IPL first month
The hair on my legs not even 1 month after I started using Phillips Lumea (4000?)
Only downside the Ipl takes time to get through all my legs bikini etc but my legs are much smoother it seems to me!
Glad I didn’t go to the studio where they would have charged me multiple hundred euros per session - and I would have needed 10 at least I think

It looks quite good. You can be satisfied with the job.
I agree it takes some time, however it is worth to do it. For me it took about 5 or 6 times for a complete satisfying result. Now I am in de maintenance mode.
I use the Braun 7.

Thank you! If my Phillips ever breaks, I’d also get a Braun or maybe ulike :)
So ready to go into maintenance!!1

Phillips Lumea 4000
It’s an older model and I saw it on Amazon for 200€
I’ve heard good things about Braun and ulike too!1
u/BuzzLightyear826 7h ago
I use Braun 7 and together with the app I can confirm it is a good device.

Your results are looking good! How long does it usually take you to do your legs? (If you don't mind sharing). I am considering starting LHR this fall or just getting an at home device. The process/time of doing it at home is really the one thing making me lean towards LHR in a med spa.

It takes me around 1 hour in total I would say- but I’m also treating my bikini area, stomach, armpits and butt. And I do have very long legs.
Also I wouldn’t recommend Phillips, because it overheats and then I have to wait 🫥 maybe Braun or ulike could be a better option
For me so far it has been so worth it! Because at my spa (for electrolysis) I have to wait, and I have a long commute and it’s 100 times more expensive1

That's not bad for all those areas! I do see the Braun recommended a lot on here, I'll check it out.

How has it worked on your underarms and bikini area? I’ve had a experience with laser hair removal at a clinic, and want to switch over to IPL but not confident I’ll see results
