How great is the idea of doing an IPL treatment yourself instead of going to a beauty salon. Perfect you would say, the payback period of this device would then also be a few treatments. However, I do experience that it takes more time and work than I had thought. First of all, the device is quite clumsy and heavy. If you want to treat your legs, it is still perfectly doable. But if you come to your upper body or to places with more curves, then it becomes more difficult to do it yourself with this device. Where a mirror is sometimes also necessary and you do it in mirror image, extra challenge!
You have to take into account a lot of rules. Not twice in the same place in a row, not on moles etc. That makes working and doing it yourself more time-consuming and also more difficult. For example, I have to change attachments halfway through and I have to take into account the battery life, which is fine for a treatment.
What also strikes me is that you really have to use the device well on the skin, otherwise you think that a picture is being taken continuously by the flash of light. What I personally also worry about is the safety of this with regard to people around you or your own health. So wearing sunglasses is recommended.
I dare not say what the output of this device is yet, I am a blonde with light hair myself. This is not directly recommended in that and for that I have to have used the device at least 4 times over 8 weeks, spread out every other week. So I have to be patient for a while.
Personally, I prefer it if someone would do the treatment for me instead of doing it myself, because then I know for sure that everything is done and also well without me having to pay attention myself.

I was allowed to test the Philips Lumea IPL. I have light skin and black hair, which is rare but it is ideal for this device. The manual is basically clear and you can get started right away.
I had not prepared myself well for the effect of the light flashes, I can't find anything about this in the manual. The flashes are really intense, I have to close my eyes with my shirt over my head, or look the other way with my eyes closed, then it is doable. Perhaps certain glasses are needed for this? I will do some research on this.
The Lumea, especially in combination with the app, clearly indicates which setting it should be on. It scans your skin and gives recommendations. It indicated setting 5 for me, but I still find this a bit too intense. I am fine on setting 4. I was curious whether a lower setting would still have sufficient effect.
I tested my legs: left leg not done, right leg done a few laps. This way I could see the difference well. After one treatment you can already see a difference, clearly less hair grows back. After two weeks I did the second treatment, then waited for the hair to grow. The hairs on my left leg are now a few millimeters long, while they just stay away on my right leg.
The treatment takes quite a lot of time and it takes some practice. However, when I see this result now, I think it is worth it. I still have to find a good way for this and it does require some dedication.

I have been using the Philips Lumea for 3.5 weeks now. The Philips Lumea comes in a box with 3 extra attachments. Before I started, I installed the app. They advise you to first try the device on a piece of your skin. Then wait 24 hours and see if there is a reaction. After 24 hours of no reaction, I started with my legs. Depilating your legs takes a lot of time. You need a lot of flashes and I find it difficult to see if you have done everything. I have just done my first repetition (which you do after 2 weeks). I cannot say yet whether it works. The hair on my legs is still growing back. The first 4x you flash every 2 weeks, after that it could be every 4 weeks. The flashing itself does not hurt. You can set the Lumea to 5 settings. You can use the device with and without a plug. I would recommend using it with a plug; this is faster. It also runs out of power quickly otherwise.
