Any woman will agree that extra hair is a source of constant psychological and sometimes physical inconvenience. This is especially acute when wearing an open outfit or swimsuit. Following the wishes of the fairer sex, cosmetologists and doctors have developed many ways to get rid of unwanted hair on the body and face. One of these procedures was photoepilation, which in recent years has become possible to carry out not only in beauty salons and medical centers, but also at home using a device such as a photoepilator. Philips Lumia (we will also review reviews of this equipment in this article) became one of the first home hair removal devices on the market and earned numerous recommendations from both users and cosmetologists.

Photoepilation - what is it?

Photoepilation is performed using a light flux and allows you to effectively get rid of hair on almost any part of the body. Its main differencefrom other methods of hair removal - the lack of contact of the device used with the skin, and therefore the pain during the procedure is reduced to absolute zero.

In addition to the fact that unwanted hairs disappear from the skin during the session, it also becomes more elastic and smooth, as the narrowly directed light promotes the production of collagen in skin cells.

Photoepilation is repeated several times within 6-12 months. Each course has an individual character, but only with its complete passage, unwanted hair will not bother you for the next 4-5 years.

The principle of photoepilation

Photoepilation is performed using a special device - a photoepilator. It gives powerful light signals that are absorbed by melanin, a substance found in the hair root. Under the influence of these blows, the bulb is destroyed. Therefore, the darker your hair, the more effective photoepilation will be.

Philips photoepilator reviews

What do the women themselves, who have already tried this method of hair removal, say about these devices? Almost every Philips Lumia photoepilator has the most positive reviews. As for their main characteristics and purpose, women note the high effectiveness and duration of the effect. With an average weight (from 0.5 to 0.7 kg), the devices are comfortable to hold in your hands, there is practically no fatigue, even during long procedures.

The Philips Lumia Comfort photoepilator is the most popular. The reviews of the owners of the device speak primarily of its rather low cost for equipment of this level and its compact size, which cannot be said about the devices of the Precision Plus series. For particularly coarse hair, an increased course of procedures is required, but the result is worth it. Women note that with regular use of the photoepilator, the time between procedures increases each time - the hair begins to grow back more and more slowly. The only downside to the Comfort series is that this epilator has a cord that gets in the way while in use.

The Philips Lumia photoepilator with special attachments is very interesting. Reviews (2003, 2004 and 2006 models are included here in the first place) indicate that any ofthey perfectly eliminate unwanted facial hair. Moreover, no matter how unpleasant it may sound, the darker the hairs above the lip and on the cheeks, the better the device copes with its task. If the tone and force of the blow are chosen correctly, then there is no discomfort either during the procedure or after it. The main disadvantage of the Precision Plus series can be considered the price - the cost of the device can reach as much as 40,000 rubles, which puts it on a par with professional equipment.

No need to visit salon procedures and regularly buy consumables - that's what else characterizes each Philips Lumia photoepilator. Reviews of women indicate that the devices, although expensive, completely beat off their price over time. And you can use it at any time, without an appointment and a queue at the cosmetological office.

However, any Philips Lumia photoepilator, reviews of which are given above, should be selected taking into account the conditions of its use. If you want to treat your face, then you should not save on your he alth - the Comfort series photoepilator will be enough, but it is better to give preference to more advanced models. And one more thing: for women with blond hair, these devices will not work - the effect will be extremely low.
