Hair Removal

Hair removal technology has advanced significantly in the last decade. At-home IPL devices now offer near-permanent results comparable to professional treatments at a fraction of the long-term cost.

01
IPL is most effective on dark hair and fair skin — check the compatibility chart before purchasing
02
Consistency over 12 weeks produces the best results — irregular use significantly reduces effectiveness
03
Shave before treatment — IPL works on the follicle, not the surface hair

Philips makes the most trusted at-home IPL device — the Lumea Advanced uses SenseIQ technology that reads your skin tone and recommends the correct intensity automatically. Corded for continuous use without waiting to recharge, five intensity settings, and face and body attachments included. The device that most women who try IPL at home start with and often don't need to upgrade from.
