Philips Epilator SC200900

PL Technology

Philips Lumea uses an innovative light-based technology called IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), derived from the technology used in professional beauty salons. Philips has adapted this technology for safe and effective use in the comfort of your own home. Philips worked closely with skin care experts to develop this technology, carrying out extensive consumer research on IPL technology with over 2000 women.

Customised treatment

Philips Lumea has five adjustable light energy settings to ensure gentle but effective treatment. Used correctly, Philips Lumea’s IPL treatment is safe and gentle to use even on sensitive skin and sensitive body areas.

Cordless convenience

Lumea’s unique cordless design is perfect for treating the areas you want, when you want, without being restricted by cords, so it’s much easier to handle.

No replacement parts needed

Philips Lumea is a complete solution that comes ready to work right out of the box. More importantly, it does not require any replacement lamps or gels.

Slide & Flash mode

Slide & Flash mode is especially convenient for treating larger areas like the legs. Keep the flash button pressed. The appliance releases one flash after another as long as the skin contact surface is in full contact with the skin. After each flash, slide the appliance to the next area, with smooth even pressure.

Facial and bikini attachments

The facial and bikini attachments are equipped with additional integrated light filters to ensure safe and convenient application on the upper lip, chin, sideburns and bikini area.

How does Philips Lumea prevent hair growth?

Gentle pulses of light are applied directly to the hair. The melanin in the hair and hair root absorbs the light pulses. This process results in the follicle going into a resting phase. The hair sheds naturally and regrowth is inhibited. A simple and gentle treatment once every two to four weeks will prevent hair roots from becoming active again and prevent new hair from growing back.

Suitable hair and skin types

Philips Lumea works effectively on naturally dark blonde, brown and black hairs. As with other light-based treatments, Philips Lumea is not effective on red, light-blonde or white/grey hair. Philips Lumea is also not suitable for very dark skin.

Is Lumea right for me?

Philips Lumea works effectively on (naturally) dark-blonde, brown and black hair. It is NOT suitable for (naturally) red, grey and light blonde hair or for very dark skin types (skin type VI).
