What is your recommended IPL aftercare?
The great thing about IPL is that there’s no ‘down-time’ or recovery time needed. However, I do have a few tips and recommendations on how you can best look after your skin post IPL treatment.
Directly after using Philips Lumea, your skin will be more sensitive. Therefore, we recommend you wait at least 24 hours or until all redness has disappeared before exposing treated areas to the sun and would avoid using any actives (like retinol) straight after treatment on the face. Adding a layer of your favourite moisturiser post treatment is also a great way to complete each session to keep your skin feeling smooth.
Logging each of your treatments in the handy Lumea app will help keep you on track as it sends you helpful reminders on upcoming treatments, as well as hosting a wealth of additional tips and guidance support.
For most of us, IPL is an investment so to keep it in great condition you should be keeping your IPL device clean, giving it a wipe down after every use and pop it in the storage bag.

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.
Philips Lumea Prestige review: Design and Attachments
The Lumea Prestige feels like a luxury device. It's solid and gives you confidence that it could survive being thrown in a suitcase and bashed around a little.
Philips has opted for an L-shaped design for the Lumea Prestige, which we prefer over the 'stick deodorant' design of some other IPL machines. The L-shape is comfortable to hold and makes extended use less strenuous.
That being said, the machine is still quite heavy, so can be wearing on your wrists. So, while I can happily cover both legs on my own, I do prefer having a partner do it for me.
The Lumea Prestige is the flagship product in Philips' IPL range, and, as such, it comes with all the attachments you'll need to treat your entire body. These include:
Face attachment
Precision attachment
The Precision attachment is a medium-sized, curved attachment designed for precise coverage of bikini and underarm areas
Body attachment
The Body attachment is the largest curved, contour-following design for fast treatment on large body areas like legs, arms, back and stomach.
You also get a pouch to store the device and all the attachments.
