Philips Lumea 8000 Series IPL Hair Removal Device - Laser Hair Removal Alternative, SenseIQ Technology, 4 Attachments for Body, Face, Bikini and Underarms, Satin Compact Pen Trimmer, Model BRI949/00

Works great! Worth the money, but you need to be consistent, keep doing it or your hair will grow back pretty quickly. Easy to use! Doesn't hurt using it, only stings a little bit if you have sensitive skin. You can get quick results.

I am a male buyer and I've noticed that there aren't many previews out there for the male audience! I have got a hairy chest and a slightly hairy back. I got tired of it and I wanted to get rid of that hair, thus I decided to give this machine a go. I was rather annoyed to see that the instructions and the app are always referring to the female audience, something that I find a bit outdated nowadays, as I'm pretty sure there are lots of men out there who try this product too. It's been a month since I started the treatment and I can already notice the difference. The hair grows a lot slower and my skin is becoming a lot smoother. At the moment, I can still see patches of hair in different areas of my chest, which grow a lot quicker than the rest, but the treatment isn't over yet. The machine is definitely a bit pricey, but it's worth its money. It's made of strong materials, it looks sturdy and of great quality. It performs great and the intervals between flashes are pretty quick, getting the job done quicker. Is it painful?! It can be! It really depends on what area you're treating, the intensity you use and, of course, your pain tolerance! It arrives with a nice carry on bag, so you can store it and take it with you when you travel. Keep in mind, whenever you go through airport security, you might need to remove it from your bag, because the airport security might need to perform some extra checks on the item. After all, it is a nice product and any men or women are thinking of buying this product, I'd recommend to give it a go!

UPDATE 01/2026 I’ve added a video. You can see where I don’t IPL vs where I do with better regrowth than my picture. I did IPL 2 weeks prior to this video on my legs and have not waxed, tweezed or shaved between, this is just how good of a response I’ve had with IPL). Armpits don’t grow anymore after 2nd treatment, unwanted hair has literally gone from face and body, my scars from ingrowns are healing 🥹. It’s changed my life and body routine. Can’t wait to go on anbroad, IPL before I go and not have to care about regrowth!!! All I will say, is each leg takes a good 15-20 minutes and I do have to let it cool down a bit between, but I have chunky muscly legs and big thighs, so prep for a “self care” session when you’re doing bigger areas. My inner thigh is also more sensitive so I turn it down from 4-3. Original post: I have very dark thick fast growing body hair and pretty pale (but do tan well in summer) and struggle with ingrown hairs on inner thighs, back of legs. I started waxing 2 years ago, which helped but even with waxing I have hairs come back 3-4 days later on legs, about same for arm pits and face (under chin, chin, moustache). Problem with waxing is the amount of growth between waxes, and the hair gets thinner, weaker and ingrown hairs become worse as they can’t break the skin, or need heavy exfoliating treatments. (Or at least this is my personal experience). Doctor recommended IPL after I asked what they could assist with and I purchased it Black Friday. What an absolute game changer. I had my last professional wax, and the next day I started IPL treatment. My armpit hair has responded incredibly- 2 weeks and only 3 hairs came back (which was on the outsides where I probably missed). Legs, I can show you a few patches because I have tattoos where I can’t use IPL (do not IPL your tattoos or dark spots!!!). Once the hairs grown a bit more over 2 weeks I’ll try to put up a better picture to show treated vs untreated area. I will also admit that I have hair around my nipples which I find awful. IPL has completely removed the sporadic hairs I used to have to keep plucking. 2 weeks hair free so far around that area. Thats a 100% improvement to pulling a hair every 3-4th day. I was worried about pain, but on strength 4 I only feel warmth. If the device gets quite hot after prolonged use, you can get an occasional sharper warmth but it really is nothing. I simply turn the unit off, to make a drink, and come back. Takes a bit to get used to & learn how much to move the device, but the app has plenty of tips that really helped me. I use my finger to mark and slide up my legs. The app has a schedule in, with full instructions regarding pre care and after care, and reminders for logging your IPL treatment. Every 2 weeks for first 3, then monthly after that. This is due to hair cycle growth and whether you capture all the areas on your flash. It would cost me around £600 a year to get waxed, and I would have growth within 7 days and fight with ingrown, mental health also being a ‘slip n slide’. The 8000 unit cost me £320 on Black Friday and it is the best Doctor recommendation I have ever had. It takes me about 30 minutes to do legs, 10 to do armpits, 2 minutes for face, 2 mins other body parts (ladder, nipples). I don’t have sensitive skin and have had 0 reactions or red marks. I’ve just finished my 2nd treatment and the results are way better than I thought possible. I went for the wired edition, as didn’t want to faff with a charging battery or risk it running out half way. My hair growth was affecting me mentally, and also made me uncomfortable with my partner due to looking like a bear between waxing. No more! New found confidence for less than an hour of my time every 2 weeks.

