Does Philips Lumea remove hair permanently?
Does Philips Lumea remove hair permanently?
Both Braun and Philips Lumea IPL devices do permanently reduce hair. So when the Lumea suggests you perform maintenance treatments every eight weeks, that’s not to say you’ll have hairy legs after eight weeks! It just means that you’ll need to catch the tiny hairs that might be making a break for it.
Does hair fall out after using Philips Lumea?
Contrary to other treatments, hairs are not vaporised by IPL treatment. The hair follicles are killed by the heat but the hairs remain in the skin and often become attached to the epidermis. They will fall out after 1 to 3 weeks as the epidermis is renewed.
What happens if you use Philips Lumea every week?
No, using your Philips Lumea more often than recommended will not speed up the hair removal process. Do not treat the same area multiple times in one session as this will not improve efficacy and can cause skin irritation.

Should I shave my upper lip before laser hair removal?
A: Unfortunately, yes you do need to shave your facial hair in preparation for your laser treatment. The reason for this is that we need for the hair follicle and root to be intact so that the laser can destroy it; which is why waxing, tweezing, and epilating are not allowed.
Can I use IPL on pubic hair?
Is IPL suitable for intimate areas? IPL is safe for use on the bikini line, but it isn’t suitable for the genital area where the skin may have a darker colour and where there is a greater hair density, which would absorb more light energy and may cause discomfort.
Can I do IPL without shaving?
It won’t work. If there’s hair on the surface, a lot less light energy makes it deep into the follicle. Those key areas of the hair follicle remain cool and untouched, so they go about their business building and growing your hairs. So, that’s why you really must remove those surface hairs before laser and IPL.

Can I use epilator on upper lip?
Epilators remove more than one hair at a time though, so epilating is a more efficient method than tweezing.
