Hair removal device with IPL technology Lumea Advanced BRI921/00 by Philips. The Philips Lumea Advanced works wonders in reducing body hair.
The gentle light pulses, when applied at regular intervals, keep your skin silky smooth every day.
Technology
IPL means Intense Pulsed Light.
The Philips Lumea device uses gentle pulses of light at the root of the hair, putting the follicles into a resting phase, resulting in a gradual reduction of hair growth on your body.
With repeated application, your skin will be extremely smooth without hair.
It is a safe and gentle method to prevent the reappearance of hair even in sensitive areas.
The Philips Lumea device is clinically tested and developed by dermatologists for an easier and more effective hair removal method from the comfort of your home.
What it offers:
According to objective studies, with just 3 applications you achieve at least 85%** hair reduction.
The first 4 applications should be done every 2 weeks and after these you should see the desired results.
To maintain the results, simply repeat the application every 4 weeks.
Function:
The Philips Lumea Prestige device works effectively, easily, and safely on a wide variety of hair and skin types.
It offers results on natural dark blonde, brown, and black hair colors and on skin tones ranging from very white to dark brown.
As with other IPL-based hair removal applications, the Philips Lumea device cannot be used on white/gray, light blonde, or red hair and is not suitable for very dark skin tones.
This is due to the high contrast of pigments between the hair color and skin tone.
Built-in skin phototype sensor:
The built-in skin phototype sensor offers safety, as it detects the skin color at the beginning of each session, as well as occasionally during the session.
If it detects a skin phototype that is too dark for this product, it automatically stops the pulse emission.
Large window for quick application:
It features a large window for quick application on large surface areas, such as the legs.
Lumea App:
You can download the Lumea app for free to have a unique and personalized IPL technology experience exclusively for you.
It is your personal assistant that ensures you are fully utilizing the Lumea device and using it correctly for long-lasting results.
The app helps you create a personalized usage schedule for each part of your body with tips throughout each treatment.

You can do it alone whenever you want at home without waiting for an appointment! For large areas like legs, you need to have patience, but for underarms, arms, and bikini, the result is perfect!! It's worth the money, I would buy it again!
It does exactly what it promises! I have done 3 initial applications and the difference is significant! As a person who has done many years of Alexandrite and Diode laser, and has spent a lot of money, I bitterly regret not getting it years ago! When my last dermatologist asked me for €200 for face and body for the few hairs that were left, I thought it was a great price! Until I bought this and made my money back with the first use… I will return in 6 months to tell you the results for my husband whom I started full body!
I wanted to wait to evaluate. I have been using it for a year. I am not a bear, but I used to shave every day and every other day on my legs, like many women. Of course, with the consequences of shaving, i.e., bumps on the legs, bumps in the bikini area, bumps and redness in the armpits. I had never done laser, I didn't want to, I kept postponing it, etc. And today I can say that I have almost forgotten what it means to shave. It takes patience, and of course, you need to know what to expect; it's not that from one day to the next you won't have hair. I was more interested in simply not having to shave every day, especially on vacation, and not getting bumps. I didn't have higher expectations. I am very satisfied so far, and I hope for the future because you marry these things; you will do them for a lifetime. Once a month when I do the treatment, I shave. My skin is soft, the new hairs are softer, finally, my legs are not like grass, and I have confidence with my armpits, which before I had to check before leaving the house what was going on. :-) Tips? Patience, we hit each spot only once, we try to cover all areas (because wherever we don't hit, hairs will grow - and it doesn't matter really, who will see two hairs - we will shave them), we gradually increase the intensity until it doesn't bother us, if we see anything strange on our skin, we stop and inform a dermatologist, we are punctual with our treatments, the manual has everything written down, and you can find a lot on their website, as well as an app that helped me at the beginning, then just a reminder on our phone. I hope I helped.
Very good result from a home-use machine.
The first photo is from September and the second from December. In 3 months we had this result. It's definitely worth it.
The downside is that it is time-consuming.
It was purchased about a month ago, for around 270. I exclusively used it for shaving legs, bikini area, and underarms, as well as waxing hands, belly line, and mustache, so the hair is thick and strong. I started doing sessions every 7-10 days approximately, and now that I'm on the 3rd session, I'm starting to see the first results. There are sporadic small gaps appearing, while on my leg below the knee, although I see some stubble (I have fair skin with dark hair), the hair hasn't grown at all except for a few areas where it has grown normally.
If there is such a result from the 3rd session, I believe that it will be worth the purchase in the future and more. It will show in the next sessions, which I will return to evaluate.
4/5 because it heats up quickly and takes a considerable amount of time to cover a large area.
I have been truly speechless with this laser. I have it for almost 6 months now and the results are incredibly dramatic!! I had very intense hair growth on my face and arms and now I do laser once a month as only 2-3 hairs come out or none at all. Honestly, it solved my problem!! Incredible!!
