My Philips Lumea IPL Experience:
I have tried alexandrite laser before on my legs and got good results after 5 trials. 80% reduction on hairs on lower legs. Unfortunately it did not work for my upper legs and on arms. I have used conventional methods for my upper legs and arms like waxing etc. I was tired of making hair removal waxes on every 20 days and searched for permanent solutions for hairs on my arms and upper legs.
I heard about Philips Lumea IPL and searched for reviews. Although I found positive feedbacks from different websites and forums, I could not be 100% sure about it. I am not expecting 100% result from the IPL laser but at least expecting slower hair growth...
I tested Rowenta EP9870 Derma Perfect Precision and Philips Lumea IPL Precision SC2003/11 on my arm at their highest level of laser light intensity at MediaMarkt store.
Rowenta was easier to use, and I felt less pain during usage at the highest level and got better results.
Although I liked Rowenta more, I decided to buy Philips Lumea IPL. Rowenta cannot be used on facial areas and has less light flashes (approximately. 70-100 thousands).
