    Overview

    The powerful Philips Lumea Prestige Hair Removal Device is designed to give you tailor-made hair removal treatment at home using Intense Pulse Light (IPL) technology.

    IPL is a safe and proven method for long-term hair removal. This device is compatible with a variety of hair and skin types. It features a SmartSkin sensor to deliver the most appropriate setting for you. The included attachments are designed for specific areas on your body including face, underarms, and bikini area.

    For convenient and effective hair removal in the comfort of your own home, this hair removal device is a reliable and versatile option.
    Suitable for a wide range of hair and skin types

    Philips Lumea Prestige works on naturally dark blonde, brown and black hair and on skin tones from very white to dark brown. IPL needs contrast between the pigment in hair color and skin tone, therefore it cannot be used to treat white, grey, light blonde or red hair and is not suitable for very dark skin.

    Personalised hair removal with SenseIQ technology

    The SmartSkin sensor detects your skin tone and indicates the most comfortable light setting for you. Intelligent attachments adapt programs tailored for each body area.

    Body attachment with curved-in design

    The intelligent body attachment has a large treatment window, to quickly treat larger body areas like legs, arms, and stomach. The curved-in design closely follows your body's contours for maximum skin contact. The click-on attachment adapts a tailored program specifically for your body area.

    Five light settings

    Philips Lumea Prestige with SenseIQ technology has five easy-to-select light settings. The SmartSkin sensor detects your skin tone then indicates the most comfortable light setting for whichever area you're treating.

    ✨ Product Test | Philips Lumea IPL 8000 Series with SenseIQ ✨ I’ve been testing the Philips Lumea IPL 8000 Series BRI949/00 and wanted to share my honest thoughts because I know IPL devices can feel like a bit of an investment. First impressions — it feels really premium and well made, and I love that it comes with different attachments for different areas. I was honestly a little apprehensive about using IPL at home, but I found the Lumea surprisingly easy to get the hang of. The SenseIQ technology is probably one of my favourite features. It recognises your skin tone and helps select a suitable light intensity, which made me feel much more confident about using it, especially when I was still getting used to the device. The treatments themselves are fairly quick, although you do need to be consistent. This definitely isn’t a use it once and never shave again kind of product 😂 — but with regular treatments, I’ve noticed that the hair growth in the areas I’ve been treating has become slower and the hair feels finer. I also really like the convenience of being able to do it from home. No salon appointments, no travelling anywhere and I can fit it around my own routine. The honest bit: It does take commitment and patience. You need to follow the recommended treatment schedule and keep on top of it to see the best results. It’s also not completely painless — depending on the area and your sensitivity, you can feel a warm or slightly sharp sensation — but I personally found it manageable. Overall, I’m genuinely impressed with it. If you’re considering investing in an at-home IPL device, the Lumea 8000 Series is definitely one I’d recommend looking into. It feels like a good-quality device and, most importantly, I can actually see a difference with consistent use. 💗
