Laser hair removal is known as the most effective method available – but also as the most expensive. Luckily, there are a number of more convenient and less costly home hair removal options that can deliver great results too.
Philips is one of the leading brands on the market for IPL devices. And one of it’s bestsellers, the Lumea IPL Hair Removal 9000 Series, has just been reduced from £489.99 to £379.98 at Amazon – you can also get it from Boots (£379.99).
The device promises one year of hair reduction, with up to 92 per hair reduction in just three treatments. It comes with a sensor that automatically adapts to your skin tone, multiple heads for head-to-toe treatment and is cordless, the only Lumea model to be so.

As it’s advised to shave before treatment, to help the light beam focus on the hair root, you can also get the eos Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream, currently on offer at £8.52 at Amazon. The IPL machine has a 4.4 rating out of 484 reviews.
A very satisfied shopper wrote: “Has made a world of difference: if like me you wish you had never started shaving because you didn’t even really have any hair and now you’ve ended up with painful irritating stubble – this is for you. Two months in an I have hardly any hair and it stays that way for weeks, I barely need to shave anymore.”
Another added: “My legs and underarms are practically hairless, no ingrown hairs no shadows, honestly it’s a game changer. I’m mixed white/Cypriot with dark think hair, I have found it to be virtually painless especially compared to waxing.”

A third penned: “I waited a while to do a review and I can honestly say if you’re thinking about it and have dark hair, you should go for it. It’s been a game changer for me.”
Although a great product overall according to the reviews, some customers weren’t as impressed with the results: “I’ve been using this religiously for nearly two years and have seen no difference. I wish I hadn’t wasted my money.”
