Which bikini hair removal method is best suited for keeping your bikini line at bay? Waxing makes it looks great yet leaves you with up to 2 weeks of stubble in between waxes. Shaving creates instant results, but ouch, those irritations the day after. And how to get those shapes you want? Fortunately, there is an answer: bikini trimming! It's irritation-free, it's safe and it's precise.
You want to have a nicely trimmed bikini line but prefer to avoid irritating the skin. You like looking special - all over - and need a precise trim head to create a stylish shape. The Bikini Perfect Trimmer comes with a precision trimmer that offers ultimate precision and minimal irritation! It comes with six attachments to help shape the bikini line. Take care of your body in a way that truly exhibits your personal style!
After nearly a decade of going hairless or having the popular 'Brazilian' below, shapely fronts are definitely the latest personal grooming trend for stylish women (and even some men). Want to feel unique and sensual yet prefer to steer clear of rashes? Trim and shape your bikini line any way you fancy using the clever gentle Philips Bikini trimmer. Feeling outrageous? Go for the 'heart', 'crown' or 'butterfly'!
Is it difficult to epilate?
No, you can do this at ease in your own bathroom or bedroom. Just switch on the appliance and start epilating from the bottom up, moving the epilator upwards against the hair growth direction. Our cordless versions can be used anywhere!
What about ingrown hairs?
Exfoliating not only gives you gorgeously smooth skin but also helps prevent ingrown hairs. Dead skin cells are scrubbed off and fine hairs can grow the way they're supposed to. Exfoliate regularly between sessions, yet wait 2-3 days after epilating.
Can I use an epilator on different body areas?
Some skin areas are more sensitive than others. You can use a sensitive cap that reduces the number of active tweezers on the skin so that fewer hairs are caught and pulled at the same time. You could also select a model that comes with a shaving head attachment or bikini trim attachment.
Is it painful to epilate?
When you are new to epilation the first few epilation sessions can be sensitive. This will decrease rapidly over time as your skin gets used to the sensation. Besides, less hair will re-grow over time.
How can I reduce the pulling sensation of epilators?
The Satinelle Ice Premium makes use of the naturally soothing power of ice. During epilation, the cooler glides over the skin, gently numbing it and reducing any irritation... 
...There are also epilators with a massaging effect, such as our Satinelle Ice Premium with sonic massage with aloe vera. It tenderly stimulates the skin, thereby reducing the pulling sensation to the minimum and making the whole epilation process more comfortable.
Can anybody use an epilator? What if I have sensitive skin?
The epilator is designed with all types of skin in mind. We do recommend you consult the directions for use first. Our epilation head has ceramic tweezers that grip even the finest hairs and have a hypoallergenic coating that is gentle on the skin.
The Philips epilators with ice pack are particularly suitable for those whose skin is sensitive or prone to allergic reactions.
Are epilators hygienic?
All our epilator heads are washable, so easy to clean. Conveniently, epilating does not leave a mess!
Epilation myths unravelled
Hair will not grow back darker. Hair that has grown back has its natural colour. The only difference is that the sun hasn't discoloured it - yet.
Epilation does not increase hair growth. What can create this impression is that higher summer temperatures influence hair growth. Blood circulates faster, which improves the nutrition of hair roots.
Remind me. What is IPL?
Philips Lumea works with Intense Pulsed Light, derived from technology used in professional beauty salons for hair removal. Gentle pulses of light are applied to the hair roots present under your skin. The heat from the light is absorbed by the root and this puts it to sleep. As a consequence, hair sheds naturally and re-growth is inhibited.
Is Philips Lumea easy to use?
Philips Lumea is gentle, safe and cordless. You can combine leg treatments with other activities around the house such as watching TV or listening to music.
How do I start?
1. Pre-shaving the treatment area is required for the first few treatments until re-growth prevention is achieved.
2. Start your treatment with the armpits. Treatment in the armpit can be a little tiring because you have to lift your arms during application. But this doesn't take long!
3. Perform the treatment on stretched skin. This way, the safety switches can be pressed onto the skin more easily. If you have problems treating your shinbone, pull your skin gently away from the bony part of your leg while treating this area.
When do I start?
Intense Pulsed Light works best when you start in winter or early spring on un-tanned skin. This way, your skin is smooth by the time summer comes.
When should I wait?
All skin types react differently from day to day for different reasons (hormones, mood, surroundings etc). Defer treatment to another day if you are feeling particularly sensitive. Stay Zen about when and hair removal will be a smooth ride.
How long do I have to wait before the treatment starts to work?
The hairs start to fall out in the days or weeks after the treatment. You can expedite this process by scrubbing the treated areas with a towel...
...The friction peels away the treated hair, revealing the smooth results for all to admire.
How does IPL hair removal help me get rid of ingrown hairs?
The treatment with light prevents hair re-growth and therefore also minimises the occurrence of ingrown hairs in future. In the initial phase of IPL hair removal, if shaving prior to using Philips Lumea causes ingrown hairs, pull the ingrown hairs out using tweezers.
