Welcome
Welcome to the beauty world of Lumea! You are only a few weeks away
from silky-smooth skin.
Philips Lumea uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, known as one of
the most effective methods to continuously prevent hair regrowth. In close
cooperation with licensed dermatologists we adapted this light-based
technology, originally used in professional beauty salons, for easy and
effective use in the safety of your home. Philips Lumea is gentle and offers
convenient and effective treatment at a light intensity that you find
comfortable. Unwanted hairs are finally a thing of the past. Enjoy the feeling
of being hair-free and look and feel amazing every day.
