Philips Lumea Essential works wonders to prevent the reappearance of facial and body hair. When applied regularly, the gentle pulses of light keep skin silky-smooth every day. Philips Lumea applies gentle pulses of light to the hair root. As a consequence, the amount of hair your body grows gradually decreases. Repeating the treatment leaves your skin beautifully hair free and touchably smooth. Philips Lumea works effectively on (naturally) dark blonde, brown and black hairs. As with other light-based treatments, Philips Lumea is not effective on red, light-blonde or white/grey hair. This product is also not suitable for dark skin. Suitable for use on the arms, legs, belly, bikini, underarms, chin, sideburns and upper lip.