After months of salon visits draining my wallet, I decided to take the plunge with the Philips Lumea Series 8000, and what a rollercoaster it's been! First, the bright side: This device is seriously smart 🧠. The SenseIQ technology takes the guesswork out of treatment settings, and the companion app feels like having a personal beauty therapist in your pocket. The four curved attachments are thoughtfully designed - they hug every curve from ankles to armpits, making those awkward spots much more manageable. The results? Impressive. After three treatments, I've noticed significantly reduced hair growth on my legs, and those pesky ingrown hairs have become a rare sight. The included pen trimmer is a neat bonus for touch-ups between sessions. However, let's talk about the elephant in the room - the price tag 💸. While it's cheaper than endless salon visits, it's still a significant investment. But considering the 18-month hair-free promise (which seems achievable based on my experience), it could be worth the splurge. Now for the zaps and zings: While Philips claims it's gentle, let's be real - it's not exactly a spa day 😅. The sensation ranges from a warm snap to a slight sting, depending on the area and setting. Sensitive souls might need to build up tolerance gradually. The treatment schedule requires commitment. Starting with bi-weekly sessions before moving to monthly maintenance might test your patience, but the results make it worthwhile. The 8.5-minute leg treatment claim is optimistic - factor in prep time and careful positioning. Bottom line: If you're ready to commit to the routine and can stomach the initial investment, the Philips Lumea 8000 delivers on its promises. Just remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint, to silky-smooth skin. (Plus, having your own IPL device means no more awkward small talk during salon appointments - that's priceless!)

Prodotto arrivato in tempo e come da descrizione. L'ho regalato a mia moglie e dopo anni di utilizzo mi ha confermato che è un prodotto funzionante e di buona qualità

Ma femme utilise cet épilateur à lumière pulsée Philips Lumea depuis environ 7 ans, et avec le recul, c’est clairement un appareil fiable et efficace sur le long terme. L’utilisation a été régulière, en suivant les recommandations de l’application dédiée, et sur différentes zones conseillées. L’app est simple, bien conçue, et les rappels sont très utiles pour garder une bonne régularité, ce qui fait toute la différence pour obtenir des résultats visibles. Le confort pendant les séances est correct : la sensation est tout à fait supportable, sans être réellement douloureuse. La peau est de type moyen, et les résultats sont apparus progressivement mais de façon nette avec un usage régulier. Après toutes ces années, l’appareil fonctionne toujours aussi bien qu’au premier jour, sans panne ni baisse de performance. Le produit est livré avec une housse de rangement pratique ainsi qu’un chiffon pour le nettoyage des embouts, ce qui est appréciable au quotidien. La différence est clairement visible sur la durée, et c’est une excellente alternative aux séances en institut pour celles qui recherchent une solution durable, à domicile et bien maîtrisée. Je recommande sans hésitation.

I do this roughly every two weeks, leaves you feeling smooth but needs regular sessions. After a couple of months seems to get a bit hot which I don't know of it's supposed to but it definitely works to reduce hair growth.

takes long and hair still grows back just a bit less
