Philips Lumea IPL 7000 Series BRI924/00 + Philips BRL146/00 ladyshave

It seemed very useful to me to be free of unwanted hair growth for at least three months. I have used the device on legs, armpits and bikini line. The result on the legs is surprisingly good. After using the device twice, there was hardly any hair growth. For the armpits and bikini line, that's a different story. The device has now been used four times in those places, but there is no difference yet. What is striking is that the device also seems to work against patches of psoriasis. It became a lot less with me in the treated places. But before that I would have to use it for at least a year to be able to give a definitive answer.

I am very happy with this product. I have quite sensitive skin so I often suffer from red bumps after shaving. Thanks to this product, I will almost never have to experience this discomfort again! Yes, it costs a bit, but to me it's totally worth the amount. The result is great! Already after 1 treatment I noticed results on my thighs, the hairs grew back very slowly. I would recommend this product to anyone who experiences discomfort with shaving and who, for example, want to get rid of the uncertainty that all kinds of body hair can be seen in the summer.

Very nicely designed device; elegant and feminine. It is also very easy to hold and not too heavy. The device is practical to use without reading the manual, that's how intuitive it feels. There is hardly any pain when used on the legs and only moderate discomfort when used on the bikini line Very handy are the different attachments that you can use to distinguish between face/body/bikini line; according to the manual, these work at different strengths, so that is very user-friendly. The window must be completely covered for proper operation; this does cause problems on harder body parts such as fingers or feet. It is therefore not always possible to treat every spot. Treating a zone continues smoothly but it is impossible to see where you have already been. Because of this, it is inevitable that you will either double spots (which is best avoided according to the manual) or skip spots. The manual itself at times causes more confusion than clarification. For example, I find it strange that you have to determine your skin type in order to know which setting you should set the device to (ranging from 1 to 5). However, every skin type comes out at position 3 or 4. So I wonder what position 1,2, and 5 are ever used for. And a small detail, but I think the quality of the manual (for example the paper) is rather substandard and does not match the quality (and price) of the device. Furthermore, it is also important to realize that the supplied precision tool is a trimmer, and of course cannot perform flashes of light. In retrospect, this is the logic itself, but hadn't thought about this before. Somewhat unfortunate because IPL for eyebrows would also be useful. I also find it a pity that the device does not seem to work on a battery; it is always necessary to plug in the cord. This may be sufficiently long, but it would have been a lot more user-friendly to be able to use the device without a cord. In addition, the cable comes off fairly easily, so I have thought a few times that the device was defective, while simply the cable did not make good contact. Finally, the results are unfortunately disappointing. I have treated 3 zones on 2 people (both the same skin type): 1) my own legs: blond light hair - I had low expectations here anyway 2) my own dark hair bikini line 3) someone else's feet, also dark hair All zones have been treated 3 times with 2 weeks in between. The blond, fine hairs on my legs show, not unexpectedly, no difference. Neither does my bikini line! From this I would have concluded that the device simply does not work, but surprisingly it works very well on the feet of the other person: after 3 turns almost nothing comes back.