Continuous use will reward you with less ingrown hairs.
My skin is sensitive. What are the advantages of IPL hair removal?
Aside from the obvious advantage of putting an end to visible hair-re-growth, IPL hair removal is ideal for sensitive skins. After the first few treatments, you no longer have to shave beforehand.
This means you will no longer have to deal with skin irritations!
Are any areas unsuitable for IPL hair removal?
It must not be used to treat moles, although you may treat the area around a mole if you take certain precautions. If there is a mole in the area you want to treat, mark the area with a white eye-pencil. Treat outside all the marked areas.
Please read the section "Contraindications" in the user manual.
I am a bit hesitant about shaving prior to the first 5 treatments, because shaving gives me a rash. How can I avoid this problem?
Trim the hairs as short as possible using a trimming comb (e.g. on a bikini trimmer). The trimming comb does not touch the skin, thereby reducing skin irritation.
Shave the areas a few hours before you start using Philips Lumea. This allows any skin irritation to subside.
To prevent injuries you could try to shave by not using a new blade.
To prevent skin reactions after shaving, use an ultrasonic gel. The neutral ingredients are perfect for normal to sensitive skin types.
To minimise skin reactions, shave very slowly and stretch the skin during shaving.
1. Persistence pays off.
Hair does not grow at the same speed. Epilate regularly the first few weeks and you will be rewarded with long lasting smooth legs!
2. Moon over sun.
Evenings are the best time for your epilation sessions. You will feel relaxed and any minor skin irritations that may occur will disappear over night.
3. Make a clean start.
Taking a shower or bath before you start will help open the skin pores, resulting in a closer shave or epilation.
4. Dry - as in very.
Make sure your skin is completely dry and free of any creams or lotions.
5. Tame before you aim!
You will get the smoothest results when hairs are not too long. Trim before if necessary.
6. Stretch it tight.
Stretch your skin with your free hand while epilating. This lifts up the hairs and helps to minimise the pulling sensation...
7. Lift or rub?
Flat lying hairs are lifted with the hair lift attachment (some models). Or, rub your skin before you begin to epilate. This raises the shortest hairs and enhances the tweezers' grip.
8. Be nice!
Apply your favourite body lotion or oil after depilation, to give your skin that nice, silky glow. However, do not use products that contain alcohol. When you have just epilated your underarms, you can use a deodorant for sensitive skin or some talcum powder.
1. Make a clean start.
Taking a shower or bath before you start will help open the skin pores, resulting in a closer shave or epilation.
2. Dry - as in very.
When shaving or epilating on dry skin, make sure that your skin is completely dry and free of any creams or lotions.
3. Tame before you aim!
Always trim your bikini area before shaping it.
Trimming: Use the precision trimmer with the precision comb to trim your bikini line. Its 5 length settings allow you to trim to different lengths, ranging from 2-10 mm.
Styling: Use the precision trimmer without comb to style your bikini line. Trimming without the precision comb results in a hair length of approx. 0.5 mm.
4. Create an outline.
You can use an eyebrow pencil to sketch a shape, or create your own shape by using one of the stencils!
5. Hold your skin taut.
To achieve the best result, use your free hand to stretch your skin so hairs are removed the way they should be!
6. Remove the comb.
Then use the Micro Trimmer, Micro Shaver or Epilation head to contour and remove unwanted hair.
7. Go against the direction
Always move the appliance against the direction of hair growth.
Now you're ready to get creative and style it your own way!
1. Dry - as in very.
When shaving without water, make sure that your skin is completely dry and free of any creams or lotions.
2. Full contact is the key.
Ensure the entire shaving head touches your skin and that you hold the lady shave at the right angle (approx. 90 degrees) to get a smooth result.
3. Go against the direction.
Move the lady shave against the direction of hair growth. In some areas, hair may grow in different directions. In this case, it may be helpful to move the appliance in different directions to achieve optimal results.
4. Hold your skin taut.
To achieve the best result, use your free hand to stretch your skin so hairs are removed the way they should be!
5. Be nice!
Apply your favourite body lotion or oil after depilation, to give your skin that nice, silky glow.
One final check in the mirror and you are perfect to go!
1. Baby, it's cold outside
Intense Pulsed Light works best when you start in winter or early spring on un-tanned skin. This way, your skin is smooth by the time summer comes.
2. Beginner's luck
Your hair will stop reappearing after four or five treatments. To obtain the best possible results when you still have hair re-growth, shave and trim the areas you want to treat as closely as possible a few hours before using Philips Lumea.
3. Dry - as in very
Make sure your skin is completely dry and free of sweat, creams or lotions. Light treatment on wet or sweat skin causes an unpleasant sensation.
4. Keep it cool
Light is absorbed more effectively by cool skin. Wait until your skin has cooled down after a bath, shower or sauna before you start the treatment.