It heats up excessively fast, resulting in overheating indication and the need to stop the operation. In other words, I manage to only do one leg below the knee with one zap in each spot and it overheats. I am in the first month of use.
HOWEVER after 2-3 months the results are obvious! Tottaly worth it! I've lost way too much money in beauty salons for nothing. I was doing Alexandtite and diode for years but since the results are not permanent anyways with any method, this is a money saver!
Overall, it is worth it for controlled areas such as bikini, belly, or armpits. It is extremely time-consuming on the legs and it is practically impossible to catch them all. However, it is a very good investment if you have the necessary time and do not want to waste your money on aesthetic centers.
09-07-2024 Additional comment: I have been having sessions here for eight months and even though I use a razor, hair growth is reduced by at least fifty percent. So, it is worth having sessions three times a year and then having minimal hair for the rest of the time. Overall, I still believe that if you don't mind, it is very worth the money.
I saw results after 1 month, I bought it for my armpits, it does an amazing job, now I only shave my armpits twice a month but very few hairs. It's worth the money.
I have been using it for 2 months already. I didn't expect it to be worth so much. I used to shave my armpits and legs for years, and the hair on my armpits completely disappeared with just 4 applications. I had done another laser treatment for my bikini area, but the remaining hairs also disappeared with 4 applications. It is very easy to use but it takes time. Instead of paying 150 euros for each session at a salon, it's better to spend 250 euros once and get rid of it whenever you want. It works on dark hairs. It is not recommended for other areas. Update: after about 10 months of use (and without being consistent with the sessions), 95% of the hair has disappeared from my legs and arms! I no longer have any hair on my bikini area and armpits, only fuzz. I will definitely buy it again if it breaks
It does an amazing job. I've had it for 2 months and I use it on my hands, chest, and stomach. The only negative thing is that I don't know if it has happened to someone else or just me, but some hairs grow back white
It takes patience to see results.
After 1.5 months of use, as the sessions dictate, the hair has completely disappeared from the face, armpits, stomach, and legs, although in some areas it varies.
I am very satisfied, I did not expect it to actually work.
I highly recommend it, it's worth 1000!
Buy it without fear, kids. It's a lifesaver and literally "immortal"! I've had it for 2 years now and the use I've given it is extensive. It does exactly what it promises. I literally only remove 2-3 hairs in the areas where I've done treatment, and usually it's my fault because I forget and don't do the touch-up once a month as recommended. The results are truly immediate if you faithfully follow the application plan, which is once every 15 days. When you finish the plan, it just needs maintenance once a month. I have fair skin and dark hair, and it truly makes all the hairs disappear. I should note that I haven't tried it on my armpits and bikini area. Because the hair there is very coarse, I believe it needs treatment with alexandrite and that's why I went to a dermatologist. Anyway, it's worth every cent! Even if it breaks or burns at some point, I will buy it again without a second thought!
Excellent choice for the money, it works perfectly and without irritation or pain for those with open skin and relatively dark hair. I started in November when I bought it and now in February the hair on my hands and legs has weakened and thinned out significantly. It is essential to follow the time intervals and instructions. I did it every Sunday to catch the hair in all its phases. It requires consistency, don't think that I will zap them for a month and be done, the follicles may regrow. Pay attention to the surface of the skin, the device is a rectangle that emits light. Try not to waste flashes in the same spot or skip "rectangles" on the skin. Before you start, have a good shave and dry skin, no peeling, no creams/oils.
I didn't expect it, but it's definitely worth the money. It has results if you follow the program correctly. It just needs a little more time than the company says because the machine heats up and you have to let it cool for about 15 minutes, but that's a small disadvantage compared to the result.
I have only used it 3 times, so I don't have a complete opinion on the result. I pass each area twice, horizontally and vertically, to make sure I don't miss anything and to ensure good coverage. My skin turns slightly red, but it goes away in a few minutes, although not in all areas where I apply it more (but I have very sensitive skin). I saw results from the second time I used it everywhere except for the bikini line (I don't have hair there due to a different type of laser). The major drawback is that it is very slow (especially for those of us who have to go over areas twice) and the machine heats up quickly and becomes uncomfortable (you feel a burning sensation on the skin). To avoid lowering the intensity, I take many breaks, and it is incredibly time-consuming; it takes me 3-4 days to do my whole body. Apart from the burning sensation due to the heated machine, the IPL doesn't hurt at all, it's nothing like the stronger lasers they use in clinics. If any area hurts a little, it's the armpits. I also use it on my face, bikini area, and chest, even though it's not recommended, and personally, it hasn't caused any issues for me. If it wasn't a gift, I would buy the slightly more expensive one from the same company that has a special head for the bikini area and face. Overall, it seems like a good choice for a more affordable hair removal method, considering that even after 4 years of Alexandrite laser, I didn't see permanent results. As for the trimmer, I would say it's unnecessary; it's only useful for the face, and it comes in a package with IPL, which is not recommended for the face. It's better to trim the rest of the body with medical razors (trimmers) in the direction of hair growth.
