Discover Philips Lumea: the No1 Brand in IPL and enjoy up to 3 months of hair-free skin. Philips Lumea uses an innovative light-based technology called Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to break the cycle of hair regrowth. Gentle pulses of light are applied at the root and, after several treatments, hair is prevented from growing back. Studies show up to 85% hair reduction in just 3 treatments. Treat only every two weeks for the first 6 weeks, then touch up monthly to maintain the results. Derived from salon professional IPL technology, Philips Lumea makes it possible to remove hair safely, effectively and easily from the comfort of your own home. For extra safety the integrated SmartSkin tone sensor measures the treated skin complexion at the beginning of each session and occasionally during the session. If it detects a skin tone that is too dark for this product it will automatically stop emitting pulses. Also includes a Philips Satin Compact Touch-up Facial Trimmer. Model number: BRI923/00. Remove excess hair from the desired area before the first treatment. Select the correct intensity level for your skin tone by using the skin tone sensor. Turn the unit on and press the Lumea to your skin. Wait for the flash light to turn on and press the button. Slowly slide the Lumea across the treatment area. Avoid flashing the same spot.
