Hair is finer and sparser
1:59 am
Love it! Very happy with results
Since the the first treatment there is noticeably much less hair and what is there seems to be growing back very slowly and very finely...
I have recommended the Lumia to a number of friends and will continue to do so...
I am really impressed with the results and will continue to use it for maintenance until hopefully no hair remains at all!
10:42 pm
Well worth the money!

Step by step...slowly but surely...

So far so good!!
Both legs and bikini area were done in under half an hour.
I agree with others about the brightness of the light but obviously that is need to make the Lumea work.
I'm waiting eagerly to see some results!!

Mixed results, but very happy
My underarms haven't changed a lot. the hair is softer and maybe a little less, but no major change. My legs are still patchy, but I no longer have to shave every 2-3 days, now I can definitely last a week or so between shaves and when I do I have a LOT less hair to remove, so shaving only takes a few seconds.
My bikini is great, with almost all of the hair gone! YAY. This was the worst place to treat in the beginning as you have to shave before the IPL, and then for days after I had awful itchy regrowth, but that subsided after about the 3rd or 4th treatment, with the regrowth being very fine and now almost non existent.
Overall very happy with this product, it hasn't worked perfectly, but it will make a huge difference to the amount of time I spend removing hair in the future.

going great guns!
Legs are patchy and when they do grow I can leave it a week or two and although there are some longer hairs over 50% aren't growing so I don't look hairy scary!
Still hasn't worked at all on my knees.
11:01 pm
Hair Today! Gone tomorrow! The Lumia is brilliant!
Definitely seeing the results now with leg hair becoming quite patchy and definitely finer where it's still growing - Exfoliating is definitely the key at this stage to make sure the finer hairs don't become in grown...
Underarms and bikini line are both looking pretty good with less hair than there was originally..
Still loving the Lumea and would recommend it to all!

Sixth treatment, and sadly still hairy
I was really hoping that the Lumea would reduce the amount of time I spend removing hair each day, but unfortunately I still shave my legs and underarms each day, and my bikini line was nowhere near bikini-ready.
I'll try again next winter, and give it a few more sessions, but for now, I'm heading outside for some lovely spring weather.

Final verdict: Happy with results but takes a lot of patience!
- the hair has reduced but still not hair free, especially on my arms. The hair is patchy so it looks like it worked in some areas but not others as I have missed those areas. I have just tried the slide and flash mode to see if this will make a difference. But the hair has grown back softer and I only shave them once a fortnight before treatment and have just pushed it to 3 weeks without much regrowth.
- the unit is very easy to use and I find it is most effective in smaller areas, especially on the face, underarms and bikini.
- the light is a bit on the bright side and feel like a pair of glasses to cut the glare and for piece of mind included with the unit would be a good idea. Especially since it's hard to do the treatment sometimes without looking at what you're doing.
- I find that this is the most pain free and cost effective way of removing unwanted hair. Much cheaper and more comfortable than waxing.
- the treatment requires a lot of patience before the results start to be seen so persistence is key.
I will definitely continue to use this appliance and will be my go to method of hair removal now eliminating the need to travel to a salon (which is difficult with a toddler and not much "me time") and saving a lot of money. (a one off payment of a few hundred $ as opposed to 35 a month and a chance of permanent hair removal?) Thank you so so much for the opportunity to review this.
I've added a before treatment and after 3 months of treatment photo.

5th (or 6th) treatment - pretty happy!
I was SO hairy and had regrowth within a day or two after shaving.
Now, I can go 2 weeks and the regrowth is just starting to get noticeable.
My bikini line and underarms unfortunately haven't changed much. But I'm still trying.
I tend to put off doing it as it takes a while and the fan is noisy. Too noisy to do whilst watching TV for instance. It probably takes me about 30-40 minutes to both legs thoroughly.

Update...
8:51 pm
Fifth treatment - waiting for results
I've not noticed any reduction on my underarms or legs either - there are no bare patches on my legs yet. Given that it takes around 90 mins to do my legs, bikini line and underarms, it takes quite a lot of time and it is hard to keep up the schedule when I haven't seen any results yet.
I'm hoping to see some improvement after tonight's treatment, my fingers are crossed!
