO's neck with the facial attachm...
Read moreent to get rid of unwanted beard areas. So far there has been a reduction of hair growth there too. Some cons: - For bendy, bony areas such as knees and ankles you have to hold the device a bit awkwardly and your hand can cramp. - Need to remember where you have covered or else you could end up with weird strips/patches of hair here and there. - Expect to take double the estimated times that Philips says to IPL until you get used to it. For reference my skin colour is light and hair is black. I've been using the device with the phone application.Purchased in April 2022 at Shaver Shop for $399.

So glad I bought this, I read a lot of reviews on it but still wasn't convinced. I've had it for a few months now and it was advised to use once every fortnight but I've used it once a week. Really happy with the results though, after the first 3-4 uses I noticed the hair started getting thinner and slower growing and now I only have to shave once a week (right before I do the treatment) instead of daily!

I bought this device knowing in the back of my head there was a cash back return policy as I was dubious it would work having seen reviews of other similar at home products. I have had laser done years ago and 6 sessions didn’t remove much of my hair because I am quite fair, but I thought by buying my own IPL I could at least do it more regularly and so might get an OK result eventually. I’m 4 sessions in, I have pale skin and dark blonde/light brown hair (so not ‘ideal’ at all for laser) and my underarm hair hasn’t grown back since the last se...
Read moression two weeks ago, and I’m seeing a reduction (but not yet close to full removal) of my bikini line hair but I imagine in 3 or 4 more treatments it may all be gone. I also did my husbands shoulder/neck hair (black hair on pale skin) and it is basically gone after only 2 sessions with only a few stray hairs left. There’s no doubt it’s not as strong as commercial lasers, but if your hair is the right colour then this is way more convenient than attending a salon. The $100 cash back was also a great deal and I had it in my account two weeks later. All in all I’m pretty happy with the result and think it’s a worthy purchase for the price.Purchased in April 2022 at Shaver Shop Online store for $399.
Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Lumea - we're delighted that you're seeing results already, and we're sure you'll be happy at the end of the treatment as well. Best of luck!...
Read more Kind Regards, The Philips Australia TeamI bought this product more than one month ago, as part of Philips Mother's Day AU$100 Cash Back promotion. I am still trying the product, with nothing to complaint so far (I still have to test for few weeks more to give a good review). My discontentment is with the poor customer service they provided me in regards to the promotion (which was the reason that lead me to buy the product in first place). I never received the promised Cash Back from Philips. Last contact was 12/05/19, when they said that the cash back was approved, and that I should...

I purchased this model three months ago and have had no trouble with its operability. After relatively lengthy use at level 5 it can overheat and need a couple of minutes to cool off, but otherwise it has worked faultlessly. The cord length is generous and the machine design makes it comfortable to hold. After three treatments I was pleasantly surprised to discover a noticeable reduction in hair growth. I've found that for best results I've needed to apply treatments over more weeks than the instructions imply, but am very happy to have achieved smooth almost hair free skin, painlessly. Great investment considering the ongoing cost of waxing or shaving.

After a heap of research I chose this IPL machine because
a) it has 5-10 years worth of flashes and no replacement cartridges necessary
b) It has both a large and small window, for large areas like legs and small/bumpy areas like upper lip/ underarms/ knees (as it needs to press fully on the skin to work this small window is necessary for these areas)
c) it has a continuous mode, hold the button down for a flash and slide it to the next spot (wait 1-2 seconds for flash to charge) and flashes automatically again
d) it was top of its field (I...

The manual says that the scattered light from the device is safe, yet it contradicts this by saying that it is strongly advised not to look directly at the light. If the light is safe, why can't you look at it?
I ask because I used it on my underarms, and when I held down the button nothing was happening so I mindlessly turned my head in that direction wondering if I'd placed it correctly and the flash suddenly went off. It didn't cause my eyes any discomfort, and I wasn't looking directly at it but my gaze was very close to it and my underarms are obviously very close to my head. I was wearing dark glasses at the time but the light was visible in the gap between the glasses and my cheek. It's very hard not to slip up and look at the light, I imagine most people would accidentally look at it once or twice.

Sounds quite dodgy that this question can't be answered in writing. Pretty simple question. If it's safe, why can't you look at it. I'm suspicions you don't want to answer it because you don't want proof on the internet as to what your response was.
Very mild physics knowledge here, but as I understand it, the scattered light, as in the light that escapes around the device and your skin should be safe, but it wouldn't be recommended/safe to flash the main beam of light when it is pointed at your face and not in contact with skin. Like looking at the sun directly vs looking up at the clouds in the sky and noticing 'bright' sunlight.
Hi, I was trying to use my Lumea IPL today. It turned on and everything but it wouldnt flash when i pressed the button. It is quite new. I have only used it for a few months. Why isnt it working and what do i have to do to fix it?
