Philips Lumea Advanced IPL Hair Removal System for Body & Face - SC199700

The Philips Lumea Advanced IPL Hair Removal Device is a popular choice for at-home hair removal. It offers effective and long-lasting results, although the experience and reception of the product is mixed. One of the main differences between the SC1999 and SC2007 models is the integrated skin tone sensor. The SC1999 has this feature, which stops the device from flashing on darker skin areas. However, some users found this sensor to be overly sensitive, stopping on slightly darker skin. The SC2007, on the other hand, does not have this sensor. Another difference is the size of the light exit window, which appears slightly larger in the SC2007. There is an option to purchase the version with a bikini attachment. However, some users reported issues with the attachment not working properly. In such cases, they have used the body piece for all areas, including the bikini area and face, with no problems. The SC1999 and the BRI956 are very similar, with the main difference being that the BRI956 can be used cordless or corded. The price difference between these models is significant. The device can be used on the bikini area, face, underarms, legs, and other areas. However, it is recommended to reduce the intensity for more sensitive skin. It is not necessary to wear goggles while using the device, but it is advisable to avoid looking directly at the light. It is important to note that using the device on tattooed skin can cause the tattoo to blister. Overall, the reception of the Philips Lumea Advanced IPL Hair Removal Device is mixed. Some users have had good experiences with visible reduction in hair growth, but it requires perseverance. Others have found the device to be faulty or ineffective, and recommend seeking professional laser treatments instead.
