Philips Lumea Prestige review: What is IPL?
IPL stands for 'Intense Pulse Light'. It uses multiple wavelengths of light to heat pigment within the hair – killing the growing cells and stopping the hair from regrowing.
With that in mind, it's a good idea to start your IPL treatment a few months before you need smooth, hair-free skin.
I have pale skin and dark hair – which is ideal when it comes to IPL. These machines are less effective if you have grey hair, red hair or light blonde hair, or if you have a darker skin tone. Below is a graphic from Philips which shows which hair and skin types are compatible with IPL:
It's worth noting that this is an issue with all IPL machines, not just the Philips Lumea Prestige.

Enjoy smooth skin with 12 months of hair reduction*
Objective studies show up to 92% hair reduction in as little as 3 treatments**. The first 4 treatments must be carried out every 2 weeks, after which you should already be able to see the desired results. To maintain your results, simply touch up every 4 weeks. After just 8 touch up treatments you can enjoy smooth skin with 12 months of hair reduction*.

Can I use Philips Lumea every week?
When starting your IPL treatments with Philips Lumea, our recommended treatment plan is that your first four treatments are done on a fortnightly basis rather than weekly, followed by monthly top ups to keep hair regrowth at bay. It is not recommended to use your Lumea more than a fortnightly basis as IPL is only effective when your hair is in the ‘growing’ phase, so doing your treatment weekly won’t improve or speed up the results you see.
Using Philips Lumea IPL, you can expect to see results from as early as your third treatment – with a 92% hair reduction when following the treatment plan1 (although this may vary from person to person). To get the most optimal results we recommend you follow the treatment plan and, if you tend to be a little forgetful like me, add these to your IPL app so you get those very helpful reminders when your next treatment is due.
