Lumea Essential BRI861/00 IPL - Hair removal device is rated 4.2 out of 5 by 96.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Not an instant fix but gradual hair reduction I have been using the philips limea essential for a few weeks and as the title says its not a quick fix to hair removal but stick with it and over the course of 6-8 weeks hair regrowth is very significantly reduced. Its a light weight and portable device although it is corded so you need to be near a power point to use it. Very easy device to use and it has the added extra of a slide and flash mode which is very good for treating upper and lower legs. A treatment takes less than 10 mins and is pain free,its all done by a series of flashes so very good if you want a hassle free pain free hair removal that over time really does build up to smooth skin.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from No results at all after 8 weeks I'm due my 5th treatment and have been using every 2 weeks as per instructions and hair is growing back at same rate it always has. Unbelievably disappointed so far. Following instructions to the letter and seem to have the right skin tone and hair colour for this to work. Almost don't even feel like doing the 5th treatment but I've spent so much money on it I feel like it should work at some point. Frustrating as it also means shaving rather waxing which I normally wouldn't do. Used on legs, underarm and bikini and tracked with the app. Gutted.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It is what it is Highly recommended :) if you follow the instructions and keep up using you wont be disappointed. I always had dark, jet black hairs which is really annoying and hard to get rid of... (you know the one, you can see it grow even if they are just about to get to the surface....really annoying especially at summer, on the bikini line, under arm etc ) so after a good year of use I see a significant reduction and I do not have to shave often between 2 laser therapy. I am so glad that I found this product, and had faith in it. :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A great device. The freedom from shaving has arrived!! I have been using the device for a number of weeks and can already see a reduction in hair growth. The hair that has grown back is noticeably thinner. It is really quick and easy to hold and manoeuvre the device and I can treat my upper and lower legs, bikini line and underarms in less than half an hour. Occasionally it smells of singeing hair and can feel a bit hot which is disconcerting, but it's safe. It is pricey, but it works and it's a good exchange to be free of the inconvenience of shaving and the discomfort of epilating.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from No luck so far I chose this product for a Christmas present. My husband had done some research and we were happy that his sounded like a good product. However, 8 weeks of use and still not noticed any difference with hair growth on bikini line. I am so frustrated as my skin/hair colour seem to suggest that it would be a success. I had chosen the product over going to a salon so that I would have more flexibility but I'm worried that I just wasted a lot of money.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Impressed with the results The product is sleek and stylish. It takes a bit of time to read and understand the instructions but by second use you feel like a pro and tempted to try different settings/modes. You will be required to shave before first use so don't throw your razors away just yet. Not given it 5 stars as it can be slightly uncomfortable when trying to reach some areas on your lower legs and it is hard to tell which parts have been treated and which have not. Overall very satisfied with the product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A must have What an incredible product! Have always been put off from using these devices but so glad I took the plunge. Really easy design to hold and use, simple buttons and instructions, you cant go wrong. Genuinely didnt expect to see any results, but after a few weeks, i noticed patches of skin that was completley hair free and super smooth as if it had just been waxed, and it has stayed like this! My hair feels a lot less course and it takes me no time at all to shave the remainder hair.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Bulky and not very effective After 4 sessions, I expected to have smooth legs and no need to shave anymore, but instead I still need to shave just as much as I always have. The device is heavy and even though it states lower legs take 8 mins each, I've never managed this, and when I came close to this, I felt like I was missing areas. It's impossible to track the areas you've already treated and the cord gets in the way making it even more difficult to reach nooks and cranies

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Philips I found the device user friendly and liked the results, they seemed promising although I wasn't able to complete the full treatment programme as my device broke. I used it to the letter as per the instructions and tried all of the trouble shooting recommendations to no avail. I would have loved a replacement device to see the end result. I am sure I would have been 100% happy if I could have completed the entire treatment programme.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from brilliant device I am very impressed with the results of this device. I didnt expect it to be so effective. It really stopped my hair growth and was very easy and safe to use. I feel secure as it has built in safety features. Its not time consuming at all and takes far less time than what I have to commit to shaving and waxing routines. In the long term it will also save me money on having to repeatedly buy shaving or waxing products.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very easy to use I found it really easy and comfortable to use. It fits nicely in my hand, it is light and I am able to get to the hard to reach areas without any problems I have used it for 7 weeks and have had good results on my upper legs. On my lower legs and armpits my hair has grown back at a much slower rate. I hope after more usage I will have the same results in these areas as I have on my upper legs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quick and effective results. I tried the Lumea IPL out thinking it would be like other hair removal device. How wrong was I. I used the device on various parts of my body and found it easy to use and maneouvour. It easily glided over my skin and left it feeling soft and silky. The regrowth now takes longer to come through and is also thiner. The device is easy to store and put together and very quick and easy to clean.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy and pain free A great system to remove unwanted hair with the Lumea. Simple to set up and start using this is great and pain free way of removing hair. Using light to stop the growth of unwanted hair, I found it painless and quick to use. Only taking 10 minutes or so every two weeks in the intial set up time. Then use it every 8 weeks to continue with the treatment for stubble free arms, legs and face.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Throw away the razors! What an effective hair removal gadget, not a gimmick. This light weight product from Philips allows a directed pulse of high intensity light to reduced the growth of body hair. After just two applications I really noticed a difference of thickness and amount of regrowth that I simply do not get from wet shaving. This is a product you will become to need as it is so great.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from How fabulous The Lumea is so easy and quick to use, it fits in your hand perfectly, most importantly it has diminished hair growth very noticeably, it is completely painless. I was dubious before I tried this but now I have recommended to everyone. You need only do it once every other week, quick and easy for smooth hair free skin, no stubble or shaving rash bliss.
