Lumea IPL 8000IPL Hair removal device with SenseIQ

I’m now 3 treatments into my IPL journey with the Philips Lumea 8000. I have been using it on my upper and lower legs and underarms, following the recommended treatment schedule, and so far I’m really impressed with it. After just 3 treatments I am already starting to notice a difference, especially on my upper legs where I have seen a reduction in hair growth. On my lower legs I have also noticed that I am getting fewer ingrown hairs, which is something I wasn’t actually expecting but is a fantastic bonus!! I am half way through the treatment process, so I’m looking forward to seeing how much more of a difference I notice over the next few treatments. The Lumea itself is really easy to hold and use. I was expecting IPL to be uncomfortable, but I have honestly found it really easy and completely painless. The SmartSkin sensor is a great feature as it takes away some of the guesswork and helps choose the right intensity for your skin tone, which makes the whole process feel much more reassuring. One tip I would give is to use it in a room with really good natural light. The flashes are very bright and can be quite intense on the eyes, especially when you’re doing a larger area. I was actually quite surprised that you don’t need protective eyewear, although the safety features on the device are reassuring. The contact sensor is great because you know you have got the Lumea in the right position, although I have found it can take a little more manoeuvring around bony areas like the shins and knees to get it sitting flat enough. However, once you get the hang of it, it’s not really an issue. The Lumea app is probably one of my favourite features. It gives you lots of useful information and articles, talks you through the treatments and, most importantly for me, gives you reminders so you don’t forget when your next treatment is due. The initial treatments are every two weeks, so having the reminders makes it really easy to keep on top of everything. It was really helpful to input measurments and calculate how many flashes were needed. The only thing I have found with doing both legs is that it can get a little repetitive. There’s nothing difficult about it, but obviously there’s a lot of area to cover! I tend to put something on the TV while I am doing it, which makes it much less noticeable. The storage bag is another thing I really like. It’s really nice and good quality and makes keeping everything together easy. I do think it could be just a little bigger though, as getting the Lumea and charger back inside can be a bit of a squeeze. Not a huge issue, just something I noticed. The device itself feels really well made and sturdy, and definitely feels like something that’s been designed to last. Overall, 3 treatments in and I’m really pleased with it. I am already seeing a reduction in hair growth and fewer ingrown hairs, and the actual treatment has been much easier and more comfortable than I expected from an at-home IPL device. I’m going to carry on with the recommended treatments and see how much more of a difference I get. So far, I’d definitely recommend the Philips Lumea 8000 if you’re thinking about trying IPL at home. ❤️

The Philips Lumea IPL 8000 Series has made my life so much easier! Well not only mine but husband’s too! The hair removing device is so cool! It has an app which keeps a track of the journey to get hair free! It has five options for the size of window needed to focus! The speed is great! It is easy to maintain, there is a cloth to clean and a storage bag to keep it in safe. The device doesn’t take much space too which is a plus!

I’ve absolutely loved using an at home IPL device! I was nervous at first because it’s my first time using this type of hair removal tool but it’s amazing! I’ve done about 3 sessions every couple of weeks and my hair is visibly finer and coming back in slower. It’s abit fidgety to start with but once you get used it it’s very easy! Just make sure you shave your hair in the treatment area first! The attachment that comes with it makes it a very smooth glide! It only takes me 30 mins in a session for me and the noise is just as loud as a fan very unnoticeable. It seems to be a very sturdy product and not flimsy and seems like it will last me the next few years and the app is a brilliant tool to help with any questions or even instructions. I used the level 2 and gradually went up to 3/4 in some sessions and in the coming weeks I will go up intensity I’d recommend starting a little higher if you have thick hair.

the device is shaped like a hand held gun and moves with ease on any area you are using it on, easy to set up and plugs in to use, really quiet when device is in use, this device is a magical after a few sessions i have personally noticed it has left my legs feeling smooth and i can confidently say its been a few weeks since seeing a single hair appear, its really excellent value for money if you added up how much you go to your fav place to get your legs or body area waxed or treated this covers itself and perfect for your pamper nights alone or with friends, i have loved doing my legs, the device feels really nice to hold and soo easy to use, the app that comes with it is really good you can even set reminders to when to use the product, i personally would recommend this product and already have to my family, i feel really happy and excited to continue my journey with lumea, i'm excited to try this device on other parts of my body as only focused on my legs for now, i personally will not be grabbing any hair removal cream going forward as this device is just perfect and my new go to! the attachments that come with it are easy to pull off and on for use on other parts of your body as instructed on the app, the device comes with a nice gold material bag to store in after every use too. :)

I absolutely loved testing the Philips Lumea 7000 IPL device which comes with a body attachment, instruction manual cleaning cloth and a storage pouch. What I absolutely love about it is that it has a dedicated Lumea App which makes the experience effortless , convenient and easy to understand. You can register the device on the app for extended warranty, watch videos to understand the product features as well as step by step tutorial and instructions. You can save your treatment settings, set reminders for the app to notify you before your next treatment period. The IPL device itself is strong, durable and well made keeping comfort and safety in mind. I was quite apprehensive before use but the step by step instructions and ease of use made me feel happy and relieved. After you switch the power on, the led light for the intensity number blinks, you then place it on the area of use and the device will automatically select the intensity based on your skin tone. When the flash indicator is white, you press the flash button to treat that area. It’s that simple! If it is your first time, you test with the recommended intensity to see its comfortable and depending on that increase or decrease the intensity setting to your desired level. Check for any undesirable effects or reaction after 24 hours. If no adverse effects, continue treatment with the remainder of the area. Before treating any new areas always recheck the intensity level with a patch test as there might be differences in skin tone. After the treatment you have to leave it for 15 minutes to cool down, that’s it. A cleaning cloth is provided for cleaning the attachment of any dirt or residue before next use. I would love to see the long term effects of this device on my hair growth cycle however so far I am quite happy as I believe it is a good investment in the long term in terms of time, effort as well as money. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely love this hair removal device. Super easy to use and set up. Different settings for which area of hair removal with different attachments. I have done my arm pits and top lip and noticed results after two uses. Skin feels so much smoother and hair is already taking much longer to grow. Nice and compact so easy to store. I would definitely recommend making this part of your beauty routine so no more shaving.

So easy to use. Virtually painless too. Very easy to set up and use, just plug it in and it’s ready to go. Just done my second treatment and already noticing a difference!

Usually I am anxious to use things like that at home. I had my eyebrows tattoo removed with laser this year and it was freaking painful! I thought this one might be the same, but luckily it was nothing like that. Little pain, very easy to use, instruction is clear and package is lovely. Just like it should be!

Im really enjoying my philips lumea IPL so far its easy to use convenient and fits nicely into my routine i love that app guides me through each session making the whole experience simple and stress free do far im very happy with it and looking forward to continuing!

I’ve been using the Philips Lumea IPL 8000 Series BRI874 and have really enjoyed the experience so far. The device is easy to use, feels comfortable on the skin, and fits well into my beauty routine. I appreciate being able to treat different areas at home and on my own schedule. Consistency is important, but I’m pleased with how simple and convenient the process has been. Overall, a great at-home IPL option!
