  Sixth treatment, and sadly still hairy

  I’ve completed the six recommended treatments, but unfortunately had no significant hair loss – I’m still shaving each day and I actually got out the wax and depilatory machine the other day and did my bikini line as the daily shaving and regrowth was giving me ingrown hairs.
  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.

  Fifth treatment - waiting for results

  I’m feeling a but disappointed, because although I might (not sure) have a few patches of lees growth on my bikini line, I’m still far from hair free. I shave my bikini line pretty much every day as the prickles are really uncomfortable, and the hairs are still dark and thick.
  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!

  Fourth treatment

  I’m starting to see bare patches on my bikini line – very exciting to see progress!

  I’m hoping to see more improvement after the next treatment – so far, there are no bare patches on my legs, but the hair seems to be growing much slower.

  Third treatment - waiting for results!

  Tonight I completed my third treatment – I feel like my hair is softer and/or growing slower, but there are no noticeable bare patches as yet, – I’m hoping after this treatment or the next, I will start to lose hair.
  I notice a little but of a hot hair smell (similar to when you curl your hair with an iron for too long) when zapping darker hairs…. Love the thought of those nasty hairs being obliterated!

  Second treatment

  

  It seems like my bikini line hair is growing slower, and there are patches of bare skin – I’m very excited! So far I’ve noticed a slowing down of hair growth on my legs and underarms but no bare patches.
  I treated both legs, bikini line and underarms tonight – quite a lengthy process to do all at once, so I will continue with my upper lip and arms another night. So far so good, I think the Lumea is going to work!

  First treatment - First impressions

  My first impressions of the Philips Lumea –
  The unit is lightweight, the button is big and easy to press, and the adjustment button is in an out of the way place to prevent accidental adjustments.

  My first treatment –
  I chose to start with my legs, bikini line and underarms.
  I have very pale skin, with medium to dark brown hair on my ankles, knees, bikini line and underarms. The hair on the rest of my legs is dark blonde/light brown.
  After testing a patch, I chose setting 5. There was a tiny elastic band feeling (as other reviewers have noticed) in some places (notably on the backs of my knees – perhaps due to my having some dark veins there?) and a feeling of warmth.
  It was somewhat difficult to accurately gauge whether I had overlapped treatment areas, or left gaps – it would help to have marks on the sides of the hint to show where the window is – I will get a marker and make my own before the next treatment.
  It took me 1 and 3/4 hours to treat my legs (up to my hip) bikini line (just a g-string bikini line – I will do more once I see how the first couple of treatments go – just in case I get uncomfortable side effects!) and underarms. I have rather long legs, so they took me quite some time.
  I’ll be interested to see how the Lumea goes with the lighter hairs on my legs – when I have (shudder!) let my legs go hairy, the hair on my shins has looked brownish, so I am hoping that the hairs will be zapped and gone soon!
  As other reviewers have noted, the red flash when the Lumea is in action is quite bright, and so I tended to avert and close my eyes – once I got into the swing of using it I found I didn’t have to look at my leg to reposition – and the continuous function is great. If anything, I would love a slow and fast continuous function to speed up large areas like the thighs.
  I used a small extension lead so that I could stretch out on the couch and watch tv while I used the Lumea. Definitely worthwhile spending a couple of bucks on a lead.

  I usually shave my legs as underarms, as the hairs tend to snap when waxed, and use either a combination of an epilator and pre-waxed strips on my bikini line at home, or on the odd occasion I have child free time I get a salon wax.
  Once I am confident with the results the Lumea can provide, I will go to Brazil on my bikini line, and zap my ‘tache as well. I use sunscreen every day, so my face is very pale, so I think those icky black hairs will be a thing of the past. My arm hairs are quite sun bleached so I will wait a few weeks for them to darken again before treating them.

  In the name of science, I got my hubby to shave a small patch on his stomach, and he used setting 5 on it – he has had salon IPL before, so it will be interesting to compare the results. He didn’t have any pain from using the Lumea (part of me is a little sad about that!)