The next time, I will write down the time it took for each area of hair removal (including breaks due to overheating).
Edit: It's not worth it. I had stopped the Alexandrite laser for years, and the thinning I had was permanent no matter how much I "disturbed" the hair with wax. As soon as I did this laser, it seemed effective until I stopped doing it for about 3 months due to time constraints. The hair increased and there were more than before! This may be because it doesn't have the power of a laser and activates dormant hair. It's a waste of money, really.
It is an alternative solution to laser. It just requires consistency in the sessions, which I haven't managed to achieve, meaning I always delay. But despite that, I have seen a significant difference and the hair has become sparse and thin. I also use it on my face, even though it normally says it is not recommended with the provided head, and I have seen a tremendous difference. Value for money, clearly.
It does what it says. I highly recommend it. After almost two months, I have seen a significant difference. The hair is thinner and the growth rate has slowed down.
After 2 months of use, I can say that the hairs have decreased by a very large percentage. On my legs, I believe that wherever I still see some hairs is because I have missed that specific spot. Unfortunately, it is easy to miss a spot in a large area like the legs. Also, on the face (mustache, chin), I do not see a huge difference at the moment.
Update after 1.5 years of use: The best money I have spent. Especially when it is summer and you no longer care about shaving your legs, you don't need anything else for me. The mustache and chin have reduced the thick black hairs that used to grow, and if I see any occasionally, they are lighter and finer.
Unfortunately, I see that within 2 years, the price has increased by 100 euros! Unbelievable, really. Instead of the price decreasing as the model gets older, it is increasing!
3rd application on armpits, bikini area, and stomach. The results are very pleasant!! It does the job, very few hairs left, I couldn't believe it but it's worth it in the end!! 80% of the hair is gone, it doesn't hurt at all.. Consistency is needed in the app sessions!!
Keep in mind that it is time-consuming, as each stroke must be at least 4 seconds apart from the previous one. Also, it heats up easily and you can feel it. If you don't have it constantly in contact with the skin until it is ready for the next stroke, then it doesn't heat up as much. But it is incredibly effective. I have had it for 6-7 months and now I am searching for each hair one by one!
Following the recommended frequency of applications, you see results. Personally, I saw results from the second application on my bikini line and underarms. It takes longer for the legs. It requires patience, it's not a laser. However, it's worth the money.
Man. It's worth its money! It does what it says. Very good job on chest, stomach, and genital organs. After 3 times, 80% of the hair is gone!
---- Now I have done it 7 times. I do it every 25 days repeatedly. 90% of the hair doesn't come out.
Job well done
I will not comment on the effectiveness of the product, I just want to mention that it is not an FDA-approved device. Do your research before making a decision.
Having tired of the razor, I decided to make the purchase and due to Black Friday, I got it for 175€. First of all, I have to say that except for a few areas where the sensation was more intense, I didn't feel any pain in the rest. I had it on intensity level 4, with fair skin tone and black hair, and I think it's okay. I shaved my mustache, cheeks, and chin (which I have a major issue with hair growth) in 5 minutes, armpits in another 5, and the whole leg and backside in 1 hour. I closed the device for 10 minutes to let it rest, and it and my hand were all fine. It didn't overheat or anything. It requires attention to have good contact with the skin, but the device is more convenient than I thought for hard-to-reach areas! After my first session, these are my thoughts!
Update 2 weeks later: While I read about results in 2 months, I have already had my second session and the reduction in hair growth is already noticeable! I would say it's a 30% reduction, and it's definitely worth the money and more!
Update 2 months later: On my face, except for 3 persistent hairs, I have forgotten that I had a hair growth problem, no other hair comes out! Armpits still have some weaker hairs, but I believe they will go away a little later. Legs and backside have an 85% reduction (although it looks like freshly shaved, it's not completely smooth and no new hairs grow). I also tried the bikini area on intensity level 3, it doesn't hurt at all, but unfortunately, since I have darker skin there, a red light turns on and it doesn't let me treat the whole length with the laser.
Update 9 months later: First summer I enjoy without a razor! Now I do touch-ups every 4 weeks (if you leave it for 5 or 6 weeks, some hairs start to grow again in certain areas and the flow gets disrupted, so don't do it even as a joke) and 95% of the hairs have disappeared! Also, the device easily overheats, meaning it needs 8 breaks in between for the whole leg and buttocks. It's a bit boring, but if you plan it, for example, while watching a movie, you won't even notice. It's definitely more time-consuming than in the beginning and also annoying to have to do it once a month since it's not as permanent as laser treatments in institutes, but with the money I spent, I don't regret it even 1%! If you don't want to spend a fortune, it's value for money!
I decided to try doing my legs myself because I have some areas that I missed at the salon. I can say that I have exactly the same irritation and the hair burns, I didn't expect such results.
After a while, I left my legs without treating the area and I don't have any growth in many areas, but with one calf, the device overheats and it takes double the time, so I stopped doing sessions on the entire leg.
