Good, but caused hives
I’ve been using the Philips Lumea Bri956 according to the instructions, and the first 2 times went very well. The third time, which was this Sunday, I developed a bad hives case the next day, which is still persisting.
I contacted the customer support team and they told me to contact the local retailer and to stop using the device. The retailer is just a seller, he is not going to solve my urticaria or show me similar testimonies and also this is an expensive product to stop using it just after the third time.
I just wanted to know if problem...Read more

Below average product and pathetic customer service
I followed all the instruction for the products but was left with burn marks all over my hands and leg after first use.I contacted customer service but did not get any assistance rather than waiting for months with burn marks to get a response that did not make any difference to what i went through. Never ever going to buy any product or recommend Philips solely due to pathetic customer service.

Significant reduction in hair growth
I have used the Phillips IPL Prestige on my legs and on my arms. I made sure I have completed the recommended four sessions with two weeks gap in between the sessions. I must say my hair growth has reduced almost by 80% after the first four sessions. I have been irregular in the last 3-4 months. However, I am impressed to see that the hair hasn’t grown back much. I’m very happy with the purchase. This can be used plugged in or without connecting to the power source. Noticed that it’s quicker to use when plugged in.

Absolutely love it!
This model came with 3 extra heads and can be used corded or with battery power.
I waited until this model because my previous expensive laser (!) device from the US stopped working when the rechargeable battery became worn out.
Being able to use this IPL device while connected makes it also faster than using it with battery power. I use the glide method to cover larger areas while plugged in. Faster and no need to constantly press the button to fire.
While the laser had only a tiny head, this model can cover legs so much faster!

This is perfect, can't live without it
Loved using this product! The attachments are great to help hair loss across different parts of the body. The Lumea Prestige detects your skin tone and works its magic! So quick and easy to use.

Questions & Answers
Annieasked
Hi there. Just bought the Lumea prestige BRI956 a few days back and did my first treatment today
I wanted to ask why some areas on almost all parts of my body that I treated hurt extremely bad (i.e; legs,arms,bikini,underarms and stomach) Some areas on all these parts hurt too bad I was almost about to scream. I’ve read a lot about this device that’s why I decided to buy it and I don’t wanna leave a bad review based on one bad treatment so I thought I’ll consult one of you guys first and get professional advice.
So basically some areas got red, hurt very bad it was a prettYYYY y severe prick.
Lastly, another problem that I had which really bothered me is that the ready light on the decide turned orange on almost all of my bikini area even though I’ve read which areas in the bikini I can safely use it on and I made sure to target the head onto those but the light was orange and I just couldn’t use it on my bikini. The main purpose why I got this device was cuz it Callum’s to do bikini area (most parts of it) but it’s just not working on the area.
Please I’m actually stressed and upset as it was a big investment I made but I absolutely loved the device and what it claims to do so I hope you could help me get a positive experience next time.
Waiting for your response :)

Hi, I had a LUMEA FOR MEN. Wondering if i can use it to get rid of facial hair at chin & lips area? Or is it possible to buy the facial attachment accessories somewhere?

Philips S.Philips
Hi Toy, unfortunately, it is not possible to use Lumea for Men to remove facial fair, due to the difference in its structure and coarseness. There also isn't an attachment at the moment which could be used for facial hair. We hope this answers your question. If there is anything we can do for you, please feel free to reach out to our product team directly on 1300 363 391 (Australia), or 0800 658 224 (New Zealand) from Mondays to Saturdays: 7:00 am - 7:00 pm EST. They'll be happy to help.

Farah M.asked
I am on my 5th use of the machine, everything was going good until my last session. I Just started with my legs this is the first session, and when i was cleaning afterward I realised the inner glass winndow on the machine itself is suddenly all chipped up. I have followed all the instructions and did nothing differently, They are not cracks there are little holes all over it. Ive only had it for a year and 3 months so my warranty is still valid, but im worried about how long it will take or if they will fix it during this time in quarantine. Have there been similar cases and how long does it need to me fixed?
