Depilacja bikini z Philips Lumea - Gładkość i Komfort

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.

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.

Urządzenie należy po prostu włączyć, ustawić moc własnoręcznie lub korzystając z czujnika SmartSkin automatycznie dobiera właściwy poziom intensywności światła i przyłożyć do skóry najlepiej pod kątem 90 stopni , a następnie nacisnąć przycisk.
