Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips!
Light-based hair removal is one of the most effective methods
to treat unwanted body hair with longer-lasting results.
You can now use this innovative light-based hair regrowth
prevention technology comfortably in the privacy of your
own home, whenever and wherever you want.
Philips Lumea enables treatment of unwanted hair on the
whole body below the neck using the tailored attachment.

to the hair and hair root beneath the skin. As a consequence,
the hair sheds naturally and hair regrowth is inhibited.
