IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. Philips Lumea applies gentle pulses of light to the hair root, putting the follicle into a resting phase. As a consequence, the amount of hair your body grows gradually decreases. Repeating the treatment leaves your skin beautifully hair free and touchably smooth. Treatment to prevent hair regrowth is safe and gentle, even on sensitive areas. Philips Lumea is clinically tested and developed with dermatologists for easy and effective treatment, from the comfort of your own home.
Objective studies show up to 92% hair reduction in as little as 3 treatments**. The first 4 treatments must be carried out every 2 weeks, after which you should already be able to see the desired results. To maintain your results, simply touch up every 4 weeks. After just 8 touch-up treatments you can be hair-free for 6 months* To enlarge this picture, please click on the image in the image gallery at the top of this page.
Philips Lumea Prestige works effectively, easily and safely on a wide variety of hair and skin types. It works on naturally dark blonde, brown and black hair and on skin tones from very white to dark brown. As with other IPL-based treatments, Philips Lumea cannot be used to treat white/grey, light blonde or red hair and is not suitable for very dark skin. This is due to the high contrast required between the pigment in the hair colour and the pigment in the skin tone.
Philips Lumea Prestige can be used both cordless and corded. For big areas like legs, we recommend using the device corded for a faster treatment without interruption. When treating smaller or hard to reach areas like the face, underarms or bikini area, use the device cordless so you can enjoy full freedom of movement.
Your hair and your curves vary across your body, so each area needs treating in a different way to ensure the best results. Philips Lumea Prestige has uniquely curved intelligent attachments for the body (legs, arms, stomach) and face (upper lip, chin). Each intelligent attachment differs by combinations of shape, window size and filter, and triggers a tailored treatment programme for specific body part when added to the device. This mix of considered design and bespoke treatment enables effective and safe treatment even on delicate or sensitive areas.
The specially curved attachment is designed to treat hard-to-reach underarm hair, with a window size of 3 cm2. When the intelligent attachment is added to the device it triggers a tailored underarm treatment. 86% of women satisfied with hair reduction on underarms***.

The body attachment has our largest treatment window (4.1 cm2) so it's perfect for a fast treatment on large body areas like legs, arms and stomach.
