Kvalita zpracování a ergonomie
U tohoto epilátoru výrobce vsadil na prakticky stejný design jako u ostatních modelů z řady Philips Lumea. Epilátor se snadno drží v ruce a pohodlně se ovládá. Co se týče konstrukce, rozhodně z ní nebudete mít pocit, že byste byli ošizení. Jednotlivé díly na sebe totiž skvěle lícují a Philips Lumea tak na první pohled působí poctivým dojmem.
S výměnou jednotlivých nástavců není problém. Epilátor navíc dokáže sám rozpoznat, jaký konkrétní nástavec jste vložili a aktivuje program určený k ošetření konkrétní části těla.
Samotné ošetření probíhá jednoduše a epilátor můžete bez problémů ovládat jednou rukou. Samozřejmě je třeba počítat s tím, že epilace celého těla vám pár desítek minut zabere a po takové chvíli už se může zdát epilátor těžký (přece jen má zabudovanou baterii). Není to však nic, co by vás výrazně omezilo a vy si kdykoliv můžete udělat krátkou přestávku.
Philips Lumea Prestige review: Use
Okay, so how do you actually use the Philips Lumea Prestige?
When you first get the Prestige you'll want to download the Philips Lumea IPL app. This will walk you through using the machine and set up a treatment plan. It's a simple, well-designed app that's easy to use.
Initially, you'll need to IPL your chosen body part/parts every two weeks for eight weeks (four sessions). The app will remind you when a treatment is due.
You can use the device corded or cordless, which is useful if you want to sit comfortably away from a socket, but you can access higher settings when using the Prestige corded.
Once you're ready, simply place the device against your skin and pull the trigger. The bulb won't flash unless there's a seal between your skin and the light window – this is to protect your eyes and to ensure correct placement.
For smaller, trickier areas you can then move the Lumea and pull the trigger again, or, for larger areas such as your legs, you can glide the device slowly along your skin holding the trigger for a continuous run of flashes.
It can take a fairly long time to do your legs (around 15-20 minutes) as the light window area is quite small. I think this is perfectly bearable, especially as you can do it from the comfort of a sofa, armchair, or bed.
Describing the sensation of IPL is quite difficult – it's certainly not painful, but, occasionally, you can feel an odd stinging sensation, like a small insect bite that goes away after a few seconds. It's certainly much less painful than waxing or epilating.
I've found a close shave prior to your IPL treatment is key to minimising these stings.
After the initial phase, you need to complete top-up sessions every six to eight weeks. Again, the app will remind you when a treatment is due.
