Product Description
What is IPL?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. Philips Essential applies gentle pulses of light to the hair root, putting the follicle into a resting phase. Therefore, the amount of hair your body grows gradually decreases. Repeating the treatment leaves your skin beautifully hair free and smooth. Treatment to prevent hair regrowth is safe and gentle, even on sensitive areas. Philips Essential is clinically tested and developed with dermatologists for easy and effective treatment, from the comfort of your own home.
Who is it suited to?
It works effectively, easily and safely on a wide variety of hair and skin types. It works on naturally dark blonde, brown and black coloured hairs and on skin tones from very white to dark brown. As with other IPL based treatments, Philips Essential cannot be used to treat white/grey, light blonde or red hair and is not suitable for very dark skin. This is due to the high contrast required between the pigment in hair colour and pigment in the skin tone.
Where can you treat?
The Lumea Essential is suited for body use such as, arms, legs, underarms, belly and bikini and areas on the face like chin, sideburns and upper lip. It can take approximately 10 minutes to treat both legs. Its slightly lower power compared to premium models like the Lumea Advanced allows it to be a reliable yet speedier device.
