Philips introduces Lumea; a safe and painless solution to hair removal, with results that last up to 8 weeks; Philips Lumea uses an innovative light-based technology called IPL, derived from the technology used in professional beauty salons. This Lumea comes with 3 specially designed attachments for face, body & bikini area. Model number: SC2009/00. Gentle pulses of light are applied that put hair into the resting phase. The hairs naturally shed in the 1-2 weeks post treatment and further regrowth is inhibited, leaving you with silky smooth skin. Philips has worked closely with dermatologists and experts to develop our breakthrough hair removal system. Studies have shown significant hair reduction in as little as two fortnightly treatments. Results that you can see. Enjoy over 75% hair reduction after only four bi-weekly treatments. After these treatments, you can enjoy the freedom of smooth skin for up to two months between treatments. Used correctly, philips lumeas ipl treatment is safe and gentle to use even on sensitive skin and sensitive body areas. Lumeas unique cordless design is perfect for treating the areas you want, when you want. Apply gentle pulses of light to the hair. The light produces heat in the hair, which is transferred to the hair follicle. This stimulates the hair follicle to go into a resting phase. Apply lumea every 2 weeks for the initial 4-5 treatments. In between treatments, hair falls out naturally and regrowth is inhibited. For best results, we recommend an 8 week schedule, followed by touch ups every 2-4 weeks.
