    Hair is finer and sparser

    I love my Philips Lumea Comfort IPL. Since I’ve been using it, my hairs have been growing back finer and sparser. I’ve completed six sessions in total with the last two being four to five weeks apart. The Philips Lumea Comfort IPL is easy to do and doesn’t really take much time at all.

    Love it! Very happy with results

    Treatment number six complete and I’m more than impressed….
    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!

    Well worth the money!

    I must say that after 3 months of use I am pretty impressed with the Philips Lumea. My legs are not hair free, but I am finding that there is considerably less regrowth since I have been using it. I love the compact, convenient size of the unit, & most of all – I love that I can use it in the comfort of my own home at a time that suits me! I would definitely recommend the Lumea to anyone who wants to invest in an IPL :)

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

    Soooo I have been using the Lumea Comfort IPL on my chin and my lower legs now for about a month and a half. My lower legs have definite bald patches which is so exciting I can’t even begin to tell you. Unbelievable. Soooo sooo happy. Results on my chin are different. The hair doesn’t seem to growing back any slower (as I’d previously thought) and I definitely can’t see any change regarding less hair. I’m not going to give up though. I’m thinking that because the hairs on my legs are softer, they’ll respond more quickly than the stubborn coarser hair on my chin…god that’s so embarrassing! Shhhh don’t tell anyone!

    So far so good!!

    I have used the Lumea twice now on both my bikini area and my legs. The directions are very easy to follow and although I was a little nervous at first it is very easy!!
    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!!

    Initial Impressions

    I was very excited to receive my Philips Lumea Comfort in the mail today and couldn’t wait to get started! The instructions are easy to understand and simple to follow. I have just done a test patch on my leg with no problems. Painless and effortless!

    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.

    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.

    Hair Today! Gone tomorrow! The Lumia is brilliant!

    So treatment number five all done and getting quicker at it, with each new turn.
    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!

    Final verdict: Happy with results but takes a lot of patience!

    I just finished a treatment and will share my final thoughts.
    – 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.

    Update...

    The results are pretty much the same as the last post. The hair is taking longer to grow back and is sparser but I still need to shave before each treatment Nd there’s a few pesky facial hairs that are hard to get rid of!! Other than that though I’m happy with the overall results. It’s a very gradual process to get rid of most of the hair and it’s a lot cheaper, less time consuming and less painful than waxing so this will be my go to hair removal solution and will keep persevering.

    Slowly but surely.....

    I had my sixth treatment today and it’s really starting to work. The facial hair is all but gone, my arms are starting to get bald patches and the hair is growing back finer with each treatment and taking longer to grow back as well. I still have to shave before every treatment though but it’s getting there and I’m happy with the results.

    Starting to see results!

    I’m up to my fifth treatment and I’m really starting to see the results. The facial hair has all but disappeared besides a few stubborn hairs. My arms are starting to get patches where the hair isn’t growing and the hair that is growing is very sparse and growing back finer. The underarms are taking longer for the hair to grow back. It’s very reassuring to see that it’s starting to work! The actual treatment was a little uncomfortable this time around but I put it on the highest intensity. That’s fine though because it’s much less painful than waxing by far. Also the light is extremely intense and a little blinding so I try not to look while using the unit which makes it a little difficult. I still have to shave as well.
    It takes patience but the treatment is working! Once the hair disappears, this will be the most cost effective and successful hair removal treatment ever!

    Third treatment update!

    It’s been a week since my third treatment and I’ve definitely noticed a difference in the regrowth of hair on my arms. The growth has slowed down and the hair is less coarse. The same with my underarms. The facial hair too seems to be disappearing except for a few stubborn hairs but even these don’t seem to be as coarse. It does take a while to see the results but I’m starting to notice the difference now and if it means there will be little or no regrowth in future it will definitely be worth it. But patience is required. There’s still no skin irritation or redness afterwards and no pain whilst using the unit, just heat and the occasional flicking feeling, which I’m so happy with, much better to put up with than waxing! Overall the results so far are positive.

    2nd treatment update

    I did my second treatment about a week ago and have been observing hair regrowth since. In addition to my lip, underarms and arms I started treating my bikini line and chin as well. The hair regrowth has slowed down a bit and takes longer to grow back, especially on my arms in comparison to shaving alone although faster than waxing. I used a higher intensity this time around and still pain free, although it was a little uncomfortable on my bikini line but the sensation was like a rubber band snapping a little harder against the skin so it was still bearable, so much more painless than waxing! There were no side effects on the skin after the treatment, the skin was a little dry and itchy but that could be due to shaving and no redness which is fantastic! I’m a little uncomfortable with shaving the areas that are being treated because im so used to waxing so the regrowth is a lot less coarse than this treatment, but will persevere. I can’t wait until I don’t have to shave anymore! It will be interesting to keep seeing the results and see if it’s effective, although it does take patience initially. The actual unit is so quick, easy and painless to use. Stay tuned….

    Surprisingly pain free!

    I’ve only used the product once so far on my face, arms and underarms. It’s early days yet so there’s not much indication of how it will reduce hair growth. I was worried it was going to hurt but it is really pain free. The most I have felt is a gentle flick like a rubber band lightly snapping against the skin but I will keep experimenting with different levels and areas. It’s also very lightweight and easy to manoeuvre and is good for treating small areas. I think it does take a little longer for the hair to grow back using the shave/ipl technique than just straight shaving although it grows faster than waxing. I will be looking forward to not having to shave before the treatment as it’s a little time consuming but am counting on the fact that it’s only temporary. All good so far, will see how it goes…. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to trial!
