Lumea Precision Plus SC2003/11 IPL hair removal system is rated 4.2 out of 5 by 149.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from I will never wax again! First thing you must do is READ THE MANUAL I have always had coarse dark hair on my legs. Shaving would only be effect for 24 hours and then it would all have to happen again. Waxing gave me a few days .... It took me a feww goes to get used to the operation of the Lumea e.g. when you get the great light you are good to go and you achieve this by the safety guide being full depressed. First attempt on the legs took about half an hour. Top lip 5 minutes and underarms 10 minutes ..... then wait for two weeks. Week three was much quicker and I could see bald patches on my leg where the hair had not returned. Week five ... LOVING THE RESULTS .... will never wax again! Cannot wait to Week Seven...

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Loved it until it stopped working I have had this product for a couple of years. Use it every couple of months. It is really effective. It doesn't get rid of hair but certainly really slows regrowth, making it patchier and the hair thinner. (But that may be because I have PCOS) All was fantastic until I went to charge it up, suddenly it doesn't work anymore and can't be repaired. It's a really expensive item but I justified buying it as the laser is guaranteed for 100000 flashes, meaning I wouldn't have to pay my beauty therapist a fortune for courses of treatment. Unfortunately the battery isn't up to even a quarter of the 100000 flashes. Really disappointed Philips.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Hair removal without the mess! The product looks and feels great quality and isn't too heavy. Although easy to handle I struggled at first to ensure the 90degree angle to make the Lumea work - when using on a continual basis I found the first couple of times that as I was pulling it towards me I was adjusting the angle. With continued use though this seemed to get easier and with practice I'm certain I will find it no problem at all. I was concerned before use that it might tingle (or even hurt) but the Lumea was great and I didn't feel a thing. I'm only on my second use but am very excited to see the results in the next 8 weeks and hopefully will be able to write another review hair free!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Life Changing Product! I was a little skeptical about how well this product would work, but can honestly say I have been completely won over by it. Within a week of my first treatment I started to notice a difference, being very pale skinned with very dark coarse hair the reduction in hair growth has been very noticeable already. Now I know the product works so well I have moved on to using underarm, bikini line and upper lip, I was worried using the Lumea Precision Plus would be painful on the more delicate areas, but it wasn't. It truly has been life changing for me, going from shaving my legs every day to within 3 weeks and only 2 treatments later, hardly needing to at all!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It works ! 4 sessions in and yes the Lumia really does work! I have brown hair and fair skin so use my Lumia on setting number 4 ,with absolutely no pain or irritation ,switching between the small and large attatchments as needed.It is really quick and easy to use ,gliding effortlessly along your leg if you get it at the correct angle. the results have been brilliant ,bare patches on my underarms and you can see and feel the difference on my legs ,i dont think i will require many more sessions to be completely hair free . This isn't for everyone as there are a few unsuitable hair/skin combinations and medical conditions.but for everyone else i highly recommend it

