Amazon Prime customers are rushing to buy a hair removal tool that eradicates the need to shave for up to an entire year. The Philips Lumea IPL Hair Removal Device is being praised for “significantly reducing body hair” with many it's helping them to stay "smooth and hairless for weeks" without having to touch a razor.
For those looking for a hair removal device on even more of a budget, an older model of the same tool, the Philips Lumea IPL Hair Removal 7000 Series, has also been reduced. The Philips Lumea IPL Hair Removal 7000 Series normally costs £349.99, but has been reduced down to £249.99 in the Amazon Prime Day sale.

If you struggle with stubborn hair or find shaving becoming a frustrating task, the Philips Lumea IPL prevents hair growth allowing those who use it to enjoy “12 months of hair-free smooth skin” and up to 92% hair reduction “in as little as 3 treatments.”
Featuring SenseIQ Technology, the SmartSkin sensor measures your skin tone and indicates one of the five light settings will be most comfortable for you. At the start, the process must be undergone every 2 weeks — half as many treatments as other brands.
It comes with specially designed attachments that perfectly fit the curves of your body and trigger the most effective programs for each body area when they are connected. It is suitable to use on dark blonde, brown and black hair, and for skin tones from fair to dark brown - it is not suitable for treating red, light blonde or grey hair, or on very dark skin.
Gentle pulses of light to the hair root put the follicle into a resting phase. The amount of hair your body will "gradually decrease" and those who have used the device say the process is painless and they can enjoy "salon-like results at home."
Those who have bought the product say they “wish they would have known about it sooner” and that it is a very “worthwhile investment” that has saved them money in the long run, while delivering salon standard results. One person has said they are practically “hairless” and only “need a little touch up every 6 months or so, when a few hairs pop up”, adding it is “the best thing” they ever bought.
“It’s absolutely amazing. I downloaded the recommended App which is super cool and helpful and I completed 4 treatments on time,” another said, “my underarm hair doesn’t grow at all after 4 treatments. Noticeable reduction is after 3 treatments. I have olive skin type and dark brown hair and it worked! I’m really happy with my purchase, it was well spent money! Highly recommend it.”
One Amazon shopper said: “I’m in love, it is easy to hold and easy to use. They explain every detail, but I wouldn’t buy cordless, the battery life is like 20min, and you’ll take way more than that to do anything LOL.”
The tool has been proven to be a lifesaver to those planning a holiday this Summer, with one woman saying the key to best results is to use as instructed or by following the app.
“I am very happy with my purchase, it has worked to reduce hair growth and I will continue to use it - especially on the 3 month run-up to my beach holiday,” she said.
Those who suffer with polycystic ovaries (PCOS) were delighted with the results they have achieved using the device to control their excess hair growth, particularly on the face.
“I have polycystic ovaries so I suffer from excess hair growth on my face. I was paying £90 per 8 weeks for treatment. I am over the moon that I can now do the treatment at home and have the added benefit of being able to treat other areas.
“My facial hair is gone in 3 treatments and my legs, underarms and bikini area have shown a significant reduction. Wow. Best product I have ever purchased,” one person wrote.
Another review read: “This product has changed my life. I’m very pale with very dark hair which I believe is why this product has worked so well. But within two sessions the hair on my legs, face and bikini line has reduced significantly. I’ve spent years ashamed and desperately seeking help and this has felt like a miracle.”
Another Amazon shopper said they “noticed a significant decrease in body hair” and it is “definitely a life saver for summer” and “some of the best money” they have spent.
“I had no idea what to expect with this product and in all honesty I was a little sceptical. I’ve been battling hair removal for 17 years of my life and tried numerous different techniques, epilating, waxing, hair removal cream, shaving etc.
“I have naturally thick dark body hair that grows fast. I’m currently at treatment number 2 with my IPL and can honestly say I am absolutely amazed at the results. 80% of my underarm hair has disappeared along with 50% of my bikini line and 50% of my leg hair (lower and upper leg).
“The hair that is still growing back is growing far slower and is far finer. If I continue to see results at this speed then this product will have genuinely changed my life!” another wrote.
One shopper said the device “pays for itself and makes life easier”, adding that the hair removal device “does not hurt.”
“I am mixed race, I have very dark hair and olive skin. Any hair removal did not last long before this. Shaving is out of the question, very uncomfortable. I have had this for 1 year and 8 months, and it is the best thing I have bought for hair removal without a doubt.
“I still remove my hair from the root and then use this. I wax my upper lip, epilate bikini line, legs and under arms, then 48hrs later (as per instruction) I use the Philips lumea. I saw results after 2 months, hair just got finer and finer.
“I now can go about a month and a half without having to worry about hair on my face or legs. Waxing and epilating is a lot faster and smoother, and does not hurt as the ipl weakens the hair root.
“It does not hurt to use the ipl, I use it in sensitive areas first then on my legs last, as the longer it is turned on the warmer it gets. 1 year and 8 months later I only use my ipl every 6-8 weeks, it doesn't take long.
“You need to keep up with your treatments else the hair starts to get stronger again. Big price tag to pay, but it really does pay for itself, and makes your life easier,” they said.
