  Mixed results, but very happy

  Well I have just completed my 6th session- which the manual says is the requirement of fortnightly treatments and then to use less often after that.
  
  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.

  Would you recommend the Philips Lumea Comfort to others?
  The Philips Lumea Comfort is painless to use, even on sensitive areas.
  The Philips Lumea Comfort is better lifetime value than salon treatments
  The Philips Lumea Comfort is simple and easy to use, in the comfort of home

  going great guns!

  5th use all done (and almost time for my 6th use) and my bikini line is hairless apart from a few stragglers on the edge (maybe I've missed them and that's why they are growing). Underarms don't seem to be doing well. Hair is a little finer, but still plenty of hair and having to shave every 2-3 days so no major change.
  
  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.

  Great results

  So it's been over a week since my 4th treatment and I am really seening a big change now. There are bald patches on my legs, but other patches are growing still although slower than normal. It hasn't worked at all on my knees, and limited success on my underarms (hair is slower growing,but still dark and doesn't seem like any less hairs as such). Bikini is doing great with most hairs gone, or very, very slow growing.

  Seeing some hair reduction!

  This is my third use now and I am definitely seeing some change in the hair growth. A portion of the hairs seem to have stopped growing (I can see the normal hairs growing and then every 4th hair or so is just a black dot in the skin that isn't growing out). I'm guessing these are the hairs that will "shed" on their own as time goes on. As a result my legs feel smoother with less hair regrowing overall.
  
  Still a pain to get out an extension cord when I want to sit on the lounge and do my legs, but the bikini and underarms are quick and easy to do in the bathroom.

  Second time...

  I've now used the Lumea a second time and certainly have the technique all sorted. I can't say I have noticed any reduction in hair yet, but it felt like the regrowth was possibly softer. i've had to shave several times between treatments, so it will be interesting to see if that shaving frequency lessens after more treatments.
  
  It really is a simple product to use, and hopefully it's doing it's job and soon I can shave less!

  Light, comfortable and easy

  I was SO excited to find out I had been accepted for this trial. Laser hair removal is something I have talked about doing for years, but it has always been too expensive, and just impossible to take time to do with my busy schedule and small children. The in home IPL with Lumia just seems the perfect solution!
  
  I received the Lumia early last week and wanted to use it straight away, but was surprised that it didn't have a battery function, so had to leave it until the weekend and the kids were in bed so that I could roll out an extension lead and sit on the couch while I did my legs.
  
  A friend has a different model of the Lumia which has a battery and you charge it up and she swears by sitting in front of the telly doing it at night, so I was sad that I either had to stand near a plug, or use a lead.
  
  That aside the Lumia itself is surprisingly light and easy to hold and use. The large button meant my finger didn't get sore pressing over and over again.
  
  My underarms and bikini line were really quick and easy and I did those standing in in the bathroom in front of the mirror. I had to shave the bikini (I usually wax) so I hope I don't get that horrible itchy regrowth in that area I have had before if I have had to shave in a hurry.
  
  The legs took a lot longer- the package says 11min per lower leg. It took me just over 25min for both legs, and I am short and very skinny, so bigger ladies should allow a little longer. It was hard to tell exactly where I had previously "hit" as the end of the product is much bigger than the actual IPL window. I managed to get a good little "shift" going along the leg after a while though.
  
  There is a little light that shows when the laser is ready to fire, but I couldn't ever see that side of the Lumia when holding it to do underarms or bikini. Holding the product to do legs it was right way up though and I could easily see the light. It was ready very, very quickly though each time so I wasn't really needing to look and wait for the light.
  
  Twice I accidentally hit the little dial which changes the intensity setting (I used 5 on all areas as recommended for my skin tone and hair colour). So when it was pressed the machine reset back to intensity 1. I am hoping it was only for the single flash when I realised, rather than me having been flashing away for a while before seeing it had changed.
  
  Overall I am really happy with the way the product works, the time taken is really great and apart from needing to roll out a cord to sit comfortably on the lounge I am in love with this product.
  
  Now just to see if it really works! Time will tell......
