Let's be honest, hair removal is often a painful, tedious process which none of us really enjoy - whether it's shaving, waxing, plucking or zapping.
For those who can afford it, many have gone down the route of laser hair removal done by a professional, however if you don't have thousands to part with for silky smooth skin, fear not, as there's a way to get similar results at home for significantly less.
Originally priced at £509.99, the Philips Lumea 8000 Prestige IPL Hair Removal device is now available for £399.99 - which works out less than you'd pay for two sessions of laser hair removal if done in a salon.
The device boasts Philips innovative IPL, short for 'Intense Pulsed Light' technology which destroys the hair at the root and breaks the cycle of hair regrowth - over time leaving your skin hair free and super smooth.
The device is said to work effectively on a wide variety of hair and skin types - from naturally dark blonde and brown to black coloured hairs, however it cannon’t be used to treat white/grey, light blonde or red hair. It's also suitable for men too, however it's not recommended for male facial hair or genital areas.
Included you’ll get four attachments for your body, face, bikini and underarms - plus a free access to the Lumena App which helps you create a personalised treatment schedule with reminders, tips and advice during each treatment to achieve long-lasting results.
The first 4 treatments must be carried out every 2 weeks, after which you should already be able to see the desired results. To maintain your results, simply touch up every 4 weeks, and after just 8 touch up treatments you should be hair-free for 12 whole months - what a dream, especially for summer!
It's received plenty of glowing reviews on the Boots website too, with shoppers calling it 'life-changing' and 'worth the money.'
One delighted customer said: "I have been using it as instructed and now on my forth treatment. The results are simply incredible and I genuinely think I should have done this years ago. The real results started show after the third treatment and the growth under my under arms, my bikini, my lip, my legs almost entirely gone."
While a second added: "Absolutely one of the best purchases I have ever made. Fast and long lasting results in all areas zapped within the first couple of treatments. It’s great to have one less thing to worry about…”Did I shave…?” Doesn’t matter. Nothing there to shave. Joy!"
So, if you're looking for a way to get rid of hair without spending a fortune on laser, or hours in the salon, you can pick up the Philips Lumea IPL 8000 for £110 less here.
