(However, Philips do state that it is not suitable for male facial hair) Just ignore all the female branding, I can accept that given how much masculine branding women probably have to put up with on products they use. :)I have used it on basically everything except my forearms & face. I did the initial 4 treatments on each area over 8 weeks and I now have about 80% hair growth stoppage in the treated areas after just that. Of the hair that does grow back, it is patchy and thin and grows much slower. There is also near zero chance of getting ingrowing hairs or razer bumps after shaving. No more ugly red patches or blemishes, just nice smooth skin.It is very tedious to do a treatment as shaving everything and IPL can take almost 2.5 hours, so I don't do it as often as recommended, but I'm happy with the reduction I have so far. The slower growth, decreased density and zero shaving blemishes was my primary goal.My only criticism is that it is quite top heavy and bulky, I understand why but it can be quite combersome to mavouver it around and can be tiring after 40 minutes of zapping.It says you don't need laser glasses, but i'm going to try some as I find the flashes to be uncomfortable towards the end of the session.Would recommend if you are serious about hair removal, forget messy painful creams... This is the way. Definitely worth the money in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars great value for money and an excellent supplementary tool for hair removal.

For anyone that has concerns about the light technology: it works. This particular 2nd hand one was a bit scratched but has not affected performance. Great value for money in my books. Very easy to use, just use the hold down trigger mode to do larger areas e.g. legs. Its a bit warm for people with lighter skin in sensitive areas but nothing you cant handle.

I am using the 5th time once in the 3-4 weeks. I can see on my legs a part of hair is gone like 30%. Underarm 40% hair gone. Intimate zone 15-20% gone. My body hair is really strong. I thing for everyone will work different.

Have been using this for laser for a while. Worked well. The trick is to stick to it and make time for it. As I have been using it for my whole body it's takes a good couple of hours to complete.

Gosh this is a life saver for me. I'm a Latina with very dark, thick and noticeable body hair, which can be found on awkward places as well as the normal ones (e.g. snail trail, back, cheeks, even very thin hairs on my chest). Since I started using this my hair just doesn't grow anymore in the spots I go over. After 3-4 treatments, there are parts of my legs, arms, and other areas I've treated that just don't grow hair anymore, which is amazing. In a few more treatments I know it will all go. When it does grow in between treatments, it grows slower and in patches because there's so much of it that's gone already. Be careful though, this type of hair removal product works best on dark haired, light skinned people, because it uses the contrast between the hair and the skin to operate! So if you're light blond and fair skinned, or dark haired and dark skinned, this might not be the best option for you unfortunately, but check the description and see for yourself whether it will work on your before you buy!

Researched for a while which laser hair removal would be best for me, and recommendations for this one came up many times, so bought on here.I’ve used an epilator for decades, and whilst it reduces hair growth over time, it never fully stops it. I’m on my third session with the Lumea and have noticed a difference already but know it’ll take more time.It’s so easy to use, felt a bit cumbersome at first but got the hang of it and it already now feels comfy to use. Does it hurt? Mmmmm depends where you do it 😉 Generally no it doesn’t at all, but then I am used to an epilator (which doesn’t hurt now), but this is absolutely fine for me.Recommend this 100%. So glad I invested in one.

I am using the product for around 2 months now. I was very hairy and willing to find an alternative solution to wax because my skin is sensitive and can be easily damagef. Instead every two weeks as recommended I started usingit once a week for the first 6 weeks just because I still had hair growing back and needed to shave. I started seeing some results after 3 weeks, less and thinner hair. On week 5 the situation improved a lot and on week 6 I shaved, used it and went on holiday for two weeks without bringing it with me. I came back two days ago and I was impressed in noticing that I didn't need to shave at all. Some spots like public area and harmpits are more stubborn but probably because I set the intensity at 3 instead of 5 because I feel it uncomfortable otherwise. I will keep using it and I cannot stop recommending it to everyone I know. I am in love and I wish I trusted it before.

Good as it is
