Philips Lumea Review

As an introduction, let us compare Cleopatra to the modern day woman; the task is not difficult for they have something in common. Apart from both being women, they have the same quest for beauty. Going back thousands of years and irrespective of social status, women have always indulged in the quest for beauty. Looking good is an important factor, not only for your self confidence, but the way you feel inside.

Hair-free smooth skin is an integral part of appearing beautiful and thus a worldwide surge for the best hair removal products has begun. The "complete hair removal solution" is understood to be easy to perform, affordable, quick, painless and result orientated. There are many methods of hair removal out there but it is really hard to find one that incorporates all the above mentioned traits and thus can be called 'complete'.

The hunt for a complete method is now just around the corner thanks to Philips coming up with a revolutionary hair removal product by the name of Lumea. Lumea claims to illuminate the world with its almost magical abilities to remove body hair with absolutely no hassle and great results.

The Philips Lumea is not magic but science; it uses the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology. The technology has been in use in beauty salons for a variety of purposes but it is Philips that has brought it to the home and made it into a handy device.

It uses Intense Pulsed Light to penetrate to the roots of the hair. This automatically weakens the root and the hair sheds afterwards. In addition to removing the hairs it also arrests the hair growth and after a prolonged period of use the hair growth reduces considerably. The intensity of treatments may differ from one person to another but in general one needs to perform the treatment every 2 to 4 weeks.

With Philips Lumea at hand, forget the never ending hair removing sessions as it requires less than 1 hour to treat whole body. If you don't need to treat the whole body then smaller areas will of course take less time. For example:

• Under arms: expect this to take about 2 minutes per armpit.
• Leg: For the whole leg you might be looking at about 30 minutes. For just the lower leg then expect this to be reduced to about 15 minutes.
• Arms: For the whole arm you'll be looking at 20 to 25 minutes, and just the forearm plan for about 10 to 15 minutes per arm.

It is dermatological tested and suits every skin and hair type. Laser technology which also uses light can be ineffective on dark skinned people. IPL does not have any side effects and does not require any added medication such as topical creams.

If time is of the essence and you don't want to mess around removing hair everyday or every few days then the Philips Lumea could be the best hair removal product for you.
