So, here it is; the final update from my trial period of testing out the Philips Lumea Plus. Can't quite believe it's been 2 months since I started using this product! Since then I've moved house, made another pretty big life decision (which you'll find out about soon) and all the while this gadget has been by my side.

To be honest, using this product couldn't have come at a better time - I've been the busiest I've been in a long while and shaving and pampering has been at the bottom of my list of priorities.
Thankfully, hair growth really started slowing down on my legs after a month and now I can go full weeks without shaving them and barely give a second thought to it. There are a few random sparse hairs here and there, but overall my legs are smooth & hair free, which even Andrew has noticed & complimented.
Armpits & bikini line have taken a little longer to start seeing good results, I think this must be because I use it on a lower setting (normally 2/3) as that area does tend to be a little more tender and the higher settings do make me flinch a bit, but hair growth is beginning to look sporadic and I think with a few more treatments the results will be fantastic.
The device has innovative light-based technology called IPL, which works by applying gentle pulses of light to the hair root, therefore resulting in natural hair shedding over time and hair growth becoming inhibited.
I love the fact that I can do this in the comfort of my own home (bed) and without the big cost of laser treatment. I would really, really recommend this to any one who either hates shaving &
waxing, or has thought about laser hair removal as it's a much more comfortable, easy, pain-free & a more affordable alternative!
"Lumea, the secret to beautiful hair free skin, for up to 2 months."
