Philips Lumea Series 8000 IPL Hair Removal Device

Model: BRI946/00

1. Introduzione

The Philips Lumea Series 8000 IPL Hair Removal Device, featuring SenseIQ technology, offers a personalized and comprehensive solution for hair removal. This device includes three intelligent attachments designed for the body, face, and precision areas. Clinical tests demonstrate that Lumea IPL can effectively reduce hair growth, providing smooth skin for up to 18 months with up to 92% hair reduction after just 3 sessions. This corded device utilizes Philips' unique patented Lumea Smart Pulse™ technology, which combines balanced power, colored light, and optimal pulse duration for safe and effective hair removal. Developed over 20 years of specialized research, Philips Lumea serves as an effective alternative to laser hair removal.

The integrated skin contact sensors ensure eye safety by only emitting a flash when in full contact with the skin, eliminating the need for protective eyewear during sessions. For an optimized experience, the FREE Lumea app provides personalized guidance and treatment plans.

6.2. How IPL Works

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology targets hair at the root. Gentle pulses of light are applied to the hair follicle, causing it to enter a resting phase and shed naturally. Repeated sessions target hairs in their growth phase, preventing regrowth over time.
