If you have already looked at the original Philips Lumea SC2001/00 IPL Intense Pulsed Light Hair Removal System reviews you will see that I reviewed the original model and that I really liked the product and it works very well for me. To date there are over 60 comments on the review and I have answered dozens of emails of questions and queries. I am more than happy to answer any further queries you may have but please be patient as I may be on my travels but I will answer ALL. Much of the wording below is of that same review because this is the same machine as the original Lumea but with an additional head attachment for facial use. I am a prime candidate - white(ish) skinned with dark hair - and I have also experienced Intense Pulsed Light treatment at my local salon where I was treated with the Aculight system of...

The new and improved Philips Lumea Precision is an update on the previous model - the main differences are that it's lighter, thus easier to manipulate whilst using it on difficult-to-reach areas such as underarms, legs or bikini line. There's also a precision attachment which is specifically designed for use on the upper lip/chin areas. Ok - so does it work? Well I've now owned it since 17th March and have been using it regularly by following the instructions and carrying out the necessary preparatory work - i.e. shaving the area prior to treatment and repeating the steps every two weeks or so. I have medium to light skin with dark/brownish body hair so according to the chart on the box I should be a perfect candidate for this system and use it on the 4/5 or 5/5 settings. As a result of using this system I have to shave my face every day - it's no joke, I have stubble otherwise, my body hair grows quickly. I think after two months of regular use that it's...

I have tried a number of different hair removal products over the years and this is, so far, one of the best I have ever used. * Starting Up The Lumea arrives boxed with a charging cable, two different attachments (one for body, one for face) and a storage pouch. It also comes with a detailed instruction manual and DVD, which you can read/watch whilst waiting for the unit to charge for first use (which takes about 90 minutes). This also gives you the opportunity to prepare the test treatment area to ensure you use the correct intensity level for your skin and thus avoid any adverse reactions. My skin is pale and I have dark hair, so I can use the unit at the highest light intensity levels. I tested 24 hours in advance of a main treatment and, whilst the instructions suggested I should test at the lowest recommended setting for my skin type (4 or 5 on a scale of 1-5), I chose to be more cautious (and cowardly, as I wished to carefully assess potential...