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Philips Lumea Precision Plus, Absolutely Il'lumea'nating! As someone with pale skin and dark brown hair, I've tried other products like this before with limited success. I was very keen, therefore, to try this new product out. The quick guide was very clear and charging was simple and quick. I was up and using it almost straight away. Testing for skin tone was first, the diagram on the very compact box was easy to follow. Next day after no problems, I set the machine to my settings and began! After flashing across a small area for a few minutes, and with no sensation or discomfort, I stopped to await expected exciting results in two weeks time! It then was packed away tidily into it's compact holder.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Still not quite hair free Last week I completed my 4th fortnightly zap (using the highest setting) with the Lumea and whilst I am not yet hair free there is a definitely a reduction in growth and I am not really having to shave between sessions. There is a slight growth that I can feel but not so visible that I have to shave before going bare legged. I have high hopes for the end result so will keep up the programme. I am also finding there is less dead skin on my legs which I would have had previously if I was shaving only once a fortnight. Very happy with how it's going and still finding it easy/quick to use. Will change rating to 5 star when hair free.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Simples!!! This product is so very easy to use once you get the hang of it which only took a couple of minutes. There is a very handy green light which lets you know that you have the device in the correct position and away you go. I did watch a demo on you tube ,just to make sure was using it correctly and away I went. One good tip was to mark with an eyeliner pencil your start point on legs so you didn't go over it twice. On first use yes there was a slight sensation but not as bad as waxing!!! Three of us have tried it and although not long enough to give accurate review of results as yet all of us impressed so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WOW I didn't know whether i'd like this product and I was a little skeptical as i'd never used a product like this before, but I was surely surprised at the outcome, I had shaved my legs before like it had suggested, there were a few areas in which I may not have shaved fully and when using it, it felt like it had burnt my leg and stung for a while, but afterwards when reaching the normal areas of skin, it worked well and even a week after the party had taken place, my legs are still smooth in the areas that I had used it, would definetly recommend it to anyone wanting this product. good use for home.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from great product this product comes with a charger but can then be used as cordless once charged so no wires getting in the way .with the use of the instructions and a video that philips have provided on there site alongside product information this product is very easy to use and not very time consuming at all i did feel a slight warmth at times and slight zap but on all whole you dont feel anything when using the product . this product comes with 2 attachments 1 being for use on face it is extremely easy to change between the 2 heads. i am very pleased with this and look forward to seeing the long term results

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Lovely sleek design I was very reserved about using this product. Having only ever used a razor was slightly nervous about what to expect. Having to make sure it has full skin contact in some places was easier said than done but once you get the hang of it I was surprised how easy it was to use. Although I haven't had any noticeable results as yet my friend who has used the Lumea for much longer definitely says its worth sticking at it and for 20 minutes once a week i have to agree. The Lumea is sleek and lighter than it looks. Plus if it lightens or reduces any unwanted hair on my body then it's got my vote.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does exactly what it says on the packaging This was fab - I was worried that it may be painful like the epilators are, but this was totally pain free and so easy and straightforward to use. The handle sits nicely in your hand and the light was not damaging to my eyes. I only tried it on my legs as my face so far hasn't started sprouting ..... yet!! Felt like a Charlie's Angel with the gun, or you could have hours of fun standing at the end of a roads pretenting its a speed gun! All in all, a good product, its a lot of money so I would struggle to be able to afford one but would consider buying one if I had a few spare pennies!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Stylish and pain-free The Philips Lumea IPL hair removal system enables you to have salon results in your own home. It charges quickly and is easy to hold in your hand. There is no pain but a slight warmth when used. However, you do need to be prepared to use this and need to fully read the instructions - e.g. not suitable for fair or red hair, need to have been out of the sun prior to use, area needs to be freshly shaved. I found this quite time-consuming to use on the legs as you can only do a small area of skin at a time. I feel it is much more suited to bikini area, underarm or facial hair.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A very easy product to use Wow, this gadget is now my best friend, so far I have used it twice so I'm looking forward to having no more body hair in six months. I cant tell if its working yet, but I do know that it does exactly as advertised, it takes no time to do the upper lip, as for the legs well lets put it this way, you have your shower then half and hour later you have finished using your Lumea and put it away until next time. Very easy to use. I'm so glad I decided to buy the Lumea. I definitely recommend that each of us ladies should have one at home, shame I didn't do so ages ago.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from So far so good Very excited to start using my Lumea so a little disappointed that you have to charge up first and do a patch test that takes 24 hours - but after that I found it very easy to use. I loved the quick start instructions which quickly told me what I needed to know rather and I think instruction book. After a bath and shaving my legs I sat on the bed with the tv on and zapped my legs whilst I caught my favourite tv programme. The Lumea is so easy to use you can do it with one eye on the tv - so no time wasted! I just can't wait to start seeing the results now.
